iQOO 13 Leaked: Thinner Design, Faster Display, But Charging Speed Takes a Hit
The iQOO 13, the highly anticipated successor to the iQOO 12, is generating a lot of buzz thanks to a series of leaks revealing its potential features. While some aspects seem promising, a recent leak from tipster Experience more on Weibo suggests a slight disappointment in the charging department.
Thinner, More Refined Design:
- Sleek and Stylish: The iQOO 13 is rumored to be thinner than its predecessor, possibly due to its C-angle chamfering, a design element also seen on other upcoming premium devices.
- IP68-Rated Build: Expect a more refined and durable build with IP68 water and dust resistance.
- Flat Edges: The iQOO 13 is said to have flat edges, similar to the design adopted by its predecessor in 2023.
High-Quality Display:
- Better than BOE X2: The iQOO 13 is rumored to have a display that surpasses the quality of the BOE X2 panel, possibly featuring a 144Hz refresh rate compared to the standard 120Hz.
- A Challenge to OnePlus: This puts the iQOO 13 in direct competition with the OnePlus 13, which is also expected to have a high-quality display.
Charging Speed: A Slight Setback
- 100W Fast Charging: While the iQOO 12 boasted 120W charging, the latest leak suggests the iQOO 13 might settle for 100W, similar to the OnePlus 13.
- USB-C vs. Type-A: Both iQOO and OnePlus might include a power brick with their top speed, but iQOO might offer a USB-C connector while OnePlus sticks with Type-A.
Other Leaked Features:
- USB 3.0: The iQOO 13 is rumored to finally upgrade to a USB 3.0 port, surpassing the USB 2.0 port found on the iQOO 12 Pro.
What to Expect:
While some aspects of the iQOO 13 are disappointing, such as the slower charging speed, its thin design, high-quality display, and other features make it a promising flagship contender. We'll be keeping a close eye on future leaks and official announcements to see what this upcoming device has in store.
