**NEW DELHI** – Vivo’s sub-brand iQOO is launching its flagship smartphone, the iQOO 13, in India today at 12 PM IST. The phone, boasting a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (likely a typo in the original text, referring to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, not “Elite”) chipset, aims to compete with high-end devices like the Realme GT 7 Pro and OnePlus 13.

Key features revealed ahead of launch include a massive 6,000mAh battery, a 2K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, and a triple 50MP camera setup (50MP main, 50MP telephoto, 50MP ultrawide), along with a 32MP selfie camera. A unique “Monster Halo” light ring surrounding the camera will illuminate during calls, messages, and charging. The phone will be available in Nardo Grey and a Legend Edition featuring BMW-inspired tri-color stripes. It also features IP rating for dust and water resistance.

The launch event will be live-streamed on iQOO’s YouTube channel and social media platforms. Following the launch, the iQOO 13 will be available for purchase on Amazon India. Reports suggest pricing may undercut ₹60,000, potentially making it the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 powered phone in the Indian market.
