iQOO 13 5G (Legend, 16GB RAM, 512GB Storage)

Overall specification wise it's a great deal for 60k price range and it's also nice daily usage.1.Awsome flat Display 9/10. One point is reduced for not providing Corning Gorilla glass victus production to the display.2.Camera is good 8/10. Two points is reduced for periscope setup is not given when compared to previous model iqoo12.3.Performance is really great 10/10. There is no compromise in gaming and performance also nice in day to day usage.4.Battery backup is really great 10/10. It's charges within maximum 40minutes. Optimization is very nice. Screen on time is 7to8 hrs in moderate usage.5.Design and Build quality is 7/10. In-hand feel is good but there is gap between display and frame. But This issue is found only in Indian varient and not in global varient.

In Short, The IQOO 13 is an all rounder phone.I’ve realized something great about this phone — it’s honestly amazed me. Imagine getting a device that offers nearly the same features and specifications as a flagship phone worth ₹130K, like the Samsung Ultra series. Sure, there might be some compromises in the camera department when compared to the Ultra series, but aside from that, the performance, display quality, battery backup, and overall user experience are top-notch.The software feels smooth and optimized, multitasking is effortless, and even high-end gaming runs without a hitch. The build quality is premium, and it even supports most of the latest connectivity features like 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and fast charging. All of this at a fraction of the cost — now that’s impressive.

Very very good mobile and outstanding at this price rangePros:1. GOAT performance 10/10. No 1 position in Antutu benchmark test.2. Premium design 10/103. Battery performance (15/10) 12.30 hrs screen on time still 10 % is there (without gaming).4. Camera quality 9/10 camera downgraded from IQOO 12. Still it is a good camera but not excellent.5. Software OS 9/106. Display 10/10Cons:1. There is a minor gap in the front display like other mobiles. I don't know how ip rating will work with this gap.2. Camera performance could be better.3. No wireless chargingOverall very good mobile 9.5/10. Best value for money

Excellent phone from the price point.1. Good processor but does warm up(comfortable to hold) on normal usage.2. Excellent charging specs but again heats up even if fast charging is disabled3. Camera is mediocre but this is gaming centric phone so expected4. Battery life is good and can easily last 1.5 days on moderate usage5. RGB notification is noval feature and quite useful and a conversation starter 😀6.Screen is good but screen protection could have been better.7.Speakers are excellent , no distortion and at par with Samy phones8. Accessories included in the box is a plus with 120W charger 😱9. Excellent overall build

The camera quality is top-notch with sharp, vibrant photos in all lighting. Performance is blazing fast apps open instantly, gaming is smooth, and multitasking is seamless. The 120Hz display adds a super smooth touch to everything. Easily one of the best phones for speed, camera, and overall experience!

I'm very Satisfied with this iQOO 13. Changed my phone almost 4 years later. From iQOO 7 Legend (8+128) to iQOO 13 (16+512) because of battery backup issue.So let's simply divide it with pros n cons.Reviewing on the basis of 10 days use.Delivered on 12 Dec. 2024PROS-1. Value For Money (at Rs.50k-60k range no one can beat this in terms of Flagship specs.)2. 2025 top processor (Snapdragon 8 Elite)3. Strain free eyes even after long usage ( extra eye care BOE Q10 2K display) I'll will recommend to use it in Full HD resolution bcaz u will not see any difference untill u come very close to the screen.4. Insane Battery Backup of 6000maH ( 12+ hrs in Normal usage n u left with 10% battery, Gaming not included guys. )5. Decent Cameras (50+50+50)mp that captures nice shots in a performance centric phone, if u need flagship cameras then go for Vivo x200 pro at higher price but with other specs compromised.6. Excellent build Quality (Feels premium in hand) with no sharp edges n corners, it's comfortable to hold n feels light weight even after it's 213gm weight.7. Top Storage n Ram specs ( UFS 4.1 n LPDDR5X Ultra which gives super smooth n blazing fast performance)8. Future Proof Phone with 4+5 years of Software Updates ( n I think now a days most of us are not using any phone more than 4-5 years)9. IP68/69 Water/dust rating ( highest level rating till now)10. Improved haptic/Vibration compared to any vivo/iQOO phones , now the vibration is comparable to any Flagship competitors.11. Usefull AI features. Hope more will be added in the future.12. Monster Halo light , honestly it's not very usefull , I think it's just a show-off feature where others will see.... u don't, n for notifications the edge lighting feature is already available in iQOO phones.But it's a signature feature of iQOO 13 as nobody have give this type of RGB lights in their camera ring. So yeah, if u use it definitely people will notice u😁.CONS-I don't found any Major Cons but still on the basis of many Youtubers n users which they are complaining about I'm mentioning these-1. Funtouch OS 15 gives buttery super smooth but it lacks some features if we compare to other brands. But it also have some features which other brands haven't.2. It's Camera Downgraded from previous Generation iQOO 12 bcaz of no periscope lens in iQOO 13, if u r not zoom lover then this phone will not bother u much. Bcaz rest of the cameras are upgraded from iQOO 12 not by the hardware changes but by software processing the main camera n ultra wide lens perform same as on iQOO 12, or even better in some scenarios.3. Bloatware n useless notifications ( at the start u found some 6-7 pre-installed apps but if u uninstall them and if u know how to get rid off the useless notifications in iQOO devices then after setting up of your phone nothing will bother u after that in the UI. n I know those who r purchasing a 50k phone they must know how to uninstall apps n turn off the useless notifications at the starting of ur new iQOO 13.These r some CONS otherwise rest of the things are upgraded compared to it's previous Generation iQOO 12. n trust me guys not any brand is giving u these specs at this price range n I bet u. Those who are concerned with the Funtouch OS, then try Funtouch OS 15 on the iQOO 13 it's super smooth n lag free, and I think that Funtouch OS 16 will be closer enough to rest of UI available in the market.This is my honest review after 10 days of use. I loved this phone bcaz of it's battery backup n performance. Absolute Beast 👌.
