jiyen235, 30 Oct 2024went from flagship camera hardware to midrange cameraphone ... morecrazy to hear saying only 6000mah-6150mah when last year mostly was 5000mah, 5000mah to 6150mah is no small jump and add in SD8 elite is supposably more efficient. next year we probably jump to 6500mah+
They can't make massive jumps otherwise they risking what they can offer next model
I'm very happy with this year's releases regarding battery capacity and chip efficiency we rarely get yearly jumps like that

went from flagship camera hardware to midrange cameraphone camera hardware. HUGE downgrade. Apart from the main cam tho, it's not a huge disadvantage compared to something like the 14T Pro, auxiliary sensor sizes are similar so yeah.
Not a bad phone but considering the fact that the IQOO 12 was perhaps the second or third best phone last year, it kinda stings to see this. Well compared to something like the Find X8, this is not lacking much, only the telephoto camera is "poor" comparatively but it's not like this is horrible. Good enough. Adding RGB was an excellent choice, this feels like a true gaming phone now, has some flare.
Wish the battery was bigger, 6000 mah for the camera packed X200 Pro and "only" 6150 mah for the IQOO 13 seems a tad weird, the IQOO 12's smaller battery was justified cus the cams were great, this has smaller cams so ig the battery coulda been bumped up. Oh well, a decent phone, just soured by the greatness of its predecessor.

As a person that isnt solely focused on camera, rest of the specs look really good seems under rated would be amazing if the Chinese version can be flashed with global rom , I'd might take it over the OnePlus 13 then

Not for me due to the massively downgraded main camera and periscope from the IQOO 12. However plenty of upgrades too in other areas and have to applaud IQOO for being the first and probably only brand not to increase the price. All the other brands have talked about increasing costs and IQOO comes along and gets on with the job and doesn't increase the price. BTW the article says a quad curved display but it's a flat display according to Vivo's own website

Finally the coverage but it so bare bones
This article doesn't talk about the Q2 chipset or it's cheaper price compared to say the OnePlus 13 etc
No statements on the 60fps steady for about 12 hours
Or details on the display technicalities
It is what it is I'm not trying to come off as entitled my intent is just to criticise constructively
Maybe all these releases are pressuring gsmarena staff and this is he best article they could cook up as efficiently as possible
Again it is what it is.. is still think the iqoo 13 is the snapdragon 8 elite underdog
This also has usb 3.2 so it can legitimately run display out stuff like a pc which is an ultra rare feature

"..upgraded cameras .."
The telephoto is actually a huge downgrade from the 3x periscope that the iQOO 12 had.
