iQOO 12 Update Policy: Extended Software Support Until 2028
The iQOO 12 made its international debut in December 2023, featuring Funtouch OS 14 based on Android 14. Initially announced with a commitment to three years of Android upgrades and four years of security support, the smartphone’s Indian division recently revealed an unexpected extension to its software maintenance plan.
Enhanced Software Upgrade Offerings
With the newly established policy, iQOO has committed to providing a total of four years of Android version upgrades alongside five years of security patches. This update means users can anticipate Android upgrades for their flagship device through 2027, while security enhancements will extend until 2028.
A Commitment to Longevity and Security
“The updated upgrade cycle from iQOO underscores our commitment to user security, device longevity, and optimal performance,” stated an official spokesperson in a press release received earlier today. ”Our goal is to keep devices current, functioning well over time while providing users with lasting value through an uninterrupted experience.”
Aligning Support with Future Models
This new update policy aligns the software support timeline of the iQOO 12 with that of its successor model, the iQOO 13. Launched last year with promises mirroring those now given for the current model—with four years worth of Android updates and five years dedicated to security—it shows consistency in brand strategy.
A Step Forward towards Consumer Satisfaction
This proactive decision by iQOO is welcomed as it not only enhances the longevity potential for
the iQOO 12 but also positions it as a more appealing option amidst price reductions currently available in market offers.
