iQOO 13 review in 5 points

– Design and Performance: The iQOO 13 carries forward the design language of the iQOO 12. It has a flat display with a sturdy and boxy build. The back panel features a squished camera island with three-triple camera shooters and a ring light. But you will also see changes here. The camera island is surrounded by monster halo lights. This light acts as a notification indicator for calls, messages, and charging. It also works while gaming and offers 72 combinations of RGB colors.

With all this on the camera module, it may seem heavy, but the iQOO 13 is very light and easy to carry. It is so thin that it can easily fit in your denim pocket without any problem. As said, the phone has a huge display. The iQOO 13 features a larger 6.82-inch display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The main feature of this display is that it is eye-friendly. The company claims that this device offers the world’s first Q10 2K Ultra iCare display. Whether watching Christmas movies, browsing Instagram, or playing graphics-intensive games, using the phone has been an absolute pleasure. Overall, I found the iQOO 13’s display to be crisp and vibrant.

– Display: The iQOO 13 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and runs on FuntouchOS 15 based on Android 15. It is available in two configurations: 12GB RAM with 256GB storage and 16GB RAM with 512GB storage. After testing the iQOO 13, it’s clear that this device is a true powerhouse in terms of performance. It handles tasks effortlessly and remains cool during use.

To push its limits, we also put the device through several benchmark tests. Although it gets a little hot during these intense tests, it delivers top-class performance. Read our full review to know more about what this device offers.

– Battery: One of the key features of the iQOO 13 is its impressive battery capacity. The device packs a large 6000 mAh battery with 120W fast charging support. Even after using the phone at its full capacity, the phone can easily run for 24 hours. The charging performance is equally impressive. The phone takes only 30 minutes to charge from 0 percent to full 100 percent, which lives up to the company’s claims.

– Camera: The iQOO 13 is equipped with a versatile triple-camera setup, which includes a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 primary sensor, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens. The rear camera delivers clear and detailed photos, especially in well-lit conditions. Additionally, modes like Portrait, Night Mode and other AI-powered features perform exceptionally well on this device. Check out our in-depth review for camera samples and more details.

– Decision: With a starting price of Rs 54,999, iQOO 13 offers exceptional value for money. The phone has a great display, attractive design, strong battery life and a capable camera system. However, the most striking thing about the phone is undoubtedly its price. In an era where prices of flagship phones are skyrocketing, the iQOO 13 equipped with cutting-edge hardware and a top-tier chipset comes out as an excellent deal at Rs 54,999.
