Should you buy the iQOO 12 and iQOO Z9?

iQOO 12

iQOO 12 is the first phone in the country to arrive with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, which is the current flagship chipset from Qualcomm. This suggests the performance will be a class apart and you won’t be facing any issues even with high-end gaming like Genshin Impact. We haven’t faced any excessive heating so there are no throttling issues as well. The cameras are also a good upgrade over the iQOO 11 and can click impressive images in good or low-light conditions.

Thanks to the deal, iQOO 12 is the cheapest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered phone, beating the Xiaomi 14, OnePlus 12 and others. This means there is no competitor to the iQOO 12 in the segment, making it a great buy at the discounted price. Our review said,

Our review points out that the iQOO 12 stands out as the fastest Android smartphone, courtesy of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The phone scores high in the display department, pretty loud speakers, great battery life coupled with fast-charging speeds, and impressive cameras. However, the only downgrade is the lack of wireless charging support.
