The iQOO 13 is expected to officially launch in November. However, the Vivo sub-brand is yet to confirm when the successor to the iQOO 12 will be announced, but we already know quite a bit about the flagship.

It is expected to be one of the first smartphones to pack the unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor.
