Best Battery
iQOO 12 Pro
The Pixel 9’s 10.5MP ultrawide and Tensor G4 computational photography outperform the iQOO 12 Pro’s 16MP wide sensor in low-light detail and HDR accuracy, while the iQOO’s 5100mAh battery (120W wired, 50W wireless) crushes the Pixel’s 4912h endurance and 27W wired charging (15W wireless). Buy the Pixel 9 if you prioritize long-term software support—Android 16 upgrades over seven years versus iQOO’s two—and superior camera processing for consistent, natural results. Buy the iQOO 12 Pro if you demand ultra-fast charging (120W wired, 50W wireless), a sharper 1440p 144Hz LTPO display, and double the storage (512GB vs 128GB). In UAE at AED 2699 vs AED 2500, the iQOO 12 Pro is better because it offers 512GB storage and 120W charging for just AED 199 less. In India at ₹79999 vs ₹72999, the iQOO wins on value because it delivers triple the storage, 4.5x faster wired charging, and a higher-resolution display for ₹7000 less.
