While we wait for the global debut of the iQOO 12 series, the company stated that Funtouch OS 14, based on Android 14, will eliminate the unwanted bloatware. The new version of the software was revealed a few months ago, along with a list of devices that are eligible for the update.
Anyone who has used Funtouch OS before knows that iQOO likes to provide a collection of “Hot Apps” and “Hot Games” with its devices right out of the box. There will be none of those with Funtouch OS 14 in the future. In other words, iQOO is removing the bloatware.
Furthermore, the iQOO 12 series will be eligible for three major OS updates and four years of security fixes, according to the manufacturer. A respectable commitment, though not quite on pace with Samsung, OnePlus, or Google, which have even longer support.
Big News! iQOO is removing bloatware like Hot Apps/Hot Games from the FuntouchOS 14 based on Android 14 for the iQOO 12.
Further, the brand is promising 3 years of OS & 4 years of security updates for this device. Hoping other brands follow. #iQOO12 pic.twitter.com/DYE3fMc467

In any case, it’s a step in the right direction, so we’re not complaining. After all, iQOO is still developing a name for itself, and once it has more money, it will most certainly redirect part of its efforts to keeping its phones up to current for a longer period of time.
Here are some of the key features of the iQOO 12:
- It’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is one of the most powerful processors available for smartphones. This means that the iQOO 12 can handle even the most demanding tasks, such as gaming and video editing, with ease.
- The iQOO 12 features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels. This display is incredibly sharp and vibrant, and it has a 144Hz refresh rate, which means that it is very smooth and responsive.
- Rear camera: 50-megapixel + 64-megapixel + 50-megapixel.
- Front camera: 16-megapixel.
- The battery is a 5000mAh, which is a good size for a flagship phone. It also supports 120W HyperCharge fast charging, so you can quickly top up your battery when it’s low on power.
