Iqoo 13 should be launched in India on December 3, but before him, we had the chance to test the performance of his cameras. The phone was unveiled last month in China and is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Soc, a triple rear camera unit and a 6,150 mAh battery. Although most specifications of the Indian variant are similar, the battery capacity was capped at 6,000 mAh. Telephones in the IQOO series are known for their performance identification information, but IQOO 13 hopes to change this with its camera prowess with a 50 -megapixel triple camera configuration.
IQOO 13 Camera specifications
The IQOO 13 has a primary Sony IMX921 sensor of 50 megapixels with an f / 1.88 opening, an image optical stabilization and an electronic image stabilization. The main camera can also run videos to a resolution up to 8K 30 IPS.
The phone has a 2x telephoto lens
You get another 50 megapixel ultrawid camera that uses the Samsung S5KJN1SQ03 sensor and offers an F / 2.0 opening. Finally, there is a Sony IMX816 telephoto sensor of 50 megapixels with f / 1.85 opening and 2x optical zoom. While the telephoto is a demograd compared to the IQOO 12, which came with a Periscope telephotctive sensor, Iqoo says that the new phone uses Vivo’s image processing, which should help provide better results.
IQOO 13 camera samples
We tested the cameras on the IQO 13 in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates and captured many photos using the three sensors. Although we cannot yet make our verdict, below some samples of the main cameras, ultrairs and telephoto lens that you can consult.
First of all, let’s take a look at daylight and light light photos taken using the 50 megapixel Sony IMX921 rear camera. The photos were taken in the default photo mode.
Day light samples from the main camera fired at 1x (23 mm)
The IQOO 13 takes good photos in daylight. The photos have a lot of details with slightly saturated, but above all realistic colors. The dynamic range and the white balance also seem well balanced, but we have to do more tests to see how the camera works as a whole.
Then, some photos in low light of the main camera.
Main camera samples drawn at 1x (23 mm)
Lowlight performance in the main camera is commendable, especially for a phone whose main sales argument is raw performance. The OIS in the main sensor helps provide less blurred photos. However, we have taken photos in a cruise, which is not the best parameter to take night photos that require that the phone is as motionless as possible.
Here are some samples taken from the Sony IMX816 telephoto lens sensor of 50 megapixels in portrait mode with four different focal lengths.
From top to bottom: 24 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, 100 mm
I was pleasantly surprised by the portrait mode on the IQO 13, but we must test more to see how it works in less ideal conditions. However, detection of the edges could have been better.
There is also an instantaneous mode on the application of the camera which should take clear images of moving images. We have obviously tried this on rapidly evolving cars (2nd stroke below) at Dubai Autodrome. Take a look at some of the photos of the instant mode below. 
The instantaneous function is quite pleasant to have when shooting on moving objects, and as you can see, cars (traveling at more than 200 km / h in the 2nd image) were well taken and are not blurred.
IQOO 13 should be launched in India on December 3. Stay listening to our full exam to know our final verdict on camera performance.
