What CompareTab says about POCO F9 Ultra vs iQOO 12
POCO F9 Ultra has the larger display than 12, with a 8050 mAh battery versus 5000 mAh and a 185 Hz display instead of 144 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (200 MP versus 50 MP), a higher-resolution front camera (32 MP versus 16 MP), and wireless charging. iQOO 12, however, is around $200 cheaper, lighter at 203.7 g versus 235 g, and thinner at 8.1 mm versus 8.74 mm and supports faster wired charging at 120 W versus 100 W. The main trade-off is F9 Ultra’s battery capacity, smoother display, higher-resolution cameras, and wireless charging versus 12’s lower price, faster charging, and lighter, thinner build.
