The verdict, up front

iQOO's most complete flagship.

iQOO 12 Pro rounded out the line into a true all-rounder — Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a triple camera with a 64 MP 3x periscope, a 3000-nit 2K 144Hz display and 120W/50W charging. The point where iQOO matched the best flagships on every axis, not just speed.
