iQOO 13 Price in India Tipped Ahead of Next Week’s Launch: Could be Cheaper Than the Realme GT 7 Pro

The iQOO 13 is all set to make its debut in India next week as the second smartphone in the country to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. To recall, the iQOO 13 made its debut in China last month, all-but confirming its specifications.

And while pricing of the iQOO 13 is still under wraps, a new leak has emerged courtesy of tipster Mukul Sharma, who claims that the iQOO 13 price in India will start from under Rs 55,000. This suggests that the iQOO 13 price in India will start from Rs 54,999.

iQOO 13 Price in India (Expected)

Before diving into the specifications of the device, it is worth noting that the sub-55K price mentioned in the post refers to the pre-offer price. This means that the iQOO 13 will cost Rs 54,999 in India before any bank offers or cashbacks.

Moreover, the sub-55K price tag is for the base 12GB/256GB model of the iQOO 13. Additionally, the 16GB/512GB model of the iQOO 13 could come in just under 65K. To recall, the iQOO 12 5G price in India is Rs 52,999, which makes this a meager Rs 2,000 hike.

To recall, the Realme GT 7 Pro recently debuted as the first Snapdragon 8 Elite smartphone in India with a price tag of Rs 59,999, which makes the speculated price of the iQOO 13 even more impressive. However, this is still just a rumour and iQOO haven't confirmed any pricing details, although Sharma has often been accurate with past leaks. The iQOO 13 launch date in India is set for December 3 at 12 noon.
