We got our hands on one, so let&#8217;s see what it&#8217;s all about.<\/p>\n<p>The iQOO 12 Anniversary Edition comes in Desert Red color, but its retail package is the same as that of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/vivo_iqoo_12-12691.php\">iQOO 12<\/a>&#8216;s Legend and Alpha models. It includes a protective case, a SIM ejector tool, a charging cable, and a 120W power adapter.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/04\/iqoo-12-anniversary-edition-hands-on\/inline\/-1200w1\/gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"iQOO 12 Anniversary Edition hands-on\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The iQOO 12&#8217;s Legend and Alpha versions have glass back panels, while the Anniversary Edition has a faux leather finish. The latter gives the device a nicer in-hand feel, prevents fingerprint smudges, and helps with grip.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/04\/iqoo-12-anniversary-edition-hands-on\/inline\/-1200w1\/gsmarena_002.jpg\" alt=\"iQOO 12 Anniversary Edition hands-on\"\/><\/p>\n<p>iQOO says the iQOO 12 Anniversary Edition&#8217;s back cover is made with a new leather rubbing process, which &#8220;creates a unique wind-printed texture like a desert.&#8221; The iQOO logo on the rear now has a metallic effect and reflects light. It is also etched into the panel.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/04\/iqoo-12-anniversary-edition-hands-on\/inline\/-1200w1\/gsmarena_003.jpg\" alt=\"iQOO 12 Anniversary Edition hands-on\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The new finish has also made  the Anniversary Edition 5.2 g lighter than the regular version of the phone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image-row clearfix\">&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/24\/04\/iqoo-12-anniversary-edition-desert-red-official\/inline\/-1200x900m\/gsmarena_003.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"iQOO 12 Anniversary Edition\" width=\"206\" height=\"248\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/04\/iqoo-12-anniversary-edition-desert-red-official\/inline\/-x248\/gsmarena_003.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/24\/04\/iqoo-12-anniversary-edition-desert-red-official\/inline\/-1200x900m\/gsmarena_001.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"iQOO 12 Legend\" width=\"211\" height=\"248\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/04\/iqoo-12-anniversary-edition-desert-red-official\/inline\/-x248\/gsmarena_001.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/24\/04\/iqoo-12-anniversary-edition-desert-red-official\/inline\/-1200x900m\/gsmarena_002.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"iQOO 12 Alpha\" width=\"205\" height=\"248\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/04\/iqoo-12-anniversary-edition-desert-red-official\/inline\/-x248\/gsmarena_002.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<br \/><span><strong>iQOO 12 Anniversary Edition \u2022 iQOO 12 Legend \u2022 iQOO 12 Alpha<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Putting these differences aside, everything between the iQOO 12 Anniversary Edition and the Legend and Alpha models remains the same.
