iQOO 13 India Price Tipped: Should You Wait for it Over Realme GT 7 Pro?

iQOO is all set to launch its newest flagship in India on December 3 and ahead of the event, the iQOO 13 India price has been tipped, suggesting that the device might carry a price tag similar to its predecessor in the country. Here are the details you should know and whether you should wait for the iQOO 13 over the Realme GT 7 Pro.

As per Mukul Sharma on X, the iQOO 13 India price will remain under Rs 55,000 without the bank offers brands usually provide. To recall, the iQOO 12 launched in India last year with a starting price tag of Rs 52,999. This means that iQOO 13 may launch at the same price or a slightly higher value which would still be an appealing price tag for a successor to the cheapest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered device that launched in India.

The only smartphone available with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip in India is the Realme GT 7 Pro as of now, which starts at Rs 59,999. If the tipped iQOO 13 India price is indeed correct, then that would create a substantial price difference between the iQOO 13 and GT 7 Pro, clearly making the former a superior offering.

If the iQOO 13 comes with the same specs as its Chinese counterpart (except for the battery that’s already confirmed to be a slightly smaller 6000mAh cell), then it would also have the advantage of better specs over the GT 7 Pro. Compared to Realme’s handset, the iQOO 13 would sport a sharper display with a higher resolution, better cameras per on-paper specs, faster and the latest UFS 4.1 storage, and the same and RAM, all at a lower price. We think you should wait for the iQOO 13 if you want to get the best value for your money.

This comparison is solely made based on the leaked price of iQOO 13 in India.The device sports a 6.82-inch 2K 8T LTPO flat display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 1800 nits brightness in HBM mode and 4500 nits peak brightness, 2592Hz PWM dimming, and OLED circular polarized light eye protection technology. The display made by BOE, tuned for iQOO.

Motorola Announces Open Beta Program for New Moto AI Features: Know Details

No smartphone brand wants to get left behind in the ongoing “AI race.” As a result, Lenovo-owned Motorola has announced the launch of an Open Beta program for new Moto features supported on a select few smartphone models from the brand. Here’s everything to know about the development.

Moto AI is designed to “simplify daily smartphone interaction by placing users at the center” as it is fully baked throughout the entire device experience. Starting November 26, eligible users can sign up for the open beta program for new moto AI features.

This program will allow users to “experience all that moto ai has to offer, share their feedback and influence the future of moto ai.” The beta testing program will be available on the motorola razr 50 ultra/motorola razr+, motorola razr 50/motorola razr, and motorola edge 50 ultra.

Open Beta Program for New Moto AI Features: What Are They?

Accessible from anywhere with a simple double tap on the back of the device, consumers can discover new advanced moto ai features.

There’s a new Catch me up prompt that keeps users up to date with the notifications they missed, regardless of how long they’ve been away from their phone. This is because moto ai delivers a tailored summary of their most important messages, similar to Apple Intelligence’s notification summaries. This way, consumers can move forward with their day without needing to check missed notifications.

Next, the Pay attention command helps consumers stay present and focused during meetings and conversations, eliminating the need for notetaking. Users can press record and moto ai handles the rest. It captures, transcribes, and summarizes key points for a quick review later.

Then there’s a Remember this prompt which serves as an intelligent companion, capturing and saving key moments users want to look back on. With each photo or screenshot, moto ai enriches the memory with relevant insights, context, and meaningful facts stored privately in one’s Journal. Whenever users want to revisit or recall important details, such as a flight itinerary or product they want to buy, they can nudge moto ai to bring it all back.

The newly designed search bar offers users a seamless way to find exactly what they need—whether searching their device, browsing the web, or using a language model. This intuitive tool enables users to search for apps, contacts, settings, and more, all from one central location. Complementing this is the tray, which organizes content into three clear tabs: Apps, News, and Journal, ensuring everything is easily accessible.

Users can also leverage natural language search via voice or text, simplifying tasks and delivering instant assistance, quick suggestions, or answers to questions. Additionally, Smart Actions enhance productivity by enabling one-command shortcuts for tasks like taking a selfie, scanning documents, or activating a hotspot.

As announced via a Google Workspace Updates post, Audio Huddles in Google Chat are powered by Google Meet. The feature lets you start an audio-first meeting, making real-time collaboration easier.
