iQOO 13

Snapdragon 8 Elite sits at the core here, paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage, so this is firmly a flagship-tier chipset rather than a mid-range compromise. The 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED runs at 144Hz with a 1440 x 3168 resolution and peaks at 1800 nits, which matters if you're often outdoors checking your screen in bright sun. iQOO 13 price in Malaysia starts from RM2550, putting it in direct competition with other 2024 flagship releases.

The camera setup is a triple 50MP array: a 23mm wide with OIS, a 50mm telephoto also with OIS for 2x optical zoom, and a 15mm ultrawide. All three shoot at 50MP, which keeps output consistent across focal lengths, and video tops out at 8K30. Battery is a 6150mAh silicon-carbon cell, larger than most phones in this bracket, and 120W wired charging gets it to full in about 30 minutes on paper.

Build-wise it's rated IP68/IP69 for dust and water resistance, with stereo speakers and Snapdragon Sound covering the audio side, including aptX Lossless and Hi-Res support over Bluetooth. There's no headphone jack, so wireless or USB-C audio is the only route.
