The wait is finally over! After the successful launch of iQOO 12 in India in December last year, Vivo is back with the launch of another device in the series with iQOO 13 on December 3, 2024. It seems the company has promised Indians to end the year with a banger too.
The smartphone includes some top-of-the-line features, such as the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a Q2 supercomputing chip, which are designed to improve gaming and the resolution display of the phone by supporting 2K resolution. It will feature a 6.78-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED screen, which will support a 144Hz refresh rate, making the phone a great option for fast gaming and watching videos. To add to the list of features, it also has an impressive brightness level, which can go up to 1800 nits.
The phone is not just grabbing the attention of gamers but photo enthusiasts too. It has a triple camera setup on the back, with three 50MP sensors. These provide a main camera, an ultra-wide camera with a 150-degree view, plus a telephoto lens for clear zooming. Additionally, the front camera with a 32MP sensor is perfect for high-quality selfies.
The smartphone features a 6150mAh battery, supporting 120W fast charging, which quickly charges your phone. And if you thought this is all you are going to get, then you are wrong, as the phone offers a whopping 1 TB of storage, allowing plenty of space for apps, photos, and videos.
Moreover, this device is water and dust-resistant. With its IP68/69 rating, your phone will be safe in water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of about 1.5 meters. So, your phone is safe from accidental spills, rain, or drops in water. The phone is built with Corning Gorilla Glass protection on both the front and back, which helps safeguard it against scratches and minor accidental falls. In addition, the phone has a metal frame, giving it a premium feel and a sturdy build, making it durable.
As with the other phones in the series, it also comes with a standard 1-year warranty. This warranty covers manufacturing defects, hardware malfunctions, and other issues that are not caused by mishandling. You will also get a 6-month warranty on accessories for your phone, which includes the charger and cable. On purchasing iQOO 13, you will get a 120W fast charger, USB Type-C cable, SIM ejector tool, a clear protective case, a user manual, and a warranty card. This standard phone box set ensures that you have everything for immediate use.
The phone will be available in two colors, Legend Edition White and Grey. These colors give the phone a polished, refined, and sophisticated look. The Legend Edition White version has a premium matte finish with a soft texture, while the Grey version has a minimalistic look with a polished finish.
The phone is expected to be priced around ₹55,000 to ₹65,000 for the base variant, which has 256GB of storage. The price could change according to storage capacity, which is up to 1 TB and RAM. You can buy it from Amazon India and iQOO’s official website. Shortly after its launch on December 3, 2024, the phone is expected to be available soon, both in offline retail stores and other online platforms.
