We have received confirmation that iQOO is set to unveil its performance-driven iQOO 13 smartphone in China later this month. Earlier reports from Smartprix indicated that the launch in India was scheduled for December 5th.
Change in Launch Date
However, new information suggests that the launch date has been advanced by two days, meaning the iQOO 13 will now make its Indian debut on December 3rd. This adjustment is reportedly aimed at positioning the device more competitively against other brands.
iQOO 13 Specifications
Regarding specifications, the iQOO 13 is anticipated to come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor and a large 6100mAh battery, which supports 100W PPS and PD charging. Despite its substantial battery capacity, the phone is said to maintain a slim profile of just 8.1mm, similar to the iQOO 12, owing to the use of silicon-anode battery tech.
The iQOO 13 is rumored to feature three 50MP cameras on its rear: the main sensor being a Sony IMX921, an ultrawide Samsung ISOCELL JN1, and an IMX826 for 2x telephoto zoom capabilities.
Display and Durability
Furthermore, the smartphone is thought to enhance its display technology, boasting a more efficient panel that consumes 10% less power than the screen of the iQOO 12. It is also expected to have improved water and dust protection, with an IP68 rating that surpasses the IP64 rating of its predecessor. In terms of memory options, the iQOO 13 could potentially offer up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage.
What is confirmed is that iQOO has announced the phone will incorporate BOE's latest Q10 panel, which provides a 2K resolution and an impressive 144Hz refresh rate. The Q10 display is also claimed to deliver higher brightness levels, a longer lifespan, and reduced color deviation compared to competing models.
Pricing Details
As for the pricing, earlier reports have indicated that the iQOO 13 may start around Rs 55,000 in India.
