iQOO 12 live image

The alleged live image of the iQOO 12 that surfaced on Weibo suggests the company is finally going for a design change.
The flagship can be seen in White colour but there could be other options at launch. The back panel appears to have a glossy finish.
The iQOO 12 appears to have a large square-shaped module on the back and this could house camera sensors and an LED flash.
Tipster DigitalChatStation on Weibo claims the arrangement of cameras within the square module will be similar to iQOO 11.
The iQOO 12 has a silver chassis and this could be aluminium for durability.
The volume rocker and power buttons are on the right edge.

Self-Developed chipset

Besides the main processor, the iQOO 12 is tipped to come with a separate self-developed chip and this will be for improved gaming experience. The iQOO 11 also came with an integrated Vivo V2 chip that is designed to enhance the gaming and imaging experience. But recent leaks from China suggest the brand might be taking a different approach.

The new dedicated chip will improve the gaming experience and will have no involvement in photography.
