As of now, the exact details about the cooling system are still unclear. However, it’s being speculated in multiple media reports that the phone will have a larger vapour chamber (VC) cooling plate.

This will help keep temperatures down during heavy use and enhance the overall performance of the phone for longer periods.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Features in iQOO 13 (Rumours)

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is expected to bring several improvements including support for LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

Leaked block diagrams reveal that there will be two versions of the chip, each differing in CPU clock speed and cellular connectivity. However, it’s still unknown which variant will power the iQOO 13.

Early leaks also point to a 56% GPU performance boost over its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, while offering greater power efficiency thanks to TSMC’s 3nm process.

A previous exciting leak hinted that the iQOO 13 will likely get an upgrade to a 6150 mAh battery. If this happens, it will be a big jump from the 5000 mAh we got in the predecessor iQOO 12.

The battery is expected to use silicon-anode technology. Experts believe it would promise longer battery life and better overall performance.

Moreover, the iQOO 13 will sport a 6.7-inch 2K AMOLED display from BOE with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate for a high-quality viewing experience.
