iQOO 13 is all set to launch on October 30 in China. With the launch date nearing, there's no shortage of teasers and rumours surrounding the flagship phone. Most recently, there has been chatter about the upcoming smartphone's pricing, and it looks like it will cost more than its predecessor — iQOO 12. The iQOO 13 is confirmed to come with a 7.99mm thick build. It will run on a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and feature a BOE Q10 8T LTPO OLED display with 2K resolution.

iQOO 13 May Cost More Than Its Predecessor

iQOO's product manager Galant V on Weibo (via ITHome) said that the price increase of iQOO 13 is "inevitable." The company official stated that the production cost has increased by hundreds of yuans. The official however didn't reveal how much the price increase could be.

For reference, the iQOO 12 launched in China with a starting price of CNY 3,999 (roughly Rs. 47,000). Earlier, tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that iQOO 13 will not see a price hike and will stick to the CNY 3,999 price tag for the base 12GB RAM + 256GB storage option.
