iQOO 13 Long-Term Review: Camera &Gaming Unleashed! 🚀

Hey iQOO Fam! 👋

After over 2 months of rigorously testing the iQOO 13, Rakesh aka Gyan Therepy here to share his thoughts on this beast of a phone! Whether you’re a gamer, a traveler, or just someone looking for a powerful Android device in the ₹50-55K range, this phone has a lot to offer. Here’s the lowdown:


🔥 Why the iQOO 13 Stands Out

1️⃣ Unmatched Performance

  • Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite + Q2 gaming chip, it’s a gaming monster! 🎮
  • BGMI at 139 FPS, Genshin Impact at 141 FPS, and Wuthering Waves at 57.8 FPS – all buttery smooth even after hours of play.
  • Stays cool enough during marathon sessions, with no major frame drops.

2️⃣ Stunning Display

  • 6.8” 2K AMOLED (120Hz, HDR, 10-bit) is vibrant and perfect for gaming and Netflix binges. 📺
  • Flat display makes gaming controls feel precise.

3️⃣ Epic Battery Life

  • 6000mAh battery lasts a full day with 2-3 hours of gaming or up to 2 days for casual use.
  • 120W charging juices it up in ~40 mins! ⚡️ Only 3% idle drain overnight with AOD on.

4️⃣ Solid Build & Features

  • IP68/IP69 rating, premium matte glass back, and a metal frame.
  • The Monster Halo light around the camera syncs with notifications, music, and even in-game actions – super cool! 😎
  • Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is blazing fast, even with wet hands.

5️⃣ Camera for Casual Snaps

  • Triple 50MP setup (main, ultra-wide, 2x zoom) + 32MP selfie camera | Brillient Camera quality.
  • Main camera shines in low light (check those Maha Kumbh shots at 4 AM!), and portraits are sharp.
  • Ultra-wide is decent but could be better. Great for casual photography, but not the top pick for camera buffs.

6️⃣ Funtouch OS 15

  • Smooth and fast on Android 15, with 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security patches promised.
  • Love ai features like Circle to Search, customizable AOD (now supports 20 apps), and blurred recent apps for privacy.
  • Minor gripes: occasional bloatware notifications (e.g., IPL suggestions) need better control.

7️⃣ Connectivity That Delivers

  • Tested during bus, train, and plane travel with Jio – outperformed a OnePlus Nord 3 in network stability. 🌐

🎯 Who’s It For?

The iQOO 13 is a dream phone for:

  1. Gamers craving top-tier performance.
  2. ✅ Users who want a big battery, fast charging, and a premium display.
  3. ✅ Those looking for a balanced phone under ₹55K that handles casual photography well.

If the camera is your top priority, you might want to explore other options, but for gaming and overall performance, this phone is tough to beat!
