Here's my review of the iQOO 12 5G after using it extensively for the past week.

iQOO is known for offering performance phones that provide great value for money. Now, they are changing things up with the new iQOO 12 5G.

Let's begin -

Design
- The design is more mature and in league with other flagships.
- The BMW M sports branding at the bottom is a neat touch.
- Steel flat sides look premium but easily pickup smudges.
- Enamel glass on the back is a mix between glossy & matte. It's one of the best implementations on a phone.
- Rear camera module is BIG!! Has that knurled finish metal ring for the regal feel.
- The only downside is the sheer size, a curved panel would have made things better.

Display
- Excellent display quality, with the 144Hz RR which can go down to 1Hz.
- Outdoors visibility is great & colors are on point.
- Panel is ideal for watching HDR content, & playing games with that 2,160Hz PWM.
- Good stereo speaker system with on-point sound separation, gets loud enough to fill a small room.

Software
- The experience is more refined with Android 14-based Funtouch OS 14.
- UI is clean with modern touches, with limited Material You elements.
- Although some apps were removed this time, you can still find bloatware.
- Aside from that, Funtouch OS 14 gets you enough options to customize the UX like other custom skins on the market.

Performance
- You get the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 here, which is an excellent performer.
- There are no complaints on the performance side.
- The phone glides through all the stuff thrown at it.
- Even under intense stress it doesn't heat up which cannot be said for the competitors.
- It's got rock-solid gaming performance and the Q1 chip further smoothens things out.
- Battery is just too good, got 7 hours of SOT with mixed-use.
- 120W charger tops up the battery in under 30 mins

Camera
- This is yet another area where the iQOO 12 shines.
- Brilliant camera performance on all 3 lenses.
- The camera UI is clean & simple to use.
- It's got the new Vivo color science that comes close to the Zeiss camera experience seen on Vivo's flagship X series phones.
- This time there are three new photo style options, Vivid, Textured, and Natural. I found the Vivid mode suitable for most scenarios.
- The Natural mode stands out for better handling of foliage, preferred for more realistic shots.
- Wide angle lens captures excellent photos, though there is still room for improvement.
- The 3x telephoto lens adds versatility, particularly excelling in portrait shots.
- Selfie game on the phone is a little weak though

Verdict
This is the phone to get if you want top-notch performance, excellent battery life, and solid cameras, all for just ₹53,000 (under ₹50k with all the discounts).

That said, there are some downsides to consider. Firstly, it lacks wireless charging and Gorilla glass protection. Additionally, it only offers 3 years of OS updates compared to the 5+ years provided by other flagship phones.

Bottom line, iQOO has delivered a polished product that caters to all, not just avid gamers. The cherry on top is the crazy good price.

Will be interesting to see how the OnePlus 12 is priced now.

Here's your first look at the OnePlus Open (with the camera module visible :p)

Crease is much better compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Also they are very comparing the camera with Galaxy S23 Ultra

The phone comes with a color matched case within the box.

Despite the many takes already out, here's my take on the Xiaomi 13 Pro. I didn't get to use the phone extensively, but the Leica magic brought back memories, with the identical color science and photos as prior partnership. with the flaws and the same artistic appearance.

[Yogesh Brar @heyitsyogesh]

When Leica from the Past meets the Leica from the Future

Guess the two Leica phones :p
