This is the best value smartphone that gets the basics right without breaking the bank. Don't think you need anymore flagship features than this seeing how it covers everything that you need for Pixel 8 level price.
Please do a full camera comparison with Iqoo 12 vs Vivo x100 Pro. I really want to see how much weaker Napa actually is than Vegeta! (Rooting for Napa here)
Hey there! I loved your lg V series reviews and I've enjoyed how in depth you go without making it boring. You have been goto reviewer for flagships eversince! Keep it up brother
Very good video, Ben. I hope your review of the Vivo X100 Pro shows a comparison between that phone's cameras and those of the Vivo X90 Pro - would be good to see what changed, whether it's significantly better or just marginally better.
My friend just sold his s23 and ordered one and Boi oo Boi the camera is way tooooo deep, what....!! I never knew Chinese phone 📱 would reach this level of producing such quality pictures, it's like digital camera pic
Hi Ben, great review! How's the picture or video AI editor of iQoo? Is it at par with google pixel pro 8 editor? The Xiaomi 13T pro already has some good AI editor tools.
My first Vivo was the X60 pro+. But I ordered it on Giztop. Since I live in the EU, I had to pay tax, but I can tell you that it was worth it. The Vivo X series has no competition when it comes to photography.
I bought x60 and continued to x70, but not x80 ( now only USD 390 - 475 bnib ) and no x90 too ( not released here ). Because the phone market in 2022 - 2023 are crowded with good phones. But now I bought iqoo 12 😂🎉
As always a great video. I have one question have you had chance yo compare in poor mobilr reception areas. The pro iqoo models aleays have outstanding connection quality compared to othet phones. I wondered if the base model does too. If so it makes it the best phone for people who live with poor reception. I was impressed by the video it seemrd to focus the human subjects faces quicker.
It would be a great option if released in the US or Europe, although it would probably cost nearer £900 if you include taxes and import costs. Still, that is very reasonable. But I would still pay the extra for an SD8G3 S24+ between the two.
Interesting phone for sure. I’m curious about Meizu 21, a Qualcomm 8 gen 3 phone with interesting design, features and cameras for an even more tempting price. Is there a chance you will test that too ?
Ben meizu 21 just released has a snapdragon gen 3 fir 450 us dollar, you should check it out. 200mp camera also with interesting rgb notification on the flash!
OMGG I am soo into that filter filter too!! Would look great to post on my IG 🤩🤩 I hope the price will be reasonable in my country... It doesn't have an IP rating tho, right?
Excellent video.I'm honestly very surprised by this phone,as to it's capabilities, and then factoring the price.It's insane.But I definitely will be waiting for you to review the soon-to-come Vivo x100 pro.I'm curious on that phone, particularly the cameras.
Ben, which phone comes the closest to a DSLM in videoquality? (Natural skin tones, natural processing) I have to ask you because most UA-camrs do not cover Chinese phones. Which phone you to take if you could not use your Sony? (Android)
where to buy this in SG? since I can not find in Amazon SG. And there are a lot in Lazada, but I am not sure if they are iQoo global versions or Chinese distributions.
Clarification on the OS. From my understanding Funtouch OS is global ROM. Origin OS is China ROM. If we go with origin OS, will google timeline still work with the device? I have seen reviews stating that China Rom will not allow google timeline to work. Thanks
Wow $670? That may be a better value than even the Google Pixel! Which was already a pretty good value especially before they raised the price this year
Yeah this is a real awesome flagship killer. Im super exited to see how they price it here in the UK, if its cheaper than the OnePlus 12 i think it'll sell really well. Phone looks awesome
Ben is a cat person! That's why I like him! Interesting review. This looks like good value. I can recommend Shargeek chargers and batteries. Weird name [to me] but great products.
Pretty impressive! If in Europe that was the price of the phone, it would sell like any other phone before. It would be a smack in the face of Samsung and Apple, selling phone at double price. All flagship phones shouldn't cost more than 700€/$. But when people buy phones at the prices the companies want, there's nothing we can do.
All Flagships shouldn't cost more than $700 😂😂 your comment is So funny. Unfortunately the world doesn't work like that. You'll have to pay premium price for premium devices unless you wanna complain and speak to their Ceo 😅
@@therepearblack3552 imagine if people didn't buy phones costing 1,000$. CEOs would ask themselves a question. Unfotunately people buy phones no matter the prices. Nowadays a midrange phone costs like a premium phone of 4 years ago. The fault is of the people who buy the phones at such prices, no question asked. Clearly people can do whatever they want with their money, but if we didn't buy at such prices, the prices would fall, if they wanted to sell.
Hey Ben. I have been thinking of upgrading from a Note 20 ultra to a top spec Chinese flagship phone. What worries me is that all Google services and a Android for that matter are only supported and available till 2025. Any phone of 2023 will not update anything after 2025. Probably all users have to adopt Huawei's Harmony OS after that. What say you?
Origin OS may be good, but large part of it is exclusivly in chinese, and some options might be used only in mainland china, which is masive downside. I have VivoX70Pro+ and sometimes it's annoying im restricted by chiese options only which i cant understand. Phone is great, camera really impresive, but if they would sell global version of their top tier flagship it would be awsome. I would definetly buy X100Pro+, but with chinese software i may just choose Pixel for more convinience
Dude... that dragon balls analogy blowed me away back to when I didnt know the plans of the parasites to kill the majority of humans and enslave the rest =)(
Very good video as usual. I was on my way to buy the xiaomi 13t pro but this phone is making me confused now. Which of them is better value for money? Please help me make a choice The iQoo is so beautiful and premiumly built.
This is the best value smartphone that gets the basics right without breaking the bank. Don't think you need anymore flagship features than this seeing how it covers everything that you need for Pixel 8 level price.
Pixel8 is $250 more than this official price in my country
I'd wait for nxtyear for it to sell for $399 like pixel 7
Dude! Those shots from Japan look so good!
The cameras is good, Japan is photogenic. A win.

