iQOO is preparing the iQOO 13 for the Chinese market. The device is expected to debut in November of this year in the country. This time around, the company is unlikely to launch a “Pro” variant alongside it. Hence, the iQOO 13 is expected to include features that were expected to be available on the cancelled Pro variant. Many details about the iQOO 13’s specifications have already been leaked by the rumor mill. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Bald is Panda, reveals important information about the design of the device. iQOO 13 may bring back light strip design, aiming to be high-performance gaming phone

According to the tipster, the upcoming iQOO 13 may feature a light strip on the back. To recall, iQOO previously offered a light-strip design on the first generation iQOO smartphone, which launched in 2019. The original design involved etching a light path approximately 1 mm deep into the glass back panel, allowing the light strip to shine through. This approach was quite striking at the time, with iQOO even incorporating additional light and shadow effects within the software to complement the light strip, enhancing its overall visual appeal.iQOO 13 may bring back light strip design, aiming to be high-performance gaming phone
iQOO eventually phased out the light strip on its smartphones. However, it now appears that the brand will reintroduce the light strip in the upcoming iQOO 13. This could indicate a return to the brand’s roots in high-performance, gaming-oriented smartphones. The iQOO 12 launched last year featured a squircle camera module. At present, there is no clarity on whether the company will offer the same design on the iQOO 13.

The iQOO 13 rumors suggest that it will have a flat OLED panel by BOE that offers a 2K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. Under the hood, the device may feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip and a 6,000mAh battery with 100W charging support.
Its rear-facing triple camera setup may include a 50-megapixel primary camera, an ultrawide lens, and a periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The device is also expected to feature an IP68-rated chassis, a metal middle frame, and a glass back.
