iQOO has confirmed it will launch the iQOO 13 smartphone in China by the end of October, though the exact date is still unknown. Global customers likely won’t have to wait long to get their hands on the device.
Nipun Marya, CEO of iQOO India, shared a teaser poster hinting at the iQOO 13 launch in the country. While the teaser doesn’t name the phone directly, the phrase “Ready for the next?” clearly gives it away that it’s referring to the iQOO 13.
A report earlier this week suggested the smartphone could launch in India on December 3rd.
iQOO 13 Specifications
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 reportedly boasts higher brightness, a longer lifespan, and lower color deviation compared to competitors.
Under the hood, the iQOO 13 will sport the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite paired with a self-developed gaming chip, the Q2, which supports PC-level 2K texture super-resolution and native 144FPS gaming. Memory options will include up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The phone also appeared on the Geekbench 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 (FunTouch OS 15 globally) 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.
Moreover, the battery department will be handled by a 6150mAh cell, which will support 120W fast 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. The iQOO 13 is expected to launch in India for around Rs 55,000.
