    Criticizing the iqoo 13 because of the camera is fair, but tbh I would neither consider nor recommend the iQoo to anyone who gives any kind of preference to camera.

      Can't agree more on iqoo 13, but their decision is tolerable, vivo is a camera centric brand, it would be weird if their flagship camera phone have the same on-paper camera spec with their gaming/budget performance phone.

              Iqoo13 loser? Nah I don't think so, it's much better than realme gt7 pro while still being cheaper, I think you better put vivo Y series as the loser side, besides iqoo is a sub brand and not direct series of vivo

                Not sure why you didn't put the Mini's lack of global availability as a "loser", since I might have gotten one otherwise.

                  Iqoo 13 is winner.

                        potato4k, 31 Dec 2024Vivo is all winner in my book. They did a really good job. ... moreDon't compare iQOO and Poco. Poco delivers in really low budget category. iQOO prices their phone in different category.

But I will prefer iQOO 12 over OnePlus 12. Camera is biggest downgrade on iQOO 13. iQOO 13 should have kept camera hardware of iQOO 12 and should have increased the price. I hope iQOO 14 uses OV50K/LYT 818.

                              calling iqoo 13 looser? In india u get this for 51000/- yes camera was bit led down so what.Apart from this iqoo 13 is most hot selling mobile in india,a country with largest population,teenagers are enjoying games on this due to cooling chamber.
                              I say iqoo 13 is a king of 2024

                                David 040882, 31 Dec 2024And you going to ignore the smaller main camera sensor and ... moreiQOO 13 should have kept the same camera hardware of iQOO 12 for 700-720USD. I hope iQOO 14 switches to OV50K or OV50X.

Other than that, fantastic phone for the price. I would not have mind 750USD for OV50H for main, IMX890/IMX858 for portraits, JN5 for Ultrawide. It's time for iQOO to get OV50K for iQOO 14.

                                      Vivo phones not cheap
