iQOO 13 5G Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Shekhar Thakran]()
Verdict
iQOO 13 is every bit the performance beast you would expect it to be. The handset comes with the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The new smartphone from iQOO improves over its predecessor on a lot of fronts but lacks the periscope lens that gave last year's model an edge over some other handsets in its price range. Despite this, the iQOO 13 is still a capable phone in terms of optics and can click some impressive portrait shots.
Pros
- Performance beast with Snapdragon 8 Elite
- Impressive display
- Top-notch durability with IP68 and IP69 ratings
- Capable Night mode
Cons
- Lots of pre-installed apps
- No periscope lens
Design and display
+
The iQOO 13 looks almost identical to its predecessor in all the key elements. The phone carries the same design ethos and if you buy the Legend Edition, you will be even more hard-pressed to find the differences. However, one clear difference this time around is the 'Monster Halo' ring light around the camera module. This dynamic light can be fine-tuned to your liking in terms of colour, and effect speed. You can even choose when it gets activated.

While iQOO is performance-centric at its core, over the last few years, the flagship models from the brand have offered some impressive camera setups. This is why I had high hopes for the iQOO 13 too.

Performance and Software
+
This is perhaps the most crucial aspect of any iQOO smartphone. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the iQOO 13 is a performance beast. The Snapdragon chipset comes with a 2 + 6 all-big-core architecture and has been developed using the 3nm fabrication process. The chipset manages to achieve the industry-best clock speed of 4.32GHz, resulting in a performance improvement of 45 percent over its predecessor. In terms of efficiency, you get a boost of 44 percent over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The handset comes with up to 16GB of LPDDRX5 Ultra RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage that ensures loading times are bare minimum. But not just this, the phone comes with Supercomputing Chip Q2, which is the next-generation iQOO gaming chip. The brand claims it generates superior graphics with low energy consumption.

Battery and charging
+
The iQOO 13 comes with a 6,000mAh battery that easily lasts around a day and a half in regular use and around 2 days in light usage. In the PCMark test, the handset lasted around 13 hours, which is a respectable score. In the same test, the GT 7 Pro lasted more than 17 hours and 30 minutes, and the OPPO Find X8 lasted just over 10 hours (despite offering decent battery life in real-world usage).
