iQOO 12 Could Skip 200W Fast Charging in Favour of Larger Battery
Earlier this year, DCS tipped that the iQOO 12 Series will feature 200W wired fast charging. However, it looks like iQOO is shifting its priority to a larger battery capacity, and toning down the charging speeds.
The latest report from DCS suggests that the iQOO 12 Series will feature a larger 6000mAh battery with 100-120W fast charging. The battery capacity has reportedly increased by 800mAh, after removing 200W charging.
