The iQOO 13 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, built on a 3nm process, placing it alongside other flagship chipsets such as Apple's A18 Pro and the MediaTek Dimensity 9400.

The iQOO 13 will also feature the brand's Q2 chip.
In terms of memory, the Chinese variant comes with 12GB or 16GB of RAM. It is possible that India will get the same options. The Chinese model also offers up to 1TB storage with UFS 4.1, although it is still unclear whether this storage option will also be available in India.
When it comes to optics, the brand has confirmed that the iQOO 13 will have a triple camera setup. This includes a 50 MP main camera with a Sony IMX 921 sensor, a telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom and a 50 MP ultra-wide camera.

In terms of battery life, the smartphone is likely to come with a 6,000mAh battery that will support 120W fast charging. To keep temperatures low during intensive tasks, the device features a vapor chamber cooling system, ideal for long gaming sessions to ensure long-lasting performance.

And finally, for the display, the devices could get a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with support for 144 Hz, and a peak brightness of 6500 nits and 510 PPI (pixels per inch).
