iQOO is all set to introduce its newest iQOO 12 5G in the Indian market. The all-new iQOO 12 5G will make its India debut today, i.e., on December 12 at 5:00 PM local time. The iQOO 12 5G is all set to become India’s first smartphone to come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Vivo spin-off iQOO claims, the iQOO 12 5G will also be the first non-Pixel smartphone in India to run Android 14 right out of the box. iQOO 12 5G will compete with other top-shelf phones including the OnePlus 12 and Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series in the coming days.
