The iQOO 13 handles heavy gaming, but we did experience some hiccups. The design leans a bit too much toward the iPhone look, with subtle changes that could have been more refined. The display is excellent, boosted by the 144Hz refresh rate, while the camera is decent, though improvements are needed in telephoto, low-light, and portrait shots. Overall, this phone isn’t a huge leap from the iQOO 12, but software updates could improve things. If you’re after better camera performance and slightly more power, the Realme GT 7 Pro is worth considering.

The Pixel 9 Pro XL feels like the new standout in the Pixel family. It nails the premium look—sleek design, sharp camera module, and a selfie camera that captures every detail, right down to skin texture and hair follicles.
