iQOO 12 Won’t Include Hot Apps And Games
As per the information shared by iQOO India CEO Nipun Marya, the iQOO 12 will receive three years of Android software updates and four years of security patches. Additionally, the device won’t include any hot apps and games. For those unaware, the hot apps and games serve as an access point for apps and games. When the user taps on the app or a game, he is directed to Vivo’s app store, instead of the Google Play Store. These extensions can be hidden through the settings menu though. However, as confirmed by the company now, the upcoming iQOO 12 won’t include any bloatware such as hot apps and games.
