Rumors suggest that iQOO is reportedly working on the iQOO 12 series of smartphones for the Chinese market. It is speculated that the iQOO 12 and 12 Pro may debut in early November, aligning with their availability for the upcoming Nov. 11 (Double Eleven) shopping festival. Ahead of the expected launch, the rumor mill has already leaked the key specifications of both phones. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Panda is Bald, has revealed the color variants of the iQOO 12 series.

To recall, the iQOO 11 and 11 Pro were made available in the same colors, such as black, green, and white. The new leak suggests that the iQOO 12 and 12 Pro will also arrive in three colors, such as black, white, and red. Interestingly, there is a possibility that the white variant may feature a glass back, while the other two options could sport a leather-textured rear panel.

The iQOO 12 Pro is tipped to feature a 6.78-inch E7 AMOLED curve-edge display that offers a 2K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. On the rear, the iQOO 12 Pro might feature the same 50-megapixel main camera (OV50H, with OIS) and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera (JN1), but it’s expected to differentiate by incorporating a periscope zoom camera instead of a telephoto lens. The 12 Pro may arrive with a larger 5,200mAh battery, supporting both 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. It is said to feature an IP68-rated water and dust-resistant chassis and a metallic frame for durability.

The iQOO 12 series will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. It will arrive with up to 24 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and a capacious 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage. Both devices are said to have a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. The lineup is expected to run on OriginOS 4-based Android 14.
