iQOO 12 to feature 1.5K display, a shift from the 2K in iQOO 11

According to Weibo tipster Lee Ang-aung, the iQOO 12 is set to introduce a noteworthy feature: a periscope-style telephoto camera, typically found in higher-end models due to their cost. If this happens, the iQOO 12 will be the first standard edition smartphone to include such a camera, marking a significant advancement. However, detailed information about the lens is yet to be revealed.

The tipster also suggests that iQOO 12 is changing its display strategy by moving from its predecessor’s 2K screen to a 1.5K resolution display. This adjustment aims to find a middle ground between display clarity and power efficiency. Although earlier suggestions from tipster Digital Chat Station hinted at a 2K display, recent information suggests that the iQOO 12 is more likely to feature a 1.5K resolution screen.

The iQOO 12 is rumored to be equipped with Qualcomm‘s upcoming flagship chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This chip, manufactured using the TSMC N4P process, features an octa-core configuration, with a focus on the Adreno 750 GPU and the new Cortex-X4 super core. These components are expected to deliver a 15% increase in performance.

Additionally, the device is expected to come with a 50MP primary camera, offer RAM options up to 16GB, and provide storage choices ranging from 512GB to 1TB. Its design may feature a flat screen and a distinctive frameless Deco design for its rear lens module. Regarding fast charging, there’s a debate between 100W and 200W capabilities, but considering the iQOO 11S already supports 200W, it’s likely that the iQOO 12 will match or exceed this charging speed.
