A third Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 smartphone is now official, the iQOO 12 Pro. This handset is immensely powerful all around. As many of you know, iQOO is Vivo’s sub-brand, and thus this phone comes with Funtouch OS on top of Android. To be more accurate, it includes Funtouch OS 14 on top of Android 14.
The iQOO 12 Pro has a curved display on the front, with a centered display camera hole. It has very thin bezels, and flat sides too. A large camera module is placed on the back, and centered on the top portion of the phone’s backplate. Three cameras are placed in it, more on that later.

This smartphone has a 6.78-inch QHD+ (3200 x 1440) LTPO AMOLED display. As already mentioned, it’s flat. This is a 144Hz panel, and it gets up to 3,000 nits of brightness at its peak. It also supports 1,440Hz PWM dimming.
Its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor is backed with 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM. You can choose between 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of UFS 4.0 flash storage here.
120W wired, and 50W wireless charging is supported
A 5,100mAh battery is included in the package, while 120W fast wired charging is supported. The phone also supports 50W wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging. Yes, a charger is included in the box.