Great Video Ben. Which camera you prefer more iQOO 12 or Xiaomi 14 Pro?
I think Xiaomi 14 pro but very very close
The movies and cartoons explanation 😂❤ love it!
It's always a nice surprise to open UA-cam and see a new video, Ben, thanks for the great review!

Great Review👌
Send it to South Africa♥️
The phone and camera look great! I love that filter too. Very Fuji Film Esque 😍 Keep up the amazing work 👏 🎉

I'm very excited for my x100 Pro to arrive. I've been obsessed with vivo's flagship cameras for a few years now since the x80 pro
Actually the camera on vivo phones have been so incredibly good since the x60
My first Vivo was the X60 pro+. But I ordered it on Giztop. Since I live in the EU, I had to pay tax, but I can tell you that it was worth it. The Vivo X series has no competition when it comes to photography.

Which types of screen protection they r using?? Iqoo
The Camera is amazing on this phone. Definitely a twin brother of vivo x100 pro with more affordable prices and same Hardware 🔥❤️

between iqoo 12 and nubia z60 ultra which one will i for ben please respond nice review 👍
A very good value for the money.
Thank you so much for the review, Ben.
I'll be waiting for the review of Vivo x100 pro.
Interesting phone for sure. I’m curious about Meizu 21, a Qualcomm 8 gen 3 phone with interesting design, features and cameras for an even more tempting price. Is there a chance you will test that too ?
Please share the link to buy
Hoping that after the official global launch tomorrow that I can order one to be shipped here in the US
Can't wait for Ben's take on the Vivo X100 Pro....it's the king of flagship phones according to many
I agree, Vivo x100 pro currently is the king of flagships. Unless. Someone is an idiot not to see it.
Have you tried video uaing mcpro24fps on that phone? If not, will you?
Ben meizu 21 just released has a snapdragon gen 3 fir 450 us dollar, you should check it out. 200mp camera also with interesting rgb notification on the flash!
I can't see the difference from the iphone while capturing video. Can you please make low light examples?

Iqoo 12 or vanilla vivo x100 for vintage film style portraits, which one do i get
Great price for a phone that powerful..... wonder how much importing cost will be
Unfortunately I had to send the Vivo IQOO 12 pro back, the app notifications were very irregular
Ben, which phone comes the closest to a DSLM in videoquality? (Natural skin tones, natural processing)
I have to ask you because most UA-camrs do not cover Chinese phones.
Which phone you to take if you could not use your Sony?
(Android)
Xiaomi 13 ultra
@@bensgadgetreviewsXiaomi 13 Ultra for me is the best cameraphone to date for Main camera photos quality. And main camera 50 MP mode photos.
@@bensgadgetreviews Thank you buddy. Your are great. You videos feel like a friend is talking to me. Love it.
That video quality vs iPhone is really good 😮
Great value phone that covers all the basics really well. Bravo to IQOO
6:17 what movies?
Chungking express
I get it "Wong Kar-wai"
What's the longevity of software and security support?
That's the question that most of these reviewers don't talk
Iqoo 12 vs iphone 13 which is the best for photography? Specially in portrait and natural photography...!
Bro please , there is global rom for vivo x100 ? Thank you ❤
Question will the iqoo 12 pro also have a global version
That's a great review for a great phone. I am waiting for oneplus 12 global. Just confused between curved and a flat display. ❤
where to buy this in SG? since I can not find in Amazon SG. And there are a lot in Lazada, but I am not sure if they are iQoo global versions or Chinese distributions.

Funtouch OS is global ROM.

Yay! Lalisa is back! How apt since BP is back together again too!
But no stabilization in front facing camera and stuck on 1080 60fps
Where to buy global version?
great review
Which one should I buy? The Realme GT 5 Pro or iQOO 12? Thanks.
Hey Ben
with increasing ram and battery capacity, are chinese smartphone manufacturers still killing apps running in the background
beeeen, where is x100 pro????????? feels like decades waiting for your camera review on it and some comparison
Didn't know iQoo 12's international version is out already!
I think this time the black look nicer haha. Still waiting for my Vivo X100P to come.
2024...X100 Ultra...... but you will have x100 pro soon...but I'll wait for the x100 ultra with the 200mp zoom
Please make a camera comparison between IQOO 12 and x100 pro. 0lease like if you wanna see it. Great video. Thx
Yeah this is a real awesome flagship killer. Im super exited to see how they price it here in the UK, if its cheaper than the OnePlus 12 i think it'll sell really well. Phone looks awesome
dragonball analogy is really spot on for me, !!!

Can you test Motioncam pro ? Its shoot ProRes log video on android ( early alpha version)
Toggle switch too small and there is no way to adjust it to larger toggle.

What can you say about using iqoo with origin os outside china? What's the experience like
it's fine, it's good. I like originOS alot.
Should I get china or the interntional Version??@@bensgadgetreviews
I wish Vivo offered their phones in the US. Their phones beat Samsung easily. Does the global version support Android Auto?
What display protection does it have. No one is talking about it. Does it have gorilla glass
À very Very good phone. Thank you so much to share this with us 💋
