According to the tipster, the light bar is integrated into the design of the rear camera module of the iQOO 13. He adds that users will have the option not to use the light. The RGB lighting can be used while gaming or configured for call alerts and notifications.
An iQOO executive recently shared the front panel design of the iQOO 13, where it appears to have a flat display and a centered hole at the top to house the front-facing camera. The screen has thin, uniform frames.
