It is expected to launch the iQOO 13 in China by the end of this month, offering power through the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip. Now, a new report has hinted the company could launch it in India as early as December this year. Of course, like the iQOO 12, it should be available in many Southeast Asian markets. As the iQOO 13 global launch nears, we are seeing its international version listed in an IMEI database with a model number.

The Upcoming iQOO 13

The Chinese variant of the iQOO 13 will be called V2408, while the international version that has an IMEI listing in China goes by model I2401. While the listing has not shared any details regarding the phone. This is everything we know about the iQOO 13 a few weeks after their recent leaks.

Based on the previous exposure information, iQ00 13 may be equipped with a flat BOE Q1 display with a size of approximately 6.78 inches and a resolution of 2K with a 144Hz refresh rate. The most likely processor is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, paired with 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and a huge 6,100mAh battery that supports quick charging via either a 120W wired or a 50W wireless setup. In China, the device might get 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage, while in the international market may be limited to just 512 GB.

For selfies, the iQOO 13 might feature a 16-megapixel front camera. On the back, it is rumored to feature a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 main camera with OIS, a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel IMX826 telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom. It will likely run Android 15 with OriginOS 5 on top.

Additional features could include dual speakers, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, and an IR blaster. In terms of design, the iQOO 13 may come with a metal middle frame, a halo light strip on the back, and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. It is expected to be priced around ₹55,000 in India.

FAQs

It is believed that the iQOO 13 will launch in China soon and then later in India by December according to reports. Although there have been multiple leaks pertaining to the device now it has appeared on both 3C and MIIT certification sites revealing some of its key specifications. The iQOO 13, for example, has just been listed on the 3C certification site with model number V2408A and will indeed support up to 100W wired fast charging which is a little odd since the iQOO 12 also offered 120W fast charging.

The Upcoming iQOO 13

Likewise, the same model number also visited the MIIT certification site. iQOO 13 will be a dual-SIM phone with support for 5G if the listing is to be believed. It may run Android 14. Yet, neither the certification site directly refers to the name of the phone. As for its display, the device is expected to feature a 6.7-inch 2K AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, similar to its predecessor but with a BOE-made screen.

Powering the device will most probably be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, an upgrade over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 present in the iQOO 12. The device will also support up to 16GB RAM and 512GB internal storage, the same as the iQOO 12. In terms of cameras, the device is rumored to have a 50MP Sony IMX921 main camera, replacing the 50MP Omnivision OV50H sensor found in the iQOO 12.

It is expected to retain the same 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 ultrawide lens, while the telephoto lens is set to be a 50MP Sony IMX826 with 2x zoom, replacing the 64MP 3x OmniVision sensor from its predecessor. The 3C listing also points to the device featuring 100W fast charging support. However, the device may house a larger 6,150mAh battery, an upgrade from the 5,000mAh battery found in the iQOO 12.
