Editorial report
vivo iQOO 12 12 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The vivo iQOO 12 suits buyers looking for an advanced display, versatile cameras, and fast charging. Its 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display pairs a 144 Hz refresh rate with 3000 nits peak brightness; both figures are among the best of its time. The 1/1.28-inch sensor size is also among the largest, while 3x optical zoom is among the best offered by phones launched around the same time.
This configuration combines the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. Its AnTuTu result is among the best of its time. The main camera records video up to 8K at 30 fps and includes optical image stabilization, while the telephoto camera adds 3x optical zoom. The battery has a typical 5000 mAh capacity, but 120 W fast charging is among the highest figures for phones of its time. It also supports 10 W reverse wireless charging.
For connectivity, the iQOO 12 is among the best of its time, with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and dual SIM. This China configuration has no Google Services or direct OS updates, a significant limitation for anyone relying on those services or expecting updates directly through the phone. The model is sold in configurations ranging from 12 GB / 256 GB to 16 GB / 1 TB. Its 8.3 NeoScore places it among the best phones of its time, making it a particularly compelling choice for buyers who prioritize the display, photography, and fast charging.
