The iQOO 13, which was unveiled in China in October, will soon begin its international rollout, with its India debut set to take place on December 3. The iQOO 13 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship chip and sports a trio of 50MP cameras on the back.
The 50MP primary camera on the iQOO 13 uses a Sony IMX921 sensor with an f/1.88 aperture. It has OIS and EIS and can record 1080p and 4K videos at up to 60fps and 8K videos at 30fps. The 50MP telephoto unit uses a Sony IMX816 sensor. It also has OIS and comes with 2x optical zoom. The 50MP ultrawide camera uses Samsung’s S5KJN1SQ03 sensor.
iQOO invited us to an exclusive media briefing in Dubai, UAE last week, where we got a look at the iQOO 13 and took quick photos and videos. We’re sharing them below so you can pixel-peep them yourself. You can also use our comparison tool on the desktop version of the website to compare two photos.

daylight photos
Let’s first check out the daylight photos, clicked with the 50MP primary camera in default photo mode, which has an output of 12.6MP. This is followed by pictures taken with the same camera in high-resolution mode.

Now, we have some photos taken in Portrait mode, which supports four focal lengths – 24mm (1x), 35mm (1.5x), 50mm (2x), and 100mm (4x).
24 mm (1x) • 35 mm (1.5x) • 50 mm (2x) • 100 mm (4x)
24 mm (1x) • 35 mm (1.5x) • 50 mm (2x) • 100 mm (4x)
Next, we have some photos clicked with the iQOO 13’s Snapshot feature, which is meant to capture moving objects. We used it to click BMW M Motorsport cars speeding at over 200 km/hr on the Dubai Autodrome racetrack. The author of this article himself achieved a top speed of 229 km/h by driving a BMW M4 Competition.

And thats pretty much it. We’ll give you a verdict on the camera quality of the iQOO 13 after we’ve completed our usual tests, but feel free to let us know what you think about the photos clicked with the iQOO 13 in the comments below.
