iQoo 12 Anniversary Edition Confirmed to Launch in India Soon

The iQoo 12 is slated to launch in India in December 2023, a few weeks after its initial unveiling in China. The phone is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and packs a 5,000mAh battery with wired fast charging support. The handset runs Android 14-based UI and features a quad-HD AMOLED display. It features a triple rear camera unit with a periscope camera and is available in two RAM and storage configurations. Now, iQoo has confirmed that it will soon launch a special anniversary edition of the iQoo 12.

iQoo India CEO Nipun Marya announced the upcoming India launch of the iQoo 12 Anniversary Edition model in a post on X (formerly Twitter). In an open letter attached with the post, the company executive said that this is the first anniversary edition phone that iQoo will introduce in the country. This marks the completion of the company's four-year-old journey in India.

Neither the company nor the executive has confirmed any other details about the iQoo 12 Anniversary Edition. We don't know how it will differ from the regular iQoo 12 offering in the country. Like many special edition handsets, one thing that may differ is the color option and/or finish of the rear panel. It is being speculated that the upcoming variant may launch in red color similar to the Burning Way variant launched in China. However, since nothing is officially known, readers are advised to take this speculation with a grain of salt.
