The iQOO 13, a flagship smartphone packed with high-end features, is set to launch in India on December 3. Ahead of the official unveiling, rumors suggest that the pre-offer price of the device will be under ₹55,000, as revealed by tipster Mukul Sharma on X. This indicates that the launch price could range between ₹55,000 and ₹60,000, placing the iQOO 13 in direct competition with flagship models like the Realme GT 7 Pro, Vivo X200, and OnePlus 13.
The base variant is expected to offer 12GB RAM + 256GB storage, which aligns with its competitive pricing strategy. For context, the iQOO 12 was launched at ₹52,999, so the iQOO 13 may see a marginal price hike.
