The iQOO 13, recently unveiled in China, brings powerful upgrades with the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a substantial 6,150mAh battery, ideal for intensive users and mobile gamers. The device also features a 6.82-inch 2K LTPO display developed by BOE, with an impressive 144Hz refresh rate and peak brightness levels reaching 1800 nits. To enhance the user experience, the display incorporates high-frequency PWM dimming, which reduces eye strain, making it easier to use for extended periods. The Q2 display chip boosts the gaming experience further, allowing frame rate interpolation up to 144fps for smoother visuals in supported games.
Camera capabilities are a major focus on the iQOO 13, which sports a versatile triple 50MP setup. This includes a primary Sony IMX 981 sensor (1/1.56”) with optical image stabilization (OIS) for sharp, stable shots, a 2x telephoto lens (1/2.93”), and an ultra-wide lens (1/2.76”). Adding a unique touch, the iQOO 13 features an RGB ring around the rear camera, which can illuminate in various colors to notify users of alerts, sync with music, or even display victory notifications in specific games. This distinctive feature combines functionality with a playful visual appeal, setting the device apart from conventional smartphones.
In terms of design, the iQOO 13 keeps the familiar look of its predecessor, with only subtle refinements. It’s available in four color options: Legend White, Track Black, Nardo Grey, and Isle of Man Green, providing choices that range from classic to bold. The device also maintains a slim profile despite housing a large battery, making it practical for daily use without compromising aesthetics. The body dimensions and materials have been optimized for durability and style, ensuring it appeals to users who appreciate both performance and design.
The iQOO 13 is currently open for pre-orders in China, with sales beginning on November 10. Pricing starts at CNY 3,999 for the base model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and goes up to CNY 5,199 for the top-tier version with 16GB RAM and 1TB of storage. This competitive pricing structure positions the iQOO 13 as an appealing option in the premium smartphone market, especially for users looking for top-tier performance, unique design elements, and advanced gaming features.
