The iQOO 12 series made its initial debut in China in early November. The lineup consists of two models, namely iQOO 12 and iQOO 12 Pro. Just like previous generations, the pro version will remain exclusive to the brand’s home country.

Last week, the vanilla iQOO 12 was announced in Southeast Asia. Today, the device has made its way to India as scheduled.

The iQOO 12 for India and other markets is one and the same phone. The only difference is its pricing across different regions.
