iQOO 12 5G hot take: The best value on a flagship

Is iQOO the new OnePlus? Conversations like these have started to gather a lot of momentum over the last few years. And for good reason. This Vivo spin-off brand has literally taken upon itself to fill the gap left after OnePlus moved to service a higher price tier. Year after year, it’s become almost like second nature for iQOO to launch the first phone with Qualcomm’s greatest mobile processor, at least in India, and the song remains the same with its latest launch, the iQOO 12 5G.
