Value For Money
At the supplied Pakistan retailer price of 180K–200K PKR, the iQOO 12 16GB + 512GB offers an unusually strong hardware package for this comparison. Its 16GB RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage are superior in capacity to the Samsung and Infinix configurations, while its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 performance leads the available AnTuTu v11 comparison.
The Infinix GT 50 Pro at 160,000 PKR is the cheapest option by a significant margin. It provides 12GB + 256GB, a 144Hz AMOLED display, Dimensity 8400 Ultimate, 6500mAh battery, liquid cooling and gaming triggers. Its main compromises are the smaller 256GB storage capacity, weaker camera configuration and slower 45W wired charging.
The OPPO Reno15 Pro at 235,000 PKR is substantially more expensive than the iQOO 12, but its 12GB + 512GB configuration, 200MP main camera, 50MP telephoto, 6200mAh battery and 80W charging make it a much more camera-oriented package.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE at 235,000 PKR is also significantly more expensive than the iQOO 12 in the supplied retailer snapshot. Its strengths include Samsung’s software ecosystem, Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, wireless charging, IP-oriented flagship design and long-term software support, but the supplied 8GB + 256GB configuration is weaker on raw hardware capacity. Samsung’s official Pakistan store currently lists the 8GB + 256GB model at Rs. 249,999, so the user’s 235,000 PKR retailer price should remain treated as a snapshot rather than official MSRP.
Value winner: iQOO 12. It offers the strongest combination of performance, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage, 144Hz LTPO AMOLED and 120W charging at the supplied 180K–200K PKR price.
Best For / Not Best For
iQOO 12 — Best for performance, gaming and flagship hardware value
The iQOO 12 is best for users who want Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 performance, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage, 144Hz LTPO AMOLED, 120W charging and a dedicated periscope telephoto camera.
Not best for: users whose first priority is maximum battery capacity or the most camera-focused hardware.
Samsung Galaxy S26 FE — Best for Samsung ecosystem and balanced everyday use
The Galaxy S26 FE suits buyers who prioritize Samsung’s software ecosystem, Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz adaptive refresh, wireless charging and a versatile triple-camera setup. Samsung officially confirms the 8GB + 256GB configuration supplied for this comparison.
Not best for: buyers looking for maximum RAM, storage or charging speed per PKR.
OPPO Reno15 Pro — Best for camera-focused users
The Reno15 Pro is the strongest choice for camera hardware, portrait photography, selfie/vlogging features and battery capacity. Its 200MP OIS main camera, 50MP OIS telephoto and 50MP ultrawide selfie camera make it the most imaging-oriented phone here.
Not best for: buyers who prioritize flagship-level benchmark performance at the lowest price.
Infinix GT 50 Pro — Best for budget gaming
The GT 50 Pro is the specialist value gaming choice, offering Dimensity 8400 Ultimate, 144Hz AMOLED, 6500mAh battery, liquid cooling and gaming controls at the supplied 160K PKR price.
Not best for: users who need 512GB storage or a versatile telephoto camera.
Final Verdict
The iQOO 12 is the overall winner of this comparison because it provides the strongest combination of performance, memory capacity, display technology, charging speed and price.
Its 16GB + 512GB configuration is particularly important: it gives the iQOO 12 more physical RAM than every rival in the supplied variants and more storage than the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE and Infinix GT 50 Pro. Its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 also leads the available AnTuTu v11 averages.
The OPPO Reno15 Pro is the strongest specialist alternative. It loses the performance/value contest but clearly becomes more attractive for camera-focused buyers because of its 200MP OIS main camera, 50MP OIS telephoto and 50MP ultrawide.
The Infinix GT 50 Pro is the price champion. At the supplied 160,000 PKR, it costs substantially less than every other phone while still offering Dimensity 8400 Ultimate, 144Hz AMOLED, liquid cooling and a 6500mAh battery.
The Galaxy S26 FE is the most ecosystem-oriented option, but its supplied 8GB + 256GB configuration and higher price make it difficult to recommend as the best hardware value in this specific comparison.

| iQOO 12 | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 | 2,342,743 | 16GB + 512GB | 5000mAh | 180K–200K |
| Samsung Galaxy S26 FE | Exynos 2500 | 2,289,696 | 8GB + 256GB | 4900mAh | 235K |

| Infinix GT 50 Pro | Dimensity 8400 Ultimate | 2,137,843 | 12GB + 256GB | 6500mAh | 160K |
Against the iQOO 12’s 2,342,743 AnTuTu v11 average, the Galaxy S26 FE is 2.3% lower, Infinix GT 50 Pro is 8.7% lower, and OPPO Reno15 Pro is 12.2% lower. These are benchmark differences, not claims that the phones are exactly those percentages faster or slower in real-world use.
Regional note: the iQOO 12’s processor is unambiguous—Snapdragon 8 Gen 3—and the 16GB + 512GB configuration is officially listed. However, Pakistan retailer units can originate from different markets, so the exact imported unit’s firmware, warranty and regional network configuration should be verified separately rather than assumed.
