No Halo Light on iQOO 13:
According to recent images of the iQOO 13, the camera island is surrounded by a halo light strip. A prominent iQOO executive, Galant V, has consistently spilt details about the iQOO 13, claiming that there are no visible light strips in the device, instead, it uses an ingenious lighting technique. iQOO’s designers enjoy taking on challenges and creating unique, differentiated features, just like our fans.
