iQOO 13 is expected to launch soon as a successor to the iQOO 12, with numerous leaks and reports fueling speculation over the past few weeks. A recent report had suggested that the anticipated smartphone may launch in India on December 5. The iQOO 13 is expected to see a China launch in November. Ahead of any official announcements, a new leak has surfaced online that suggests the rear panel design of the smartphone.

The iQOO 13 has surfaced online in a design similar to the preceding iQOO 12, with a squircle rear camera unit. A leaked image of the iQOO 13 shared by tipster Digital Chat Station shows an RGB light strip around the rear camera module. The design of the anticipated handset is visible in an image shared by the Weibo account Sanlian Life Weekly (translated from Chinese).
