EDITORIAL: As last year, Vivo's subbrand IQOO released it's top phone as soon as the best Snapdragon chip became available. This year there is no Pro model, just one amazing gaming powerhouse with a 6000+mAh Silicon Carbon battery that provides exceptional battery runtime. The screen is also outstanding, performing better than most flagships. If you can live with a good (but not great) cameras and you're okay with a phone this big - IQOO 13 (and OnePlus 13) should be at the top of your list.
