iQOO Neo 12

Not out yet. Here is when we think it lands, and exactly why we think so.

We will keep this on your list as the date moves.

Reveal

The day it is shown to the world

Rough idea · Somewhere in this season

22 October 2026

in about 2 weeks

Almost certainly between 6 October and 10 December 2026 — that is where eight out of ten of our guesses land.

Where it will almost certainly land Still possible, but unlikelyThe higher the shape, the more likely that date.

Where we started When vivo usually launches No pattern for this model yet, so we started from the time of year vivo normally picks.

Reports behind it 1 separate story Found across 2 articles. When several sites repeat the same leak, we count it once — otherwise one rumour would look like proof.

Since last time 2 days later Last changed on 5 Oct 2026. We recheck every day, and only write a new forecast down when this answer moves.

What changed our mind

Digital Chat Station · picked up by GizmoChina
Called a rumour Heard it from someone else

Says revealed sometime between September and October 2026

“By the end of September or early October, iQOO may unveil two new flagship phones in China.” Read it ↗

Decent track record +1 site repeated it Moved our date 263 days earlier

Digital Chat Station usually calls things later than they happen, so we pulled this 9 days earlier before believing it.

Numbers, for the curious

The 80% range runs 6 Oct 2026 to 10 Dec 2026 (65 days wide), with a standard deviation of 45 days. Starting model: manufacturer_seasonal+coupled (reveal and on-sale dates were solved together, so neither can end up before the other).

What the hardware is

6 of 20 headline specs known so far. Values from a spec database describe a phone that exists; values from articles are what sources claim about one that does not yet. Each row says which it is, and where sources contradict each other we print both figures rather than choosing.

Where you will be able to buy it

Likely one region first Based on how this product line usually launches

This line usually starts in one market and travels later, if it travels at all.

only China reported so far.

Country or region	When	Price	How it was put	Who says so
China	sometime between September and October 2026	not known yet	Called a rumour	1 source across 2 reports, they disagree quite a bit

These are the places that have actually been mentioned in reports about this phone. A country missing from this list has not been ruled out — nobody writing about an unreleased phone lists the countries it is skipping, so we cannot tell either way.

How this date has moved

Every time we changed our mind, we wrote it down and never touched it again.
