RM 3,399.00
Price last checked: 10 May 2025. Confirm current price before buying.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 sits at the core of this one, paired with 16GB RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, so there's headroom for gaming and heavy multitasking without much thought. The 6.78-inch AMOLED panel runs at 144Hz and hits up to 3000 nits peak brightness, which makes a real difference under direct sun. iQOO 12 price in Malaysia starts from RM3399.
The camera setup leans toward versatility rather than just megapixel count: a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 64MP periscope telephoto giving 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide. That telephoto module is unusual at this price point and worth noting if zoom shots matter to you.
Battery capacity is 5000mAh, backed by 120W wired charging, so a full charge shouldn't take long. Add IP64 splash resistance, Wi-Fi 7, NFC and an IR blaster, and it's a phone built for people who still want a few extras beyond the core specs.
