The iQoo 13 is now officially lining up to debut outside China on December 3, 2024 - however, eagle-eyed Indian fans might have already spotted that the smartphone is not the exact same cutting-edge device initially introduced in October.
The 13's latest teasers tout it as having a "G.O.A.T." of a battery - however, it seems it is also the same as that of the last-gen 12 (as found on Amazon.in), with a marketed capacity of 6,000mAh rather than the more up-to-date 6,150mAh spec of the Chinese-market 13.
Then again, the 13 Global Edition retains the ability to use a "Super Fast" 120W charging brick (which comes in the box with the Chinese variant).
iQoo India indicates that the 13 will be sold in BMW-inspired Legend Edition white and Nardo Gray only, even though additional Isle of Man green and Track Edition black options are available elsewhere.
The device will still have its up-to-date IP68/69K-rated chassis adorned with the Snapdragon 8 Elite and iQoo's bleeding-edge 2K 144Hz Everest Display when it gets there - although there is no mention of UFS 4.1 support thus far.
