    Does xiaomi 15 uses a boe screen? Does xiaomi 15 uses circular polarization? Does xiaomi 15 has a 6K+ battery? Does xiaomi 15 has a 2k screen? Does xiaomi 15 uses faster memory and ram? Does xiaomi has the same size as an iqoo 13?
    You bringing up oneplus 13 like we are going to ignore that they literally got billions of resources from oneplus

    "Well they are inferior to other flagship"
    Now this is weird, they trying to trade of 2 specs to give you like 6 upgrades that fill the missing features now you still complaining?
    Look at their parents brand
    X200 still uses the optical fingerprint, usb 2.0
    And you want them to have better specs than their parent company? Lets act like they can do that
    Even then they still prices lower than them
    "B-but the 512 version has been prices higher than before"
    Yeah lets act like we didn't know memory and ram prices literally hit the highest in this time.


    Again, someone call me "something" for not understanding and reading my comments.
    I already pointed out a whole lot of features that are added to make their phone more "all arounder" which you seems to be forgotten since your comments now is about whining that they don't gave an "Ultra"/"Pro" flagship series level specs LOL
    If you want to "ignore" the difference between series of the flagship, what's the point of you complaining them to iqoo 13?
    Go spend 1000+ usd on those Ultra phones lmaoo

      Rhoodin, 01 Nov 2024People made fun of Iqoo's missing features because the... moreBro just hates the iQoo series lmfao

        Pieo90, 01 Nov 2024So you gonna ignore the fact that people make fun of iqoo 1... morePeople made fun of Iqoo's missing features because they were inferior to other flagships. Xiaomi 14 is currently available for less cost than Iqoo 12. Xiaomi 14 has almost similar level rear camera + everything Iqoo is made fun off. Iqoo needed to upgrade these features without degrading other features if they wanted to compete with other Flagships.

        Lol. 'Sacrifices made to keep the prices lower'? Are you joking. What lower prices?

        Xiaomi 15 has usb 3.2 and 32mp front camera as well as better main camera, better telephoto camera, 50w Wireless Charging, Reverse Wireless Charging than Iqoo 13 and costs only 40$ more.

        Oneplus 13 comes with USB 3.2. Better 9.9k cooling. Better main Camera, Way better persicope camera. Better Front Camera. 50W Wireless Charging. Reverse Wired and Wireless Charging.
        And the 12/512GB version costs 55$ more than Iqoo 13.

        Woow.. Amazing cost savings done by Iqoo. 30$-50$ price difference at launch is basically being in same price range.

        You talk about Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner. Almost Every phone launched with 8 Elite and D9400 so far has the same Ultrasonic Fingerprint. Even Iqoo Neo 9S Pro+ had it.

        And very well played comparing to Iqoo 12 features and Iqoo 12 prices. But here is another Fact about the launch prices.
        Onplus 12 512GB : 4799 Yuan. Oneplus 13 512GB : 4899 Yuan.
        Iqoo 12 512GB : 4299 Yuan. Iqoo 13 512GB : 4499Yuan.
        Xiaomi 14 512GB : 4599Yuan. Xiaomi 15 512GB: 4799Yuan.

        Every Brand has increased Prices by 100-200Yuan from last generation including Iqoo.
        But every brand is doing it without downgrading any major features of their phone. Oneplus 13 also added SD Elite, Increased battery, added ultrasonic FP, added IP68 n IP69, upgraded display, upgraded haptic feedback motor, upgraded cooling, upgraded periscope camera, only degraded UW Camera and yet increased price less than iqoo. See the Irony?

        If you are just a marketing agent of Iqoo, i totally understand your position of defending their trash that simply can not compete with other Flagships launched so far. Does the Iqoo 13 fill the gap left by Iqoo 12? Lol Big NO. It leaves a bigger gap than Iqoo 12 and further increased gap vs other flagships. Iqoo 13 can't be considered an Upgrade of Iqoo 12 but just an Overpriced Upgrade of Iqoo Neo 9s Pro+. It will compete with Redmi K80 Pro, only K80 Pro will be about 100$ lower priced than Iqoo 13. And about 140$-150$ Cheaper than others.

