The iQOO 13 features a 6.7-inch 2K AMOLED flat display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The Q10 spec display has been made by BOE, especially for iQOO, and delivers an exceptional viewing experience, and efficiency. At its core, the iQOO 13 comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.
On the optics side, the iQOO 13 is expected to have a triple camera setup on the back with a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 50MP 2x telephoto sensor. There is a 32MP camera upfront for selfies and video calls.
