The iQOO 13 is set to debut in China on October 30 with the first smartphone to incorporate the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Tipster DigitalChatStation indicated that the base model will retail for RMB 3,999, mirroring the launch price of the iQOO 12. However, iQOO's product manager, Galant V, acknowledged that a price increase is unavoidable due to rising production costs.

DigitalChatStation suggested (via 91Mobiles) that the price for the 12GB + 256GB variant could slightly exceed RMB 3,999, though the confirmed figure remains unverified. Despite improvements in display and chipset technology, retaining last year's pricing seems unlikely. The iQOO executive clarified that the upcoming model's base price would likely surpass RMB 3,999, although no specific figures were provided.
