The iQOO 13 brings some much-needed upgrades ranging from a high-resolution display, secure fingerprint sensor, larger battery, and much more. While we do not have any pricing information, we expect the iQOO 13 to start at around Rs 55,000 in the Indian market.
iQOO 13 Details
The iQOO 13 is said to sport a 6.7-inch 2K AMOLED flat display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The display is said to have been made by BOE, especially for iQOO, and delivers an exceptional viewing experience. At its heart, the iQOO 13 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. Given the recent Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Geekbench leaked scores, it’s safe to assume the phone will be scoring 3 Million+ points on the AnTuTu v10 benchmark.
On the optics side, the iQOO 13 will pack a triple camera setup on the rear: a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 50MP 2x telephoto sensor. A dedicated 32MP camera will handle selfies on the phone. This setup is a bit different from the one on iQOO 12 which had a 50MP primary camera, a 64MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultra-wide lens.
