Hi guys Abhinav aka HYBRID this side,

Today i am gonna give my review towards the iQOO 13 so let's begin! 

iQOO’s latest flagship, the iQOO 13, is making waves with its powerful hardware, super-fast

charging, and robust software update policy. Priced around ₹53,000 (with bank offers), it

aims to compete with other high-performance devices in its segment. After testing the phone

extensively, here’s our comprehensive review.

Design & Build Quality :

While iQOO has not drastically changed the overall design philosophy, the iQOO 13 offers a

premium finish with a sturdy frame. It feels comfortable in hand despite its large display.

Notable design highlights include:

● Glass-Front & Possibly Glass/Matte Back: Depending on the color variant, the rear

can be glass or matte-finished. Both look premium, though glass can be slightly more

prone to fingerprints.

● Ergonomics: Despite housing a 6000mAh battery, the weight distribution is

balanced, making it easier to hold for longer periods.

● Ports & Buttons: The device features a USB-C port for charging, a bottom-firing

speaker (in addition to the earpiece for stereo audio), and well-placed power and

volume buttons on the right side.

Overall, the iQOO 13 meets flagship standards in build quality and aesthetics, though it

keeps a conservative design language compared to some more flashy competitors.

Display

The iQOO 13 boasts a 6.82-inch Quad HD+ LTPO AMOLED panel with a resolution of

3168×1440 and a 20:9 aspect ratio. Key display features:

● 144Hz Variable Refresh Rate: Adapts refresh rate based on content—great for fluid

scrolling and saving battery during static usage.

● HDR10+ Support: Colors pop when viewing HDR content on Netflix, YouTube, and

other platforms.

● Peak Brightness up to 4500 nits: Ensures comfortable outdoor visibility,even under

harsh direct sunlight.

● Default Resolution at 1080P: For battery efficiency, the phone ships in FHD+ mode.

Users can switch to the full 1440P in settings.

● Ultrasonic In-Display Fingerprint Scanner: Extremely fast and more accurate than

previous iQOO generations, making unlocking seamless.

With its vibrant colors, high brightness, and adaptive refresh rate, the iQOO 13’s display

stands among the best in its price category

Battery & Charging :

A standout feature of the iQOO 13 is its 6000mAh battery, which easily caters to heavy

usage without frequent top-ups.

● All-Day Endurance: In daily mixed usage—5G on most of the time, streaming

videos, browsing, and moderate gaming—it consistently delivers over 9 hours of

Screen-On Time (SOT). Power users may still manage to finish a full day

comfortably.

● 120W Fast Charger: Bundled in the box, it refuels the phone from about 13% to

100% in just 30 minutes, making battery anxiety a thing of the past.

● Thermal Efficiency: While charging speeds are extremely high, the phone manages

heat well, not getting excessively warm during the quick charging cycle.

This combination of a large battery and super-fast charging sets the iQOO 13 apart from

many competing flagships.

Performance & Benchmarks :

Unsurprisingly, the Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite (presumably the high-tier 8-series chip) powers

the iQOO 13 to top-tier benchmark results.

● AnTuTu: Scores are in line with other flagship devices featuring similar chipsets,

showcasing high CPU/GPU performance.

● Everyday Fluidity: Opening apps, multitasking, streaming, and moderate gaming

are all handled effortlessly.

● Long Gaming Sessions: The phone remains consistent, with minimal throttling.

iQOO’s cooling solutions appear efficient enough to sustain stable frame rates in

heavy titles.

The iQOO 13 truly lives up to the idea of a flagship performance powerhouse in 2024.

Camera 

Good daylight performance with vibrant colors, though somewhat oversaturated

greens and occasional struggles in portrait or low-light shots. Software updates show

improvement, but for camera excellence, you may still prefer alternatives like the GT

7 Pro. 

Final verdict ! 

If you want a reliable flagship-level phone that balances speed, battery, and solid features at

a competitive price, the iQOO 13 stands out as a fantastic choice.

Well that's it from my side
