iQOO 13 Debuts Best BOE 2K Display of the Year
Rumors are circulating that the iQOO 13 will be officially announced in November in China. This release will mark it as one of the initial smartphones to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset in the Chinese market. It is anticipated that the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro, which are likely to be launched by the end of October, will be the first devices globally to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. Unlike the Xiaomi 15 series, which is heavily focused on camera capabilities, the iQOO 13 is expected to be a performance-centric flagship device. A recent leak from tipster Digital Chat Station provides key insights into the iQOO 13’s display specifications. Here’s what we know about the phone’s screen.
Custom Flat BOE Screen for iQOO 13
China-based BOE hosted the Global Innovation Partner Conference 2024, unveiling its upcoming flagship display technology. According to the tipster, the majority of initial phones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will likely incorporate BOE displays.
Reports indicate that the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro will come with displays supporting 1.5K and 2K resolutions and will feature micro-quad-curved screens. In contrast, the iQOO 13 will sport a custom-made flat display from BOE.
BOE X2 Display Technology
A recent report mentioned that the OnePlus 13 will include the BOE X2 micro-quad-curved display. Digital Chat Station clarified that the BOE X is a specially customized display line designed for companies like OnePlus, Oppo, and Realme, under the Ouga group. Therefore, the display for the iQOO 13 will not carry the “X” branding.
The flat BOE display on the iQOO 13 is expected to support a 2K resolution and is built using advanced light-emitting materials. Testers claim that it embodies next-generation technology and is deemed the best BOE display developed this year.

iQOO 13 to Reintroduce Light Strip, Targets Gaming Performance
iQOO is gearing up to introduce the iQOO 13 to the Chinese market, with its launch anticipated for November this year. Unlike previous releases, the company is not expected to unveil a "Pro" version alongside it. As a result, iQOO 13 is likely to incorporate features that were meant for the canceled Pro model. Numerous details about the iQOO 13’s specs have already surfaced through various leaks. A fresh leak from tipster Bald is Panda provides intriguing insights into the device’s design.
iQOO 13 May Feature a Light Strip Design
The tipster suggests that the upcoming iQOO 13 might boast a light strip on its back. This design element was first introduced by iQOO in its inaugural smartphone back in 2019. The original design involved crafting a light pathway about 1 mm deep into the glass back panel, enabling the light strip to be visible. This unique approach was quite captivating, with iQOO adding additional light and shadow effects via software to enhance the light strip’s visual impact.
Although iQOO eventually discontinued the light strip in its smartphones, it seems the brand plans to bring it back with the iQOO 13. This could signal a return to the brand’s roots in producing high-performance, gaming-focused smartphones. The iQOO 12, released last year, featured a squircle camera module. Currently, there is no confirmation if the iQOO 13 will adopt a similar design.
Rumored Specifications of iQOO 13
Speculation around the iQOO 13 suggests it will include a flat OLED panel made by BOE, offering a 2K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. The device is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip and equipped with a 6,000mAh battery supported by 100W fast charging.
The rear camera array is rumored to consist of a 50-megapixel main camera, an ultrawide lens, and a periscope telephoto camera offering 3x optical zoom. Additionally, the device is anticipated to have an IP68-rated chassis, a metal middle frame, and a glass back.
