Starting with the display, the iQOO 13 boasts a BOE Q10 6.82-inch 2K OLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and 300 Hz sampling rate. It’s a 19:8:9 flat display that maxes out at 1800 nits of peak brightness and gives the phone a screen-to-body ratio of 93.87%.
Powering the phone is, of course, the Snapdragon 8 Elite which is built on Qualcomm’s 2nd Gen Oryon cores and is over 50% faster and efficient than Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It also delivers around 45% faster AI performance which the iQOO 13 will leverage thanks to a host of AI features that come built into OriginOS 5. Besides, the phone also has an iQOO-developed Q2 display chip for gaming.
Cooling system and Processor
In the storage department, there’s UFS 4.0 storage combined with LPDDR5X RAM. The battery is a whopping 6,150 mAh unit which can charge at 120W. This is made possible thanks to iQOO using two cells which are 2990 mAh capacity (typical) each.
As for the camera, the rear has a 50MP primary f/1.88 LYT-702 sensor, a 50MP wide f/2 secondary sensor, and a 50MP telephoto f/1.85 shooter with 2X optical zoom, all with OIS. The front camera is a 32MP selfie unit.
Connectivity-wise, there’s Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, IR blaster, and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port. The phone also gets an on-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and facial recognition, albeit software-based.
The phone comes running OriginOS 5 based on Android 15 and brings, as you may have guessed, many AI features. Besides, Vivo claims that it vastly improves power scheduling, has better animations, and improves the overall battery life.
