With an innovative RGB ring light, the brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, and a 6,150 mAh battery with 120-watt fast charging, the iQOO 13 is set to receive a whole host of upgrades. Photos and teaser images confirm many of the expected upgrades in advance.

Just a few days ago, the first images of the iQOO 13 appeared, showing the square camera module with RGB ring light. The new picture now also shows the front with a flat display, particularly narrow screen edges, and punch-hole front camera.

The antenna bands indicate that the frame is made of metal. Vivo has already confirmed the initial details of the smartphone's features. Accordingly, the iQOO 13 is one of the first smartphones to be equipped with the brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite alongside the OnePlus 13 and the Honor Magic7. Combined with a large heatsink and special tuning, the flagship chip in the iQOO 13 is expected to achieve great performance even under continuous load.


The Vivo iQOO 13 has a 6.82-inch, 144 Hz OLED display with 2K resolution, and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, that is invisibly integrated into the panel. The BOE Q10 OLED display is expected to be particularly bright and also energy-saving, ensuring a comparatively long runtime in conjunction with the large 6,150 mAh battery. The battery can be charged with up to 120 watts via a USB-C cable.

The iQOO 13 comes with OriginOS 5 based on Android 15 and should also impress with powerful speakers and a precise rumble motor. It is not yet known when the iQOO 13 will be officially unveiled, and details on the price, memory, and cameras are not yet known. The iQOO 12 also lacks wireless charging and a water-resistant casing, so it remains to be seen whether the iQOO 13 will improve in these areas.
