Chinese smartphone brand iQOO is set to launch its next flagship smartphone, the iQOO 13, in India soon. The company teased the India launch even before the phone was introduced in China and now has shared a post on social media platform X that confirms the timeline for the smartphone's launch in India.

As part of iQOO’s collaboration with BMW Motorsport, the iQOO 13 will be available in a Legend Edition with blue-black-red tricolour patterns. Interestingly, the iQOO 12, is also available in a similar colour variant. An Amazon microsite for the handset has also gone live.

Further, the company has teased the upcoming iQOO 13 with the Halo light feature. The provided microsite also confirms that the phone will get a 2K LTPO AMOLED display panel with up to 144Hz refresh rate and will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset paired alongside a Q2 gaming chipset.

The iQOO 13 Indian edition is expected to come with similar specifications to the Chinese variant, which was launched at the end of last month. The device has a 6.82-inch BOE Q10 flat screen with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. It ships with Android 15-based OriginOS 5. However, it is expected to arrive in India with the FuntouchOS 15 skin on top.

The handset packs a 6,150mAh battery with 120W wired fast charging support. It was launched at a starting price of CNY 3,999 (around Rs 47,000) and could be priced below Rs 60,000 in India for the base model.
