The iQOO 13 is ready to launch on October 30 in China. Leading up to the event, there is a lot of excitement surrounding this flagship phone, which combines a sleek design, a large battery, and super-fast charging features.
Battery and Charging Features
The iQOO 13 manages to fit a robust 6150mAh battery into its slim 7.99mm body. This is made possible by using advanced third-generation silicon anode materials, boosting the battery capacity by 23 percent compared to the previous model. Additionally, it employs state-of-the-art semi-solid low-temperature battery tech, guaranteeing excellent performance even in very cold conditions.
To enhance battery efficiency during heavy tasks such as streaming high-definition videos or using GPS, the iQOO 13 utilizes a novel high-efficiency cache architecture. This new system optimizes how the SoC (System on a Chip) operates, significantly improving power management and prolonging battery life.
Display Innovations
iQOO has announced that the iQOO 13 features a remarkable 6.82-inch 2K flat display with a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels. It’s the first to incorporate the BOE Q10 luminescent device, which includes an 8T LTPO circuit design. Created in partnership with BOE, this display supports a 2592Hz refresh rate at full brightness and provides a DC-like dimming feature to enhance eye comfort.
Moreover, the iQOO 13 introduces circularly polarized light eye protection technology. This innovative approach uses multiple layers of special film to convert the screen's light output into a circularly polarized state, resembling natural light. This hardware-level solution offers real eye protection by imitating natural light properties, effectively creating what can be called a “natural light screen.”
Performance and Camera
On the performance side, the iQOO 13 is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and can go up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM along with 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. It also includes an in-house Q2 gaming chip to boost gaming performance. The phone is rumored to have a 32-megapixel front camera and a triple camera setup on the back, each with 50 megapixels. It will ship with OriginOS 5 based on Android 15. There are indications that the iQOO 13 will be available worldwide during the first week of December.
