The iQOO 13 is shedding its veil of secrecy, piece by piece. We recently saw its sleek design with a flat display and minimal bezels. Now, a leak from SmartPrix suggests it may launch in India on December 5th.
Although the leak doesn’t clarify whether this is the global launch date or if China will get it earlier, iQOO seems intent on not making its international customers wait long for its next flagship.
iQOO 13: What we know so far
Now, let’s unpack what we know so far.
Under the hood, the iQOO 13 will sport the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The phone also made its debut on the Geekbench with the same configuration and scored even higher than the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s overclocked 8 Elite chip.
Software-wise, we are expecting the Android 15-based OriginOS 5 operating system, which recently made its official debut.
For the cameras, it will likely have a triple 50MP setup on the rear — a main sensor, an ultrawide lens, and a telephoto lens.
But the real star of the show might be the display. iQOO has confirmed the iQOO 13 will boast BOE’s latest Q10 panel, promising a 2K resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. The Q10 display also reportedly boasts higher brightness, a longer lifespan, and lower color deviation compared to competitors.
Moreover, the battery department is said to be handled by a 6150mAh cell, which is rumored to support 100W PPS and PD charging. Leaks also suggest an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance and the phone may have a metal frame and a “Halo” light strip for added style.
As for pricing, a previous report suggested that the iQOO 13 could start at around Rs 55,000 in India.
