Leaks about the iQOO 13 have just begun to appear.
As if billed as the successor of the pretty rad iQOO 12 from last year, this one will shape up to be a proper powerhouse.
The rumour mill works day in and day out to let us enthusiasts know what to expect, so let’s dive right in.
iQOO 13: Display, Performance, and Durability
While early rumour mills hinted at this being a curved screen, the iQOO 13 seems to go for a flat OLED panel instead.
Let that not deter you, because this display will reportedly sport a crisp 2K resolution bump from the 1.5K AMOLED unit on the iQOO 12.
The leaks also indicate that the iQOO 13 will pack some real muscle.
It may well be fueled by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, which could easily prove to be an ultra-preferred chip for many flagship phones this upcoming year.
That is paired with up to 16GB of RAM and a whopping 1TB of storage, which should handle just about anything thrown at this phone.
For gamers, the iQOO 13 is said to feature an oversized x-axis linear motor for improved haptic feedback.
And if you’re anything like a klutz, you’ll be pleased to know that the phone might also rock an IP68 rating for enhanced water and dust resistance over its predecessor.
Battery and Camera Upgrades
The iQOO 13 is said to come with a pretty big 6,000mAh battery.
This would be an upgrade compared to the 5000mAh on the iQOO 12.
Now, on the charging front, we’re hearing rumours of 100W fast charging, but some even mention 120W.
There’s also 50W wireless charging, which will be a first for the iQOO series.
Other than that, as far as optics go, it is tipped that the iQOO 13 will sport a triple-camera setup with 50MP sensors all around.
This includes a main sensor, an ultrawide lens, and a 3x periscope telephoto camera.
No Pro Moniker Expected
Now, that could be an intriguing turn of events: there might not be a Pro variant this time.
It does look like iQOO is keen on throwing everything at this one basket: getting all these impressive features into the standard iQOO 13 model.
Slated to be released in November, tech enthusiasts are literally on the edge of their seats as the official confirmation for these specs is awaited.
Assuming these leaks are true, the iQOO 13 will most definitely be one stiff competitor at the smartphone front.
Keeping your eyes peeled for more news, this is one phone launch that will never disappoint.
