iQOO’s upcoming flagship smartphone, the iQOO 13 series will possibly launch in the fourth quarter of this year. While there are not many details available about the devices yet, some early leaks have started to emerge.

Recently, a tipster known as Smart Pikachu shared details about the charging and battery capabilities of the iQOO 13 via a Weibo post.

According to this tipster, the iQOO 13 will feature a 6000mAh battery and support 120W charging. That will be a 1000mAh upgrade from last year’s iQOO 12 while the charging stays the same. 

Beyond these details, the leak doesn’t provide much else. However, in a previous leak, the same tipster revealed that the phone would be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC, which boasts custom Oryon CPU cores and an enhanced NPU for advanced AI capabilities.

The iQOO 13 is expected to come in standard and Pro variants. The standard model is rumored to have a 1.5K resolution with a flat display, while the Pro variant might feature a curved display with a higher 2K resolution. 

It aligns with the display setup of the iQOO 12 line, suggesting no major changes in this regard. The leak also suggests that both models could use displays sourced from Samsung and domestic Chinese display manufacturers, likely BOE.

Although there’s no specific mention of the launch timeframe for the iQOO 13 series in the leaks, it’s unlikely to debut before the expected release of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in October 2024. We will be sure to keep you updated on any new details about the smartphones.