          Pieo90, 01 Nov 2024You didn't even read my comments properly, and continu... moreno point in continuing further, i don't like arguing over pointless things, we agreed on the initial problem so let's leave it.

            jiyen235, 01 Nov 2024you didn't mention that clearly, like you didn't ... moreYou didn't even read my comments properly, and continue to assume things "based" on that. And instead of searching for the data you just call me a glazer (what an adult way to think!)
            Oh the irony

              Rhoodin, 31 Oct 2024Oneplus 13 just launched with bigger 9.9k colling system an... moreLets just bring xiaomi 15 Ultra into this discussion right! Because that's really aligned with the point i was making before.
              So what's the specs of iqoo 12?
              And what's the specs of iqoo 13?
              Does the iqoo 13 fill the gap that iqoo 12 had as a "flagship"?
              If yes then THAT'S HOW THEY MADE IT MORE ALL AROUNDER

              Damn i guess people want iqoo 13 with usb 2.0, optical fingerprints, 16mp (fhd video recording), ip64, smaller battery, worse display from visionox instead of boe (especially that flicker, and more prone to green line), worse speaker, worse motor.

                Pieo90, 01 Nov 2024I literally used Reviewer data to back up my claims and yet... moreyou didn't mention that clearly, like you didn't say which reviewer, you just said sources or something. how'll i know you didn't make stuff up? and instead of continuing on like a kid learn to stop when things have calmed down.

                    And now they gave it, you complained that the camera isn't as good as it used to be even though that was the sacrifices it must made to keep the price lower?
                    Dam the irony of your statement is bigger than ksi forehead

Watched Wekihome's review and i take it back this is an excellent phone and a contender for phone of the year if the global price is good.

                      I just suggested you not to take the manufacturers' claims at face value, that's all.

                      Oh and btw, in terms of thermals, the X200 Pro isn't far off but yeah, this phone is exceptional for the price.

                        jiyen235, 31 Oct 2024i don't get your point. you're just glazing iqoo ... moreIm saying "ONE OF the best display" seems you like to assume things. SINCE IN FACT the data reviewer shows that they are in fact have Better color accuracy, color management, eye protection, dimming level than Their Parent company (Vivo x200 series)
                        Another thing most of reviewer like WHYTester, xiao bai, etc already tested their phones in heavy games scenarios
                        And most of the result is already out

                        What so hard to understand?
                        Trading main camera + periscope for ->

                        + The same speaker model on top and the bottom (double 115E instead of smaller 105e model on iqoo12)
                        For the same price
                        And you think this trade of specs isn't good?

                        Yes the camera capabilities aren't as good as iqoo 12
                        But iqoo 13 has more variable advantages that people care as a flagship

That's what an all round flagship looks like.

                                Again looks great soecs are definitely impressive but some other brands did better job.

                                  Iqoo 12 was an all round phone loved by everyone.

                                  This phone has same performance as every other 8 Elite Flagship. And has almost same price as other 8 elite phones. And has massively downgraded cameras.

                                  Biggest cooling system? Dude, gaming phones come with inbuilt fans and dedicated coolers etc.

                                  Best screen? (Wait for it to be tested. Even if its better than others, the difference will be miniscule).
                                  32MP front camera (every other phone has that xiaomi 15, Find x8, honor magic 7).
                                  USB 3.2 (Xiaomi 15 also has that. So does many phones)
                                  Bigger motor 1060h?. 1060h literally means 10mm by 6mm. Its smaller than many other phones. Its all just marketing material of Iqoo that you are quoting.

                                  Every 8 Elite phone is capable of same 'heavy gaming' as this phone.

                                  Real gaming phones have
                                  Dual Type C ports with one on the side so can charge while playing.
                                  Display port from type c to play on bigger screen.

                                    RaviSS, 31 Oct 2024Agreed. The camera downgrade is downright shocking. And ... morebuy a camera then

                                      Rifaie564, 30 Oct 2024Lol let people buy what phone that they want. There's ... moreWhat performance centric? How does it have better performance than any other Snapdragon 8 Elite phone? This literally isn't a gaming phone or performance centric phone.

                                      By all means anyone can buy what they want. But you buy a redmi for 1000$ and then call it better than Samsung Ultra series. That's just dumb. This iqoo is a downgraded $#!| phone that doesn't compete in its own price bracket with other phones.

                                        RaviSS, 31 Oct 2024Agreed. The camera downgrade is downright shocking. And ... moreYes. Its a Mindrange phone with flagship chip and Flagship price.

                                        And yes, A 1/1.3 inch main camera will always deliver better 2x zoom than a 1/2.9in 2x zoom camera. This sensor is used as front camera on Mindrange phones like Vivo V series and Honor 200. Its one of the dumbest decesion I've ever seen. Would love to see camera comparison of 2x Zoom photos with Iqoo 12.
