Finally, the wait is over, the two new smartphones are added into the market iQOO 13 and Xiaomi 15 and the best part is both phones come with the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite generation. Xiaomi released it on 29th October 2024 in China and on the next day, iQOO launched its new smartphone. Now users are curious to find which model provides customers with the best deal. So without wasting a second, let’s directly jump into our topic and compare both phone specs, price, speed, and battery so that you can make an informed decision.
Display Quality
When it comes to Display Quality, the iQOO 13 wins the race as it comes with a 6.82 inches LTPO AMOLED screen with a touch resolution of 1440 x 3168 pixels. Apart from this, the iQOO 13 has a 10-bit color accuracy and depth, HDR10+ support, and 144HZ refresh rate so that you can smoothly enjoy your gameplay and movie experience.
Another one is Xiaomi 15 which offers a 6.36-inch LTPO OLED layouts screen with a pixel density of 1200×2670. The Xiaomi offers 10-bit color, Dolby Atom Vision, HDR10+, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The only drawback in Xiaomi 15 is that they did not offer 144Hz refresh rate like the one on the IQOO 13. This is something that could be notable when you watch any video or play your favorite game.
Performance and Storage
In terms of performance, both phones come with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 processor which means both the devices will easily handle multitasking, hardcore gaming as well as high-end applications. Both phones have 16GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of storage which is enough for those users who like to store songs, videos, games, and applications.
Both phones also come with Android 15 based interfaces, which means you can experience new interfaces and the latest security patches. However, in iQOO 13, the company offers five variants while Xiaomi 15 only offers four variants. This makes iQOO have a slightly better offering of the user’s preferred option when it comes to preferred storage.
Camera Setup
When it comes to photography, both smartphones offer a triple camera setup with the main 50 MP camera and OIS for better stability and sharper image quality in pictures:
- iQOO 13: On this smartphone, there is a 50MP camera with OIS, and 50MP telephoto lens with 2x Optical zoom, and a 50 MP ultra-wide lens. Overall this setup is useful for most photography needs.
- Xiaomi 15: The Xiaomi 15 came with a 50 MP main camera with OIS + 50MP telephoto lens but with stronger 3x optical zoom and a 50 MP ultra-wide lens. This 3x zoom may particularly matter much to those who often require to take shots from a distance and with higher resolution.
Both smartphone camera setups are strong, but if you’re looking for more zoom power, the Xiaomi 15 may have the edge.
Battery & Charging Capacity
Battery is the most important part of any smartphone and we always look for a phone which has impressive capacity. Below are the details of the iQOO 13 & Xiaomi 15 battery capacity.
- iQOO 13: The iQOO 13 has a huge battery capacity i.e. 6150mAh, with max charging rates up to 120W. This high-capacity battery and super-fast charging make it possible to charge up quickly when using the phone heavily.
- Xiaomi 15: The Xiaomi 15 is equipped with a 5400mAh battery and is compatible with 90W quick charging, 50W wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging. However, the battery here is somewhat smaller, the Xiaomi 15 includes fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging so that you can charge other devices easily.
Price Comparison
In terms of price, both the phones have a huge gap which can be observed. The Xiaomi 15 has been priced at CNY 4,499(around ₹53,000) whereas the iQOO 13 has been priced at CNY 3,999 (around ₹47,000). If there is a price issue, then we suggest you to go with the iQOO 13 as it is cheaper than Xiaomi 15.
Final Talk:
We prefer the iQOO 13 smartphone if you prefer to work with a larger screen and play video games, and the best part is you can save ₹5,000 as well. If you wish to have a slightly more portable device with even stronger optical zoom (3x), wireless, and reverse charging, go for Xiaomi 15. This smartphone is best suited for those customers who feel the need to have flexible charging options and higher zoom for capture. The only drawback is that it is slightly higher in price.
