The iQOO 10 Pro, introduced in 2022 in China, was the first smartphone globally to feature 200W fast charging. Its successor, the iQOO 11 Pro, also boasted 200W fast charging support. Nevertheless, there are indications from reports about the upcoming iQOO 12 Pro that it will have reduced fast charging capabilities, with a 120W charging speed—still rapid but not as swift as 200W. A recent leak indicates that Vivo and its sub-brand iQOO might not offer 200W fast charging in their upcoming smartphones. Instead, they appear to be concentrating on augmenting the battery capacity.
Vivo has reportedly shelved 200W fast charging tech
As per information from the tipster Digital Chat Station, Vivo has decided to put its 200W fast charging project on hold. Instead, the company is now preparing to introduce a 120W/100W fast charging system alongside a substantial battery of around 6,000mAh. He also mentioned that they will be incorporating specialized high-density batteries.
Recent reports have already disclosed details about the battery size and charging capabilities of the iQOO 12 and 12 Pro. From the available information, it appears that the above leak does not pertain to the iQOO 12 series but rather some other forthcoming Vivo or iQOO smartphones.
It is speculated that the iQOO 12 will house a 5,000mAh battery, whereas the 12 Pro will be backed by a 5,100mAh battery. Both devices are expected to support 120W fast charging, but the 50W wireless charging will only be available on the 12 Pro. Both models are expected to feature a 144Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and 50-megapixel triple rear cameras. The iQOO 12 series is likely to debut on Nov. 7 in China.
