iQOO 13 India launch event: How to watch the livestream
The iQOO 13 launch event kicks off at 12 PM IST and will be streamed live on iQOO India’s official YouTube channel. Fans can expect in-depth details about the smartphone, including design, specifications, and pricing.
iQOO 13: What to expect
The iQOO 13 was first launched in China in late October, and while its Indian version retains many of the same specifications, there are some differences. For starters, Indian buyers will have access to two colour options: Nardo Gray and the Legend Edition. The Legend Edition is a result of iQOO’s ongoing collaboration with BMW M Motorsport, featuring a sleek white design inspired by racing aesthetics. The Nardo Gray variant draws inspiration from Italy’s racetracks, adding a unique, sporty vibe.
Another significant change lies in the battery capacity. The Indian variant of the iQOO 13 is equipped with a 6,000mAh battery, slightly smaller than the 6,150mAh battery in the Chinese model. The phone maintains its impressive 120W fast-charging capability, though.
Core features of the iQOO 13 remain consistent across markets. It boasts a 6.82-inch 2K LTPO OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1,800 nits. Under the hood, the smartphone runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and Android 15. It has a triple rear camera setup, led by a 50MP primary sensor. IP69 rating guarantees durability.
Expected to be priced around Rs 60,000, the iQOO 13 is poised to compete strongly in the flagship segment with the likes of Realme GT 7 Pro and upcoming OnePlus 13 due to release in India in January 2025.
