iQOO 12 Legend Edition Review
07.12.2023 - 05:13 / mmorpg.com
iQOO just released its latest flagship series with the iQOO 12 and 12 Pro . Both phones deliver impressive specs for the price, including Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processors, 12 to 16GB of memory, triple high resolution cameras with enhanced resolution and night mode shooting, and the ability to shoot up to 8K video. Today, we’re reviewing the iQOO 12 Legend Edition , a BMW-themed version of the standard version, and with a launch price that starts around $550, it’s a very solid value if your network supports it.
Design and Features
The iQOO 12 feels every bit the premium smartphone. I was surprised by just how premium it looked and felt taking it out of the box for the first time. I was sent the Legend Edition, which uses a porcelain enamel glass that feels exceptionally smooth beneath the fingers. The normal Alpha version, available in white, black, or red, uses a Flourite AG glass which the company claims gives it a subtle glow.
The glass-back design certainly makes it a bit slippery, but it balances this with a frame that’s 8.1mm thick: just enough to get a firm grip without feeling thick. Thankfully, iQOO also provides a clear silicone protective case in the box which offers much more grip. It’s not the thinnest flagship phone by any means, and I actually found the thickness reassuring for the aforementioned reason, but it’s worth noting that it has a millimeter or two on the thinnest phones out there.
The sides and ring around the camera bump are also trimmed in gleaming silver, which looks great, in my opinion. The design is a cross between a traditional large-screen Android and an iPhone Max and it works very well.
It features a large 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED display that gets very bright (3,000 nits!). There are two directional stereo speakers for gaming, though no headphone jack, and haptic motors and X-axis linear haptic motors, both of which iQOO promises benefit gaming. It delivers an immersive experience that’s rich in color and detail, though upgrading to the Pro model does new you a bump to QHD resolution. At this screen size, I usually turn the resolution to FHD+ anyways for extended battery life, but if that’s important to you, the Pro model may be the better choice.
The phone is available in 12GB or 16GB (LPDDR5X) variants with 256GB to 1TB of system storage. Each version uses the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, which is the latest and greatest in smartphones. It also features iQOO’s Supercomputing Q1 display processor, which enhances image sharpness and uses frame insertion to increase frame rates up to 144Hz. The phone also uses UFS 4.0 memory for exceptionally fast reads and writes. iQOO also promises a unique 6-zone cooling system to ensure frame rates stay high when gaming.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Review
Humans are horrible. You don’t need an allegory about the environment filled with blue aliens to tell you that. However, the joy of James Cameron’s Avatar isn’t in its humans, or the azure Na’vi, it’s in the vibrant, living world of Pandora. From the instant you start Frontiers of Pandora, it’s clear that Ubisoft has done an incredible job bringing this world to life, and while you bathe in the neon glow of its incredible wildlife, you’ll discover a people whose lives and culture you’ll want to protect.
