Expected Release Date

It is expected that the parent company of iQOO Vivo will announce the Android 13 stable update in April 2023. As both iQOO and Vivo smartphones run on similar software, we can assume that an Android 13 update will be there around the similar time structure for iQOO devices, just like Vivo smartphones. Of course, no official announcement from the company yet, but we can expect the release date according to previous patterns.

FunTouch OS 13 rolled out a few weeks back in some devices and based on it; we expect the following features in FunTouch OS 13.

Upgraded Theme Engine

FunTouch OS 13 will be more polished compared to FunTouch OS 12, along with more colour options. Already there are many options incorporating dual-tone colours are present.
