We already have confirmation that iQOO will launch its performance-centric iQOO 13 smartphone in China later this month. According to a previous report by Smartprix, the India launch was tipped for December 5th.
However, the publication now claims in a new report that the launch has been moved up by two days, and the smartphone is now set to debut in India on December 3rd. The change allegedly is to “aim to compete with rivals.”
iQOO 13 Specifications
As for the specs, the iQOO 13 is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip and come with a sizable 6100mAh battery, supporting 100W PPS and PD charging.
Despite its large battery, the phone is said to be just 8.1mm thick (the same as the iQOO 12), thanks to the use of silicon-anode battery technology.
In terms of cameras, the iQOO 13 is rumored to have three 50MP sensors on the back: a Sony IMX921 as the main sensor, a Samsung ISOCELL JN1 for ultrawide shots, and an IMX826 for 2x telephoto zoom.
The phone also reportedly upgrades to a more power-efficient display panel, consuming 10% less power than the iQOO 12’s screen. It is also said to offer improved water and dust resistance with an IP68 rating, up from the IP64 rating of its predecessor. In terms of configuration, the iQOO 13 could provide up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
What’s confirmed is that iQOO has revealed the phone will feature BOE’s latest Q10 panel, delivering 2K resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. The Q10 display is also said to offer higher brightness, a longer lifespan, and lower color deviation compared to its competitors.
As for pricing, a previous report suggested that the iQOO 13 could start at around Rs 55,000 in India.
