iQOO
13
—
the
upcoming
flagship
smartphone
from
the
Vivo
subsidiary
—
could
be
launched
in
India
by
the
end
of
the
year,
according
to
details
shared
by
a
tipster.
It
is
expected
to
be
unveiled
in
China
next
month,
as
one
of
the
first
handsets
to
be
equipped
with
Qualcomm’s
next-generation
chipset.
The
iQOO
13
has
also
surfaced
on
benchmarking
website
Geekbench,
with
the
purported
Snapdragon
8
Gen
4
SoC,
that
is
expected
to
be
unveiled
later
this
month,
giving
us
an
idea
of
what
to
expect
from
the
upcoming
handset.
iQOO
13
Could
Launch
in
India
in
December
A
Smartprix
report
citing
tipster
Yogesh
Brar
claims
that
the
iQOO
13
will
be
launched
in
India
on
December
5.
The
smartphone
will
be
powered
by
Qualcomm’s
next
flagship
chipset,
which
is
expected
to
be
unveiled
by
the
chipmaker
later
this
month
as
the
Snapdragon
8
Gen
4
(or
Snapdragon
8
Elite)
according
to
the
publication.
It’s
worth
noting
that
the
Vivo
sub-brand
is
yet
to
announce
a
launch
date
for
the
iQOO
13
in
China
or
in
global
markets.
Last
year,
the
company
unveiled
the
iQOO
12
in
China
in
November,
while
the
handset
made
its
way
to
India
a
month
later.

gives
a
glimpse
of
the
performance
of
the
upcoming
iQOO
13.
The
Geekbench
entry
reveals
that
the
phone
will
be
equipped
with
an
octa-core

two
performance

clocked
at
4.32GHz

six
efficiency

The
Geekench
listing
for
the
purported
iQOO
13
states
that
the
device
has
14.76GB
of
RAM,
which
indicates
that
it
will
be
available
in
a
16GB
memory
variant.
It
is
also
shown
to
run
on
Android
15,
and
is
likely
to
feature
Vivo’s
FuntouchOS
15
skin.
The
benchmark
result
reveals
that
the
handset
scored
3,142
points
in
the
single-core
test
and
10,052
points
in
the
multi-core
test.
These
scores
are
much
higher
than
the
Samsung
Galaxy
S25
Ultra
that
reportedly
scored
3,069
points
and
9,080
points
in
the
single-core
and
multi-core
tests,
respectively,
with
an
‘overclocked’
Snapdragon
8
Gen
4
chipset.
On
Geekbeench,
the
latest
benchmark
results
for
the
iPhone
16
Pro
Max
show
the
handset
scored
3,562
points
in
the
single-core
test,
which
is
higher
than
what
the
purported
iQOO
13
managed
to
achieve.
However,
Apple’s
flagship
smartphone
scored
8,814
points
in
the
multi-core
test,
which
is
significantly
lower
than
iQOO’s
upcoming
smartphone.
These
benchmark
results
suggest
that
the
iQOO
13
could
be
one
of
the
most
capable
smartphones
to
be
launched
in
the
coming
months.
We
can
expect
to
learn
more
about
the
performance
of
the
handset
and
how
it
fares
against
its
competitors
once
more
smartphones
with
the
Snapdragon
8
Gen
4
and
Dimensity
9400
chipsets
are
launched.
