iQOO 12 5G (Legend, 16GB RAM, 512GB Storage)

I recently caught wind of iQOO's latest flagship release, the iQOO 12, and after extensive research, I took the plunge and purchased this device just two days ago. Let me share my experience with you.First and foremost, the camera setup on the iQOO 12 is nothing short of remarkable. Boasting a triple camera configuration of 50+50+64MP, the pictures captured are not only vivid but also showcase a unique and distinctive style that sets it apart from other iQOO models. Even compared to my sister's more expensive phone, the iQOO 12 outshines with its superior camera quality. I am genuinely delighted and satisfied with the camera performance.The design of the iQOO 12 is another standout feature. The metal sides give it a premium feel, and the device's grip is both comfortable and secure. The impressive build quality is evident, making it a pleasure to hold and use.The user interface is clean and intuitive, contributing to an overall positive user experience. Navigating through the device is a breeze, adding to my satisfaction with the iQOO 12.In terms of battery life, I am pleased with the performance so far. Although the charging time is approximately 25 minutes for a full charge, the endurance of the battery makes it bearable, as I don't find myself needing to charge frequently. A small trade-off for extended usage.Gaming on the iQOO 12 is a delight. I tried Call of Duty, and the smooth touch response, fast loading times, and immersive vibrations on kills left me thoroughly impressed. The device delivers a seamless gaming experience that enhances the overall satisfaction of owning this flagship phone.Overall, I consider the iQOO 12 a great purchase, especially for those looking for an exceptional gaming, multimedia, and camera experience within a budget of 50k. While there might be some software experience quirks, the device's performance in gaming, multimedia consumption, and photography make it a worthy investment that won't leave you disappointed. If you're in the market for a feature-packed smartphone, the iQOO 12 is a solid choice 💯😊😊

The media could not be loaded. It's been 5m since I bought this phone had a great experience, switched from iqoo neo 6 and this upgrade is worth it if you want best performance and overall good camera, the photos are really good as it's vivo's sub brand so the image pipeline is really good just vibrant on some occasions but you will not be disappointed. And the video quality is the one which surprised me the most it's actually really not iPhone level but up there, really good video zoom just use pro mode if you want to pull out the most details keep it around 500 ISO AND EVERYTHING AUTO, video in night auto mode is good but it does have some grains in it. Battery life if good if you play bgmi, you will probably get 6 hours I play with smooth 90fps and 4x anti aliasing and don't use frame interpolation there is slight delay in gyro but does make it smoother but not recommended. Battery is good few games and camera ussage will probably get you 6+ hours and light usage will get 8 hours +. Charging takes 35 min to full charge. I haven't updated my phone since July, if you're in July patch then don't update that's the best update I've had and tested for performance and camera quality and would not recommend updating your phone as all other companies it might slow down if you want to update then look it up first then decide if you want update the software but wouldn't recommend only if the banking or other apps need the latest firmware the you need to update or you can go to the service centre and ask them to downgrade. ( I hope vivo and iqoo bring custom rom support because that would be great to have like poco and oneplus ).Pros* Good camera for the price could be bit better in video.* One of the best gaming phones does heat up but in a controlled way and cools down pretty fast.* Really Fast charging speed ( does heat a bit nothing to bother or just open settings - battery - charging and disable fast charging it will slightly slow down charging speed but it will decrease phone's surface temp ).* Good display very bright overall really goodscreen.* Very good after sale service ( disclaimer had experience with previous phone iqoo Neo 6 regarding screen replacement bit pricey but really good experience and very fast.Cons* Mediocre Selfie camera my old IQoo Neo 6 had better selfie's than this paid 55k for a phone and no 4k Selfie video front is the biggest downside of this phone.* UI is good very reliable but not as good as other Android Skins ( Just updated to android 15 did make a way better and smoother but could be better).* And audio transmitter has kinda bad the output is not upto to the mark with bluetooh specifically had same problem with my Neo 6 my poco f1 had really good audio Dec on board than this two new phones.Overall - 4.4/5This is rating is based on my experience, and also to point out I'm very heavy user, so the fact that it is able to keep up with demands is actually very commendable, And a brief disclaimer I am a long term iqoo user been using iqoo brand since 2022 but overall the phone is really good and has impressed me. That's the reason I'm taking my time and giving a review here.Quick updateAnd BTW regarding updating your phone I still stand by NOT UPDATING YOUR PHONE, but I have updated to android 15 I did reasearch thoroughly and decided update because there were a lot improvement and I don't plan on updating after this update ( So the phone is on android 15 Nov security patch ).
