Both smartphones are expected to arrive in India in early 2024. I am comparing these upcoming flagships based on leaks as well as official announcements. Check out.
Speaking of iQOO 12’s design, the brand has already confirmed the smartphone, revealing the design and launch on November 7 in China. The design of iQOO 12 might be completely different from iQOO 11. The poster revealed the Red and White colours of the iQOO 12. Further, the camera module is rumoured to be square-shaped with curved edges. Cutting to the chase, the smartphone looks stunning in these leaked posters.
Moving to the OnePlus 12, this smartphone was showcased in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit 2023. However, the brand kept the smartphone in a big case that hid the design but revealed the front camera at the centre and an ‘Alert Slider’. But leaks on the internet are suggesting a similar design as its predecessor. We still have to wait for a few days to see how the OnePlus 12 will look.
