According to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the iQOO 12 series is now set to launch in early November in China, aligning with the Double Eleven (Nov. 11) sales event. On the other hand, the Vivo X100 series will debut shortly after Double Eleven.

Furthermore, in line with this information, another leaker expressed doubts about the Vivo X100 series launching in early November, suggesting that it could be challenging to align with the Double Eleven event. He added that the iQOO 12 series is primarily an online release and is expected to be available in time for Double Eleven, while the X100 series will come after this event. On a side note, the iQOO 12 (not the Pro variant) is also rumored to debut in the same month in India.

For those who don’t know, the iQOO 12 lineup includes two Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered devices, the iQOO 12 and 12 Pro. It is expected that Qualcomm will unveil the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 through its upcoming 2023 Snapdragon Summit event. It is also being said that Xiaomi will be the first brand to launch a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered smartphone. As per reports, the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro may go official on October 27.

On the other hand, the X100 lineup has two models, the Vivo X100 and X100 Pro. The Dimensity 9300 chip, which is expected to power these devices, is expected to debut in November. The X100 lineup also includes the Vivo X100 Pro+, which is said to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. It is likely that the Pro+ model may go official in the first quarter of 2024.
