The iQoo 12 was launched in India earlier this week as the country's first smartphone equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. The gamer-focused handset is likely to set customers' expectations for phones arriving with Qualcomm's top-of-the-line chip in the coming months. iQoo's previous flagship models have typically focused on performance, and while last year's iQoo 11 5G debuted with improved camera specifications, it also had a higher price tag than both its predecessor and the new iQoo 12.
