iQOO‘s upcoming flagship series might see a significant shift in strategy. According to reliable tech tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the development of the iQOO 13 Pro variant appears to have been halted.
Digital Chat Station stated, “The development of the Pro project has been stopped, and the probability of it being dropped is 89.3746%.” This suggests a strong likelihood that the iQOO 13 Pro won’t be released alongside the standard iQOO 13.
However, it’s not all bad news for iQOO fans. The tipster also revealed, “The good news is that some specifications of the standard version have been epically enhanced.” That means the focus might have now shifted entirely to the iQOO 13, with its features receiving a substantial upgrade.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard rumors about the cancellation of the Pro model in the iQOO 13 series. The same tipster mentioned this in previous reports (1, 2), iterating that the Pro variant may not be released this year. We’ve also discussed the possible reasons behind discontinuing the Pro model in a separate report, which you can read here.
It remains to be seen exactly how much of a performance boost the standard model will receive, but the elimination of a Pro variant suggests iQOO is confident the base model can stand strong against the competition.
So far, the device is rumored to have a flat OLED display with 2K resolution. The screen will also have an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner for biometrics. Moreover, the device is said to offer up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of storage. It may house a 6,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging support. There is a possibility that the iQOO 13 may launch in November of this year.
