The iQOO 13, one of the most awaited smartphones for 2024, is all set to launch in India this December. Ahead of the official release, iQOO has started revealing key details about the Indian variant of the phone, including a slight difference in the battery size compared to the Chinese version. Here’s everything we know so far about the iQOO 13 India edition:
iQOO 13 India Battery Size
The iQOO 13 in India will launch with a 6,000mAh battery, which is slightly smaller than the 6,150mAh battery seen in the Chinese version. While this difference might lead to a marginally shorter battery life, it may not be very noticeable for most users, especially with the inclusion of 120W fast charging.
The Chinese variant, equipped with the same 120W fast charging, can be fully charged in just 30 minutes. With a slightly smaller battery, the Indian version may charge even faster, making up for the smaller capacity in terms of charging speed.
Key Features and Specs of iQOO 13 India Edition
- Design: The iQOO 13 will be available in two color options: Nardo Grey and Legend Edition. It features a Halo Ring around the rear camera panel, which not only adds to the aesthetics but also serves functional purposes, like showing notifications, alerts for calls, games, and music. The phone is slim, with a thickness of just 0.813 cm, and offers IP69 water and dust resistance.
- Processor: The iQOO 13 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is being marketed as the “fastest (mobile) processor ever.” The processor features a 2+6 architecture with new Oryon cores, capable of reaching a top clock speed of 4.3 GHz. This makes it an absolute powerhouse for gaming and multitasking.
- Display: The iQOO 13 comes with a 6.82-inch BOE Q10 AMOLED display, which supports a 144Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate for a smooth and responsive experience. It also boasts 144 FPS game frame interpolation for enhanced gaming visuals and 2K super-resolution for sharper and clearer picture quality. The display is powered by the Q2 chip for better performance and visual output.
- Storage and RAM: While specific RAM and storage configurations are still under wraps for the Indian variant, the Chinese version offers UFS 4.1 storage and is expected to feature the same for India, ensuring faster read/write speeds. Additionally, the phone may feature AI-driven color management and 2592Hz high-frequency PWM dimming for a more refined and smoother viewing experience.
Other Features Expected in the Indian Variant:
- Cameras: The iQOO 13 is expected to come with a 50 MP triple-camera setup on the rear and a 32 MP front-facing camera. The rear setup includes a main sensor, ultra-wide lens, and a depth sensor.
