Will the iQOO 13 launch at the same price as the iQOO 12? New leak gives big clue

iQOO has confirmed that its latest flagship smartphone, iQOO 13 with Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset will launch in China on October 30. Meanwhile, most of the other specifications of the smartphone including its display, battery, charging and more have also been revealed by the company. But the main question that remains to be answered is whether the iQOO 13’s introduction of the new Qualcomm chipset will lead to a price hike on the smartphone and with the latest leak, we might have an answer to that question.

iQOO 13 price:

According to a post by tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the iQOO 13 will cost 3,999 yuan in China. Notably, the iQOO 12 had also started at a price of 3,999 Yuan in China while it was launched at a price of 52,999 in India and went all the way up to 57,999 for the top-end variant.

If the leak turns out to be true, it would signal that the iQOO 13 could be one of the only Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered smartphones not to receive a price hike. The Xiaomi 15 and OnePlus 13 (both powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite) are said to get a price hike from their predecessors.

iQOO 13 specifications:

Vivo vice president Jia Jingdong recently confirmed the long-running rumor that the iQOO 13 would house a massive 6,150mAh battery and support 120W ultra-fast charging. Additionally, Jingdong also said that despite having a significantly larger battery than the iQOO 12’s 5,000mAh, the iQOO 13 will still be “extremely thin and light.”

In addition to being powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the iQOO 13 will also include a 7K ultra-large area VC cooling chamber to ensure that the Snapdragon chip underneath maintains “cool energy under high loads.”

The Vivo sub-brand also confirmed that the iQOO 13 will come with a proprietary e-sports Q2 gaming chip, which Jingdong stated will provide PC-level 2K texture super resolution and native-level 144 FPS super frame rates.

An interesting feature of the iQOO 13 will be the presence of OLED circular polarized light eye protection technology, which iQOO claims will be the first of its kind. This technology is said to mimic the effect of natural light on the eye, helping to prevent eye fatigue during long periods of phone use.
