iQOO’s flagship lineup for this year includes at least three models. While the brand is expected to announce the Dimensity 9500-powered iQOO Neo 11S (tentative name) next month in China, the home market is likely to receive the iQOO 16 and iQOO Neo 12 later this year. While the rumor mill has revealed several details about the iQOO 16, only the display and chipset details of the Neo 12 are known. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station, has seemingly revealed more information about the phone.

iQOO Neo 12 key specifications tipped

According to the leak, the alleged iQOO Neo 12 is currently being tested with a 6.83-inch flat display offering 2K resolution and a minimum 165Hz refresh rate. The company is also said to be evaluating an even higher 185Hz refresh rate for the panel.

The handset is said to be powered by last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and is also expected to feature a dedicated display chip for enhanced gaming and graphics performance. In terms of battery, the engineering prototype reportedly packs a battery with a capacity starting with the digit “9,” suggesting it could exceed 9,000mAh.

iQOO is also said to be testing an even larger battery option while retaining 100W fast charging support. Other expected features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner and a top-tier water resistance rating, although the exact IP certification has not yet been revealed.

Details about its cameras are not known yet. Considering that it is a performance-focused offering, it may feature a 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel dual-camera setup and a 16-megapixel front camera, similar to last year’s Neo 11.

While the tipster did not mention the launch timeframe in this leak, the launch is likely to be announced in October this year.
