iQOO 12 price (leaked) 

As per the leaked Amazon listing (spotted by Sudhanshu Ambhore), iQOO 12 will be available in the following variants:

  • 12+256GB: Rs 52,999
  • 16+512GB: Rs 57,999

These prices corroborate a previous leak and are lower compared to the iQOO 11 pricing when it launched at the beginning of this year. However since this is yet to be confirmed by the brand, we suggest you take them with a pinch of salt.

The phone can be currently pre-booked from Amazon and iQOO.com till December 7th. The Rs 999 pre-booking pass will be adjusted with the price of the device. The early buyers will get Vivo TWS earbuds worth Rs 2,999.

You can also expect other tempting launch offers when the phone is finally unveiled.
