Some of these details have been tipped previously. Notably, the iQOO 12 was initially unveiled in China in November 2023 and launched in India in December of that year.
iQOO 13 Design (Expected)
The iQOO 13 could launch with a light-strip design, according to a Weibo post by tipster Panda is Bald (translated from Chinese). This design is expected to be similar to the first generation of iQOO smartphones where a vertical light strip was embedded about 1mm deep into the glass rear panel.
This appears to be a departure from the current iQOO 12 design, which sports a squircle rear camera module.
