Display

Displays on high-end smartphones have been consistently impressive in recent years. It is therefore unsurprising that the iQOO 12 has an exceptional display for all types of content.


It acquires an extraordinarily brilliant sheen. I would characterize it as extraordinary due to the fact that it is an exceptionally impressive exhibition, particularly for the class. This is a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel operating at 144 Hz, featuring a 1.5K resolution and 10-bit color.


It has several features implemented in the software side to enrich the user experience.
