    iQOO 13: Slim 6,150mAh Battery & Fast Charging Features Revealed

    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.

  • iQOO Neo 10 Series Launch Date Revealed by Trusted Source

    iQOO Neo 10 Series Launch Date Revealed by Trusted Source

    While iQOO is preparing to unveil its flagship device, the iQOO 13, in China, whispers about the new iQOO Neo 10 series are becoming more pronounced.

    Specifications of the Neo 10 Series

    The lineup is expected to include two models: the iQOO Neo 10 and the Neo 10 Pro. Rumors suggest that the Neo 10 will sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, while the Neo 10 Pro might utilize the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset. Additionally, both models are anticipated to be equipped with larger batteries, likely exceeding 6000mAh.

    Launch Timing Details

    A trustworthy source has provided insight into when the new devices might be released. Digital Chat Station, a well-known leaker recognized for accurate information about forthcoming gadgets, recently shared the potential launch window on Weibo, a popular platform in China. In response to a question, the leaker indicated that the iQOO Neo 10 series is set to launch in November. This fits with the historical release schedule for the Neo series, which tends to debut in the year’s latter half. For example, the Neo 9 series was introduced in December of the previous year.

    Features and Competition

    The Neo 10 series is likely to showcase a 1.5K display on the front. It’s reasonable to assume that it will feature an AMOLED screen, given that the Neo 9 models already utilized one. Furthermore, both devices may come with a metal middle frame, run on Android 15 with OriginOS 5 layered on top, and support fast charging at 100W. The Neo 10 series will go head-to-head with the soon-to-be-released OnePlus Ace 5, Realme GT Neo 7, and the Redmi K80 lineup. Reports indicate that the K80 series may be unveiled in November, while the Ace 5 and Realme GT Neo 7 could also make their appearance in the same month or perhaps in December.

    For now, not much additional information is available about these phones. We will keep you posted as more details come to light.

  • iQOO 13 Price Increase Confirmed by Company Executive

    iQOO 13 Price Increase Confirmed by Company Executive

    The iQOO 13 is all set to debut on October 30 in China. Right now, iQOO is accepting pre-orders through both online and physical retail channels. The company has already revealed the design along with some key specifications of the iQOO 13. A recent leak indicated that the starting price for the base model will be 3,999 Yuan (approximately $560), suggesting no price increase compared to last year’s iQOO 12. Nevertheless, recent posts on Weibo by Galant V, who is the product manager for iQOO in China, imply that a price hike for the iQOO 13 might be unavoidable.

    iQOO 13’s Pricing Concerns

    As per the product manager, the production expenses for the iQOO 13 have surged by several hundred yuan, making a price increase unavoidable. In a recent discussion with users on Weibo, he mentioned that it’s now unrealistic to keep the price below 3,999 yuan due to these increased costs. He also pointed out that iQOO’s trade-in program, aimed at preserving device value, is restricted to exchanges within its own brand and likely won’t facilitate trade-ins for Vivo devices.

    Specifications and Features

    Reports suggest that the iQOO 13 will come with a 6.82-inch flat BOE display boasting 2K resolution and a refresh rate of 144Hz. For safety, it includes an in-screen fingerprint sensor. The device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Rumors suggest that the top variant may offer 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM along with 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage. In China, it will operate on Android 15 paired with OriginOS 5. It will also feature a robust 6,150mAh battery with 120W fast charging.

  • iQoo 13 Price Increase Confirmed for Snapdragon 8 Elite Model

    iQoo 13 Price Increase Confirmed for Snapdragon 8 Elite Model

    A number of Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship devices are expected to be launched this month, and one of those is the iQoo 13. The company has revealed several details about its upcoming flagship, but has yet to provide any specific information regarding pricing.

    Price Hikes Anticipated

    Before the announcement of the Snapdragon 8 Elite smartphones, there were rumors suggesting a price increase might occur. Recently, Lei Jun, the CEO of Xiaomi, confirmed that the newly announced Xiaomi 15 series will come at a higher cost compared to its predecessor. He explained that the rising prices of components and the funds spent on research and development are the main reasons behind this.

    iQoo 13 Pricing Insights

    Galant V, who is the product manager at iQoo, mentioned on Weibo that a price increase for the iQoo 13 is "inevitable." The official pointed out that production costs have surged by hundreds of yuans, making it hard to maintain the same pricing as the previous model. For context, the last flagship model debuted in China starting at CNY 3,999, which is roughly $561.

    While there hasn’t been any official statement regarding how much the price will rise, new flagship models are anticipated to begin at approximately CNY 4,500 (around $632) in China. However, it’s worth noting that not all Snapdragon 8 Elite flagships might see a price bump. According to a recent update from Digital Chat Station, a well-known tipster on Weibo, at least one next-generation flagship is expected to retain the previous generation’s pricing (for instance, the 12/256 GB RedMagic 9s Pro currently priced at $749 on Amazon).

    Clarification from Digital Chat Station

    When Digital Chat Station made this report, many users on Weibo speculated that the iQoo 13 would be the model maintaining the last-gen pricing. However, the tipster later clarified that he was referring to a different smartphone, causing some confusion among the users.
