The iQOO Neo 11 was primarily targeted at people who want to do mobile gaming. Now, the iQOO Neo 12 is about to come soon. The rumours around the device have already started to surface online. The iQOO Neo 12 is expected to bring several upgrades to key components of the device.

The iQOO Neo 11 features a 6.82-inch AMOLED panel with 2K resolution support. Now, as per rumours and leaks, the iQOO Neo 12 could take it a notch ahead and feature support for 185Hz refresh rate.
