iQOO 12 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to debut in India together: Here’s when
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will make its debut with the iQOO 12 in India.
The smartphone is rumoured to feature a 50-megapixel OmniVision OV50H.
It is also rumoured to be equipped with a 2K display with up to 144Hz refresh rate.
iQOO launched the iQOO 11 last year in India, which became the world’s fastest smartphone. Why? Because it was the first smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor in India. Apparently, that made it the “world’s fastest smartphone”, because no other smartphone had featured this power-loaded chipset in the country at that time. Well, this year as well, it is expected that iQOO 11’s successor iQOO 12 will also become the first smartphone to carry the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, which is expected to be launched this month only.
