Eye-Protective Display
Setting a new standard in eye protection, iQOO 13 features OLED Circular Polarization Technology, backed by TÜV Rheinland and vivo Visual Health Labs certifications. The advanced screen employs 2592 Hz PWM Dimming to minimize flicker and reduce eye fatigue, making it easier on the eyes during extended use. Furthermore, the spacious 6.82-inch flat screen is wear-, scratch-, and dust-resistant. To be clear, this ensures longevity while maintaining optimal performance over time.
Unstoppable Power
iQOO 13 redefines battery performance with a colossal equivalent (TYP) 6000 mAh to equivalent (TYP) 6150 mAh battery that delivers exceptional endurance without compromising on design. Supported by a robust 7000 mm² vapor chamber, the battery improves heat dissipation efficiency across the surface area by 17%. With 120W FlashCharge technology, the iQOO 13 offers ultra-fast charging, minimizing downtime and keeping users powered up and ready for anything.
