The lineup is expected to include two phones, the standard iQOO 13 and the iQOO 13 Pro. Both the phones will run on the next generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset However, last week a well-known tipster cast doubt on the existence of the Pro variant. And now he revealed the key features of the iQOO 13 phone and also hinted that the iQOO 13 Pro model will not be revealed.
Specifications of the iQOO 13 phone have been revealed
Tipster Digital Chat Station in its recent Weibo (Chinese micro-blogging platform) post mentioned the key features of an upcoming iCo flagship phone powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. The tipster is believed to be referring to the standard ICO 13 in the post.
An earlier source revealed that the iCo 13 phone's screen will support 1.5K resolution, while the iCo 13 Pro phone's display will offer 2K resolution. However, new reports suggest that the iCo 13 model will have an IP68-rated chassis. Also, it will have a flat OLED panel, which will support 2K resolution. An ultrasonic fingerprint scanner will be embedded in the screen.
When asked by the digital chat station if he was talking about the iQOO 13 and iQOO 13 Pro, he replied that if the mentioned specifications materialize, the Pro model will be dropped from the series. Incidentally, previous Pro models such as iQOO 12 Pro, iQOO 11 Pro, iQOO 10 Pro have not been launched in markets outside of China. Now it is believed that the iQOO 13 Pro will not be launched in China this year either.
The iQOO 13 is also rumored to offer up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. It may house a large 6,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging support. The iQOO 13 is likely to be launched in November this year.
