Unveiling the iQoo 12: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Now Available in India!
Utilizing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, the iQoo 12 was introduced in India.
Just a few weeks after its original showing in China, iQoo 12 made its debut in India in December 2023. The phone sports a 5,000mAh battery with support for cable fast charging and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 CPU. The phone has a quad-HD AMOLED display and is powered by the Android 14 user interface. It comes with two RAM and storage variants and a triple rear camera set with a periscope camera. It has now been confirmed by iQoo that a special Anniversary Edition of the iQoo 12 will shortly be released.
Nipun Marya, CEO of iQoo India, announced the imminent India launch of the iQoo 12 Anniversary Edition model in a post on X (previously Twitter). In an open letter linked to the article, the business executive claimed that this is the first Anniversary Edition phone that iQoo would release in the nation. It will signal the end of the firm’s four-year adventure in India.
We are four! Thanks for your love and trust over these 4 years. We've cherished every moment of questing fearlessly for you. #iQOO #iQOOTurns4 pic.twitter.com/swrRWlNTGN

Neither the company nor the executive have verified any more information on the iQoo 12 Anniversary Edition. We don’t know how it will differ from the country’s current iQoo 12 offering. The color and/or finish of the rear panel, like with many special edition phones, might vary. It is rumored that the forthcoming edition would come in a red colorway, similar to the Burning Way model that was released in China. However, as nothing official is known, readers should take this suggestion with a grain of salt.
iQoo 12 is available in China in a third Burning Way (translated from Chinese) hue.
The iQoo 12 was released in India featuring a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and a specialized Q1 processor to increase gaming performance, coupled with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 internal storage. It runs Android 14-based FuntouchOS 14 and has a 6.78-inch 144Hz quad-HD LTPO AMOLED display. The phone is powered by a 5,000mAh battery that supports 120W FlashCharge.
For optics, the iQoo 12 sports a triple rear camera unit with a 50-megapixel main sensor, another 50-megapixel sensor combined with an ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto shooter with 3x optical zoom. The front camera has a 16-megapixel sensor. The iQoo 12 is available in Alpha and Legend hues and is priced in India at Rs. 52,999 for the 12GB + 256GB version and Rs. 57,999 for the 16GB + 512GB edition.
