iQOO has officially launched its latest and most anticipated flagship smartphone of the year – the iQOO 13, in India, delivering cutting-edge technology and premium design.

The iQOO 13 is the company’s latest flagship smartphone and is the successor to last year’s iQOO 12 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The iQOO 13 sports a 6.82-inch 2K+ curved BOE Q10 LTPO AMOLED display with (3168 x 1440 pixels) Quad HD+ resolution, a fast 144 Hz refresh rate, 20:9 aspect ratio, HDR10+, 10-bit color depth (1.07B colors), DCI-P3 color gamut, and 2,592 Hz PWM dimming. Built with BOE’s Q10 luminous material, the screen delivers up to 4,500 nits peak brightness.
The iQOO 13 is available in Nardo Grey with an AG Glass back and Legend Edition, featuring BMW’s iconic tri-color stripe. The device also features an aviation-grade aluminum middle frame and is IP68+IP69 rated for enhanced durability and protection.
The smartphone is powered by 3nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite octa-core SoC, paired with Adreno 830 GPU, up to 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM, and 512 GB UFS 4.1 storage for seamless multitasking and gaming. The phone integrates a Q2 self-developed chip, enabling PC-level 2K texture super-resolution, VAA anti-flicker technology, and a native 144 fps frame rate for immersive visuals. It also comes with a 7,000 mm² ultra-large VC vapor chamber that keeps the device cool during intensive use.
The smartphone is equipped with a 6,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery with 120W flash charging. The 120W ultra-fast charging can fully charge the device in just 30 minutes. It also includes 100W PPS charging for versatile compatibility but lacks wireless charging support.
