Not to mention, A type 1/1.7 sensor simply wouldn't fit inside Xperia's thin body without a huge camera bump.

      Sony's processing on a tele camera is also very primitive and is not doing a good job of compensating for a relatively small lens aperture - Details are clearly overprocessed during the day and noises run over the entire frame in low light.

            But cropped.

            It is f2.3 - f2.8, still you complain. But keeps silent when other put f4.0 at 120mm.

            Should learn before making scandal.

                  Very nice phone for Perfect Price... Also, it has an IR Blaster Ability... It means, I can command any TV, DVD, Laser Disc Player, Blu RAY Player and all otherd Remote Controled Electronic Devices on Earth, as an "Universal Remote Control"
                  I'm gonna buy White One, even if doesnt like BMW Motorized Vehicles on Earth...

                    Akthanakos, 28 Nov 2024Nope, not even redmi k80 pro beats iqoo 13(close though), s... moreThere's the ultra version also, but it will be too expensive I guess...

                      They should have kept the same rear camera setup as iqoo 12. That would have made iqoo 13 the best budget SD 8 Elite phone.

                        The K80 Pro doesn't aim for 'absolute' performance at all, but aims for a performance/consumption balance.

                        Furthermore, it costs much less than the iQOO 13 and I find it aesthetically more pleasing to the eye. (elegant)

                            Qualcomm wanted bragging rights and put out a chip that falls to 50% when gaming effectively ending up slower than chips much older. Nice one

                              Anonymous, 28 Nov 2024You're way exaggerating on Sony's part lol. 4K di... moretheir speakers are front facing but not the highest quality, their photos aren't that great, i've seen a lot of samples as well. And at that price, what's the point of having a microSD card slot if i can just get a 1 TB chinese Ultra and get a FiiO KA1/KA3? Absurdly priced with nothing going for it.

                                jiyen235, 28 Nov 2024whilst i do agree with that, you have to keep in mind that ... moreYou're way exaggerating on Sony's part lol. 4K display on a 6.5 inch display is overkill and unnecessary, their zoom camera is not too great but still fine, and their photo processing is controlled very well. It's far from a disgrace just because they changed some things and didn't improve the camera hardware further.

                                The Xperia 1 VI is still very much an enthusiast's phone. Sure you can get better cameras and overall hardware on other flagships, but no other company besides Sony are willing to put front-facing stereo speakers, headphone jack, and a card slot in one complete package.

                                  JimmyTheGreatest, 28 Nov 2024I wonder if the upcoming Poco F7 can beat this iQOO 13. Xia... moreNope, not even redmi k80 pro beats iqoo 13(close though), so poco f7 will be miles behind this.

(it won't cost a shotgun for your pockets and a kidney sold) What was supposed to be the power point of a Realme GT7 Pro, but which was not. And if I'm not mistaken, the price of this iQOO 13 promises to be another shot for the pockets and double kidney bones sold, if it were to land in the international market.
