The upcoming iQOO Neo 12 is drawing attention ahead of its official launch in China after reportedly demonstrating sustained gaming performance at 185 frames per second (fps). The gaming-focused smartphone has shown stable frame rates during extended gameplay, according to performance tests shared by industry insiders.
Benchmarking results indicate that the device ran Call of Duty Mobile at high-definition graphics settings for more than an hour, achieving an average frame rate of 185.05fps.
