TL;DR
- The Iqoo 13 has launched in China, and this phone follows in the S24 Ultra’s footsteps by offering an anti-reflective display layer.
- This means you should expect significantly reduced glare on the phone’s screen.
- Unfortunately, this display feature is restricted to the 1TB model.
Performance-focused brand Iqoo has launched the Iqoo 13 in China, and one model features so-called Crystal Optical Glass. The company’s website only notes that this glass is “clear and durable,” but MyDrivers reports that the glass offers an anti-reflective layer to increase light transmittance and reduce light reflections.
That’s good news as we were impressed with the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s glare-free screen. So we hope this new flagship phone delivers a similarly great experience. Unfortunately, Crystal Optical Glass and the associated anti-reflective layer are only available on the 16GB/1TB model.
More than just a glare-free screen?
Otherwise, the Iqoo 13 is a performance-focused phone, featuring a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a 6,150mAh battery, 120W wired charging via a bundled charger, and a 6.82-inch 144Hz OLED screen (3,168 x 1,440). Iqoo’s handset also has a triple 50MP rear camera system (including a 2x tele lens), IP68/IP69 ratings, and a customizable RGB light around the camera housing.
Expect to pay a starting price of 3,999 yuan (~$562) for the 12GB/256GB model. Want the 16GB/1TB variant with the anti-reflective display layer? Then you’ll be paying 5,199 yuan (~$730). Iqoo has confirmed that the Iqoo 13 will launch “soon” in India, so we hope the 1TB model is available outside China too.
