As per your comments plz inform why all phone making company upgrading rear & front camera day by day? Do u think phone making company are idiots🤣🤣. So don't judge others by yourself or you choice🤣🤣..I think U needs sleeping pills for your mental health🙏🙏Thanks

      I've never used the front camera probably at all on the last four phones I've had. You must be so vain. Xiaomi just included 4k video on the front selfie because so many idiots complain so they thought it may as well have to be put in. I really don't know what planet you people come from.
      The disappointment for me is that these phones seem great and yet problem constant is that they are available globally. Perhaps someone could correct me on this...

        I have seen it's review on YouTube but i didn't find anytype of video stability...

          Masum2014, 30 Nov 2023U r right..The world is drawback...But with this price rate... moreiqoo 12 front camera has Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS)... which is ok ok, not as good as Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS).

          No phone in this segment gives OIS on front camera.. S23 series, Realme GT5, Vivo X100 Pro, all have only EIS on front cam.

          Only, iPhone 15 has OIS on front camera, but its too expensive. 3-4x price of iqoo 12.

              Hmm... 1080p30 with EIS... These are the specs for front camera for bot IQOO 11 and 12.
              Plus, if he meant OIS in rear camera, its also present in both iqoo 11 and 12.
              So, things are the same. Who gives OIS in selfie camera anyway?

                  This phone has two serious downgrade one is front camera video capable only 1080p & no video stabilizer. Im really disappointed...

                    Anon, 27 Nov 2023You not needing doesn't mean, no one would need it. That's true, but why say I don't suggest phones without such feature? Most people don't need it lol

                                User dependable but for brownsing chat calls messages etc you dont need 1300 eur device.

                                  And even i would they can give even 100 years of updates as long as you cant update hardware your phone is good for maybe 2-3 years then some and later most software wont keep up because of updated software but outdated hardware.

                                    As long as you cant update hardware updating software wont helps much later.

                                      That's not a RAM issue, it's a setting issue, you have to set your important apps to "Autostart" and 'High power consumption mode", I don't know why, but you have to and then there shouldn't be any issues with their midrange, or high-end phones. As for low-end, I'm not sure, but those type of phones always have issues anyways, no matter the brand.

                                      "unless if i have a vivo device with 12gb or 16gb, i would turn it off. "

                                      I have 12gb on my vivo X Note, and still have it turned off, it's the absolute worst feature on any phone, regardless of brand, it doesn't help with anything, but with it turned on, notifications usually don't come in.

                                        Just bought brand new Lenovo P2 for 70$ (2016 phone) to flash custom ROM and use it as main phone. Unfortunately, Lenovo got same problems, as xiaomi - 14 days timer to unlock bootloader. So now I stuck with Android 7. But it's still work. All messaging apps, banking apps, instagram, facebook etc. still supported by Android 7.
