In Short

  • The iQOO 13 was recently announced in China and the flagship phone is all set to arrive in India
  • The device could launch in India at the price of iQOO 12
  • The iQOO 13 is expected to launch at Rs 52,999 in India

The iQOO 13 was recently announced in China and the flagship phone is all set to arrive in India. The device has been listed on the Amazon India page, which says that the iQOO 13 is coming soon. The company has already started teasing its features in the Indian market, although we already know its specs because the flagship iQOO phone is available in the Chinese market.

The iQOO 12 was a good affordable smartphone and the company priced it aggressively to offer users flagship-level performance at an accessible price. With the iQOO 13, the company is expected to follow the same strategy to have an edge over the competition in terms of price-to-performance ratio, although this is not something new that we will be seeing.

OnePlus has been doing this for some time now. It tries to keep the prices of its flagship phone much lower than what Samsung phones are selling for, and OnePlus is mostly targeting those who are looking for a performance-oriented device without breaking the bank. We are seeing iQOO following in the footsteps of OnePlus, but it remains to be seen whether iQOO will also increase the price of its flagships every year or keep it aggressive.

The iQOO 13 has been launched in China at CNY 3,999, which is around Rs 47,000 in India when converted. The iQOO 12 was also made available at the same price, and the device made its India debut at Rs 52,999, which is slightly higher than the Chinese market because of customs charges and other things. So, there are chances that the iQOO 13 could also be made available at the same price - Rs 52,999. But, nothing is confirmed yet and we will have to wait for a few weeks to know more about it.

Since Apple hasn't increased the prices of its iPhone 16 series and offered the Pro models at a lower price than the iPhone 15 Pro versions, many brands are expected to launch their flagship phones without much of a price increase. The OnePlus 13 is expected to be priced under Rs 70,000, the iQOO 13 under Rs 55,000 and the Realme GT 7 Pro could be priced between Rs 50,000 to Rs 55,000. But, nothing is officially confirmed, so readers are advised to take the details with a pinch of salt.
