iQOO 13 pairs the Snapdragon 8 Elite with a 6.82-inch 2K 144Hz LTPO AMOLED and a dedicated Q2 gaming chip for frame interpolation. A battery of about 6,000mAh with 120W charging and an IP68/IP69 rating make it a durable workhorse. The 2x telephoto is basic and the software is busy, but for gaming it's hard to beat.
