Discover The ‘Monster Inside’ in iQOO 12
As one of the very first smartphones to feature the industry-leading Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, iQOO 12 harnesses the performance advantages of a new processor architecture manufactured using the latest 4mm technology. Coupled with a custom Supercomputing Chip Q1 that further enhances in-game performance, fast memory, and lightning quick flash storage, iQOO stands unopposed in terms of gaming prowess.
The Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform by Qualcomm introduces a balanced octa-core design, comprising a prime Cortex-X4 core, five Cortex-A720 performance cores, and two Cortex-A520 efficiency cores. This innovative architecture ensures groundbreaking performance and power efficiency. The Adreno 750 GPU ensures dominant gaming, while 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS4.0 flash storage provide seamless app loading and ample space for the latest mobile games.
High-Performance Graphite Battery With 120w Flashcharge And Power-Efficiency Features
Performance and power are as important as having a sufficient battery life. iQOO 12 is powered by a Pro-Performance Graphite Battery equivalent to 5000 mAh(TYP) that supports 120W FlashCharge. Graphite battery technology offers significantly improved energy density compared to traditional battery solutions. A feature unique to iQOO 12, users will appreciate having a high performance battery that is 9% larger in capacity compared to the previous generation, without having to compromise on slim design. Power saving features include Battery Saver Mode and 0% Battery Instant Startup.
Visually Enhanced Gaming With Supercomputing Chip Q1
Packed with the latest flagship-grade mobile processor, memory, and storage, iQOO debuts Supercomputing Chip Q1, a customised display chip that offers Game Super Resolution, Game Super Frame Rate and Game Display Enhancement – features that radically enhance the mobile gaming experience.
With a single touch, users can enhance their gaming experience with Game Super Resolution, improving image contrast and clarity by sharpening graphical characters. Activate Game Super Frame Rate for mobile gaming at an impressive 144 frames per second (FPS), surpassing the typical frame rate caps and using frame interpolation to ensure smooth gameplay, matching the native 144Hz display refresh rate and minimising tearing and stuttering in demanding games. A great example of these enhancements is the ability to play top-tier games like Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, PUBG New State, and League of Legends Mobile at 144 FPS.
Game Display Enhancement optimises graphics quality by reconstructing images with sharper details, and includes General Filters that enhance gameplay. Filters include dark-scene enhancement which allows gamers to better identify the enemy in dark scenes such as tunnels or night-time battles. Game Super Touch Control gives gamers better accuracy and touch response, preventing unwanted slips and accidental edge touching, while improving accuracy when perspiration becomes an issue.
Pure Gaming Immersion
iQOO 12 meets the demands of today’s mobile gamers with a 6.78-inch, 144Hz AMOLED LTPO display featuring 1.5K resolution, 452 PPI pixel density, and HDR10+ support. The display boasts a remarkable 80,00,000:1 contrast ratio and reaches 3,000 units of local peak brightness. With 105% NTSC colour gamut and 100% DCI-P3 accuracy, it ensures precise colour reproduction. The viewing experience is further enhanced with high-frequency 2,160Hz PWM dimming and low blue light eye protection.
iQOO 12 uses an LTPO AMOLED display that can dynamically switch between high and low refresh rates. This lowers power consumption by reducing refresh rates when a static image is displayed, while allowing refresh rates to be pushed to the maximum to provide the ultimate viewing experience when watching movies or playing games.
iQOO 12 delivers an immersive gaming experience with its precise Large X-Axis Linear Motor for haptic feedback and Symmetrical Dual Stereo Speakers, enhancing directional cues in first-person shooter (FPS) games. The audio quality is exceptional, featuring clear instrument separation and improved bass frequencies through a spacious 1.2cc speaker chamber. To ensure comfort during extended gaming, the device incorporates a Four-Zone Cooling System, including a 6K Vapour Chamber for efficient CPU heat dissipation, a Low Temperature Sensitivity design, and an Under-Display Graphite Cooling Film to minimise hot spots and maintain a cool grip.
A Window To The World: Porthole Triple Cameras
The iQOO 12 boasts a triple rear camera system with a Porthole Design, inspired by a sense of exploration. It features a powerful 50MP Astrography Camera with VCS2.0 biomimetic spectral technology for superior colour reproduction, the camera excels in low light. Utilising four-in-one pixel binning technology for an effective pixel size of 2.4µm, it offers impressive performance. Video recording includes 8K@30 FPS, 4K@30/60 FPS, and 720p,1080p video at up to 240 FPS for stunning slow-motion shots, with OIS and EIS stabilisation support for sharp photography. The setup also includes a Periscope Telephoto Camera and Wide-Angle Camera for a versatile imaging experience.
iQOO 12’s Periscope Telephoto Camera offers Ultra-Long Zoom with a 64MP (f/2.57) 1/2” sensor, 3X Optical Zoom, and 10X Zoom. It achieves an impressive 100X Digital Zoom using the N.I.C.E. (Neural Image Computational Engine) algorithm for noise cancellation and detail enhancement. The phone also features the Ultra HD Document 3.0 algorithm for clear screen presentations in collaboration with the telephoto lens. Additionally, for wide-angle shots, the dedicated 50MP (f/2.0) 1/2.76” sensor Wide-Angle Camera supports various wide-angle photography modes.
