iQOO 13 goes on sale in India
The iQOO 13, introduced in India last week, is now on open sale in Legend and Nardo Grey versions through iQOO's Indian website, Amazon.in, vivo's exclusive stores, and other offline retailers.
The iQOO 13 has two memory options in India - 12GB/256GB and 16GB/512GB, priced at INR54,999 ($650/€615) and INR59,999 ($710/€670), respectively. However, those purchasing the smartphone with HDFC or ICICI banks' debit or credit cards will get an instant discount of INR3,000 ($35/€33), which is also applicable to EMI transactions.
You'll get a discount of the same amount upon exchanging a non-vivo/iQOO smartphone, and if it's a vivo/iQOO device, you'll get an exchange bonus of INR5,000 ($60/€55).
The iQOO 13 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, runs Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15 out of the box, and comes with the promise of four years of Android OS upgrades and five years of security updates.
Other highlights of the iQOO 13 include a 6.82" 1,440p 144Hz LTPO AMOLED display, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, an IP69 rating, RGB lights, a 6,000 mAh battery (India only), and 120W charging. The iQOO 13 features a 32MP selfie camera on the front and three 50MP cameras (primary, telephoto, ultrawide) on the rear.
