iQOO is gearing up to launch its latest flagship smartphone series, the iQOO 13 in the coming months.
The sub-brand under Vivo has been associated with strong specs at competitive pricing.
With the upcoming lineup, the brand intends to keep its position in the segment of affordable flagship smartphones.
However, according to a recent leak, it might be changing its strategy completely, as it seems the brand is going to scrap the ‘Pro’ variant altogether.
Up until now, there have been a total of two models released under each numbered flagship series, namely a standard model and an ‘enhanced’ version of the same in the form of a ‘Pro’ model, which comes with the best hardware available.
This time, around instead of separate standard and Pro variants, it looks like there is going to be only one iQOO 13 device.
iQOO 13: Flagship-Level Specs Leaked
While detailed specifications of the iQOO 13 were scarce at launch, a prominent leakster has now revealed some key information about the hardware features of this device.
There is speculation that the iQOO 13 will be running on Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset to ensure peak performance and efficiency.
As for the display, the leaked specs point to a stunning flat 2K OLED panel with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.
It leads to a very secure and seamless form of phone unlocking.
This falls in line with a recent focus on iQOO, which tries to bring an amazing multimedia experience to its users via high-resolution displays.
This smartphone is also expected to feature up to a huge 16GB of RAM and 1TB of onboard storage, so users can easily multitask and store a huge amount of data on their devices.
Not to worry, the battery is huge too, standing at 6,000mAh with 120W wired fast charging.
No ‘Pro’ This Time, But Still a Powerhouse
Usually, the ‘Pro’ model in the iQOO lineup represents a small or minor bump up in specs compared to the standard variant.
However, this time, the brand appears to have decided to keep its efforts consolidated into just one top-level one.
Dropping the ‘Pro’ variant is also in line with what iQOO has been doing for the past couple of years.
The Pro models have been kept within the Chinese market, while the other standards have been sent to global markets like India.
Now, with the iQOO 13, it does seem that the brand is going to want a device that is up to snuff with the best of them, yet at the same time being priced modestly against other flagship competitors.
If the leaked specs are anything to go by, the iQOO 13 just might.
