iQOO has already revealed the front design of their upcoming flagship, the iQOO 13, showcasing a flat display and a metal middle frame. However, they kept the back design secret. It was previously rumored that the phone includes a “Halo” light on the back.

Today, Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station has finally shared images of phone’s back, giving us a first look at the light ring around the camera island, which features a design very similar to its predecessor.

In a previous teaser, where the company revealed the front design, there was a “12/09” notation, which likely suggests December 9th as the release date for the Chinese market.
This device will stand out in at least another key aspect—the SuperComputing Chip Q2.
