iQOO 13 Camera Deep Dive: Real World Results

Hey questers, I hope you'll having a great time! Here's my review for the monster iQOO 13's cameras, the latest flagship by the brand which definitely is a total beast in gaming and performance but the camera setup is also at par. Here are some camera samples in different situations to show all the camera capabilities of this beast iQOO 13!


Day Shots

Here are some of the camera samples for day shots - shot on iQOO 13:

The zoom camera of iQOO 13 is pretty good up until the 10x zoom. I'm impressed with the amount of detail and clarity the 10x zoom camera has captured after the processing. But I can't say the same for the 30x zoom on this device (which is the maximum zoom capacity). It has lost many details in the processing stage and the shot doesn't come out good (even when I clicked all the shots at the same time, with overall same settings with just changing the zoom levels and with steady hands). For that reason, I think I've seen no one use the maximum zoom capability of this beast of a device and most only go upto 10x (which is pretty good for still shots). Also, there's a slight colour shift between the 0.6x (ultrawide) lens and the 1x lens.


Night Shots

Here are some camera samples for night shots - shot on iQOO 13:

  • Normal Mode (Portrait Orientation):

  • Normal Mode (Landscape Orientation):

  • Zoom samples (0.6x to 30x):

These zoom shots are not taken at late night in the dark but during the golden hour. I have the same feedback for these zoom shots as the zoom shots during the day, like there is a bit of colour shift between the 0.6x (ultrawide) zoom and the 1x zoom. Also, the 30x zoom shot hasn't captured much detail and clarity.


Other Modes

  • Long Exposure:

Camera Specs

iQOO 13 features a triple camera setup:

  • 50 MP (upto 10x Digital Zoom) Wide Angle Primary Camera
  • 50 MP Ultra-Wide Angle Camera
  • 50 MP Telephoto (upto 30x Optical Zoom) Camera

Summed Up

In summary, iQOO 13 is an overall beast, with it's camera matching its high performance. Ofcourse it is not perfect, there are some issues that I feel should be fixed in future that I've highlighted with the camera samples above. But if don't nitpick like me about zoom cameras, I think this is honestly the best flagship you can buy in this price range, with this level of performance and cameras! This sums up my camera review of iQOO 13.
