Launch Announcement

The iQOO 12's impending Indian debut was announced through a live microsite on Amazon, giving potential buyers a glimpse of the smartphone's back cover design inspired by BMW Motorsport.

Scheduled to become available for purchase on December 12, the microsite showcases the smartphone's tie-up with Amazon in India and the prowess of the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.

iQOO 12 Price

The series has already been introduced in the Chinese market, revealing the iQOO 12's starting price of CNY 3,999 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. 

Additional options include a 16GB+512GB storage model at CNY 4,299 and a high-end 16GB + 1TB version at CNY 4,699. 

The smartphone, featuring Black, White, and Red colour options in China, is anticipated to bring similar offerings to the Indian market.

Successor to iQOO 11

As a successor to the iQOO 11, which earlier entered the Indian market, the iQOO 12 promises to build on its predecessor's foundation. 

With the iQOO 11 initially released at a price of ₹59,999 in India, industry experts anticipate the iQOO 12's pricing to be competitive, mirroring its Chinese market pricing.
