It was recently rumored that the iQOO 13 would bring back the rear light strip seen on the original iQOO in 2019, but it looks like it will also feature other changes compared to the iQOO 12.
The cameras, for starters. According to Chinese site Digital Chat Station, the iQOO 13 will feature three 50MP sensors. The iQOO 12 has a 50MP main camera and a 50MP ultrawide, but has a 64MP telephoto lens, meaning the iQOO 13's telephoto lens will also be 50MP.

The design of the camera island will remain very similar according to the same source. So expect another circle shape housed in the upper left part of the back. The iQOO 13 will of course use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset and will come with smaller bezels than its predecessor.
It is also rumored to feature an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, IP68 dust and water resistance, a large X-axis vibration motor, a 6,000mAh battery, and support for 100W wired charging.
The focus will be on the performance and overall experience of the iQOO 13, and some commenters on Weibo are speculating that the periscope zoom camera could disappear, replaced by a 2x module.
