iQOO 13 launch on December 3: Top 13 features of the India variant confirmed

 

iQOO 13 is set to launch in India on December 13. Ahead of the grand reveal, iQOO, a Vivo spin-off, has confirmed the top 13 features of the flagship smartphone. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite is a definitely the biggest draw. But that is not the only highlight of this phone.

The iQOO 13 boasts a “sporty” premium glass and metal design, a high-quality AMOLED display which can refresh at up to 144Hz per second, and 120W fast charging. We previously reported that the iQOO 13 India variant is different from the model sold in China in two ways. Today’s full spec reveal confirms those are the only two changes that iQOO is making for the Indian market. The rest of the package remains as is, mostly.
