Gaming test - iQOO 13 with Snapdragon 8 Elite + Q2 chip!

[@peanuts7632]

27:00 bro did not even last 5 seconds💀

[@Kaine-fe4fs]

😭😭😭he is the fastest man alive😊

[@grifKrow]

😂😭😭

[@bumbeelegends7018]

Iqoo thermal control is just mind blowing 🎉

[@llaxus9279]

That Q2 chip uses AI to generate frames in games. The feature is called frame interpolation.

[@Rocket_browser]

So basically fsr or dlss

[@llaxus9279]

@Rocket_browser yup

[@Alpha_is-online-AXA]

You are correct but the Q2 chip inside the iqoo 13 is not responsible for the frame interpolation Sd 8 elite can do that now without any external chip

[@thelastyaksha]

I had that frame interpolation on my Realme Gt neo 5 woth sd8+g1 and it was awful, totally unusable.

[@abdullahjadoon8363]

Idk why youtube didn't recommend your recent videos but i was really interested for the latest testing. Keep up the great work

[@jinx3709]

I already pre-ordered, can't wait to try it out by myself.

[@jeffs_2839]

sameee, but i order china version for better OS and way cheaper price

[@publicitytop]

19:09 Agreed, watching genshin gameplay after playing WuWa seems clunky

[@farel3382]

I obviously didn't clicked this video because of the thumbnails

[@PeakyBrowne]

Not sure but I think if you take a screenshot (in game or built in) and check it at the gallery, I'll show the pixel size?

[@NasiLemakTech]

Nope. That's the screen resolution

[@PeakyBrowne]

@NasiLemakTech oh, okay 😁

[@2lwxj0]

​@@NasiLemakTech he means like the camera in genshin and if you check the resolution in gallery it shows the actual resolution (i have a snapdragon 8 gen 3 and it shows 1920x877 which is actually the resolution of a gen 3)

[@2lwxj0]

​@@NasiLemakTechif you want me to send you proof/how to do it give me your x/insta

[@NasiLemakTech]

Got it. Didn't know it works this way. Thanks for that

[@About.ComP.Z]

Legend(white) or Alpha(black) has different thermal dissipation? Legend has glass back. The alpha has glass fiber back?

[@NasiLemakTech]

AFAIK same texture, just different color

[@nich-nk2cs1]

I suspect the ultra high is scaling to native resolution, but dropping it to 30fps. Xiaomi has something similiar, Geekerwan got a xiaomi phone to run 1220p 30fps, when the regular resolution at the time was 720p.

[@hopsonyt8262]

3:19 is there any other phone that has this "BYPASS CHARGING" feature?? Apart from some Samsungs and these gaming phones .....

[@NasiLemakTech]

Samsung, ROG Phone, I think Sony has it too?

[@bangwibu]

what app did you use for monitoring thermal cpu gpu?

[@RafaelCostaCarvalho-th3yf]

Why did the fps fluctuate at the beginning of the video?

[@rimonpradhan7777]

[@iitcse2934]

Bro is there any difference in fos when playing with bypass charging?,please reply i am very curious about it

[@benbeckmann2831]

27:10 what do you mean fps are pretty solid?? So 35fps most of the time is pretty solid for you?

[@bum-eye.]

either the game optimization is bad, or the software/os limitations, for mobile phone actually 30-40fps is a solid peformance tho, logically for me, if i want full peformance and smoothness, i prefer pc gaming/console/handheld, but still, even i dont have these 3 thing tho😂 this selling point of this phone is the impressive cooling to me, i dont know, but iqoo has a great job around that, and impresive battery peformance (iqoo z9 test, majority say that) when i have budget, i will buy that phone too

[@mrarron1174]

Sir how come some devices that like have MD9000 don't have 120fps on codm but X6 Pro's DM8300 U can handle 120fps? Is it just Optimization issue or Phone brand bias. Will other capable phones have future update for much better optimization? Thankyou

[@edwardsutherland8240]

sure hope those frame manipulations dont cause a ban on moba and fps games

[@NasiLemakTech]

I think it won't 🤔 But it truly depends on how the frame interpolation is done

[@aleksdeveloper698]

40 degree celsius that is crazy, my M2 iPad pro gets overheated when I set it 120hz, not sure if this phone can go 120hz in Genshin. But on Zenless Zone Zero I dont like it when it drops below 60, probably an optimization problem on Android cuz on the ipad pro it runs perfectly

[@lab0004]

tbh the numbers dont seem as good as the oppo find x8 pro despite the x8's lower thermal limit especially in games like zzz where the oppo managed to do 50 ish fps with a few frame dips until the end, was waiting for the results on this and considered on getting it and trying windows emulation but the processor seems a little premature currently even with a relatively "cool" tuning iqoo did as compared to other 8 elite phones. Thank you for always mentioning the ambient temperatures whenever you do a test, most channels don't even bother doing it despite ambient temperature having quite an impact on how the phone performs, was seeing other reviews on 8 elite phones that did like 38-41c under heavy loads but they didn't bother mentioning the ambient temperature so it was relatively useless since the viewers won't have a clear reference point when comparing results from 1 video to another

[@user-wb9tu6en3o]

bro..After watching both videos, what I want to teach you is that the ZZZ on the Find X8 Pro started after a short session of playing Genshin Impact, while in this video, Genshin Impact was played for a longer time before transitioning to ZZZ. So, comparing the two videos doesn't make sense because there was no control over the variables. There’s no basic control over things like the starting temperature of the phone, how long it was played, or whether it was played on the same map. How can we compare these two videos when these factors are not controlled? At least NL Tech is unprofessional, and since they don't control variables like brightness and temperature, this should only be seen as a simple reference. It shouldn't be taken as an absolute standard for evaluation, as this video is not very accurate

[@lab0004]

@@user-wb9tu6en3o sure lets say how long the guy played genshin impact actually mattered, then why is it that by the time hes playing wuthering waves theres not much fps difference between the two phones? and besides iqoo only played 6 minutes of zzz whilst oppo played for like 10 minutes so technically oppo would have had worse prolonged result since zzz is relatively more demanding than genshin impact sure the test isn't 1:1 but its still useful as a reference point

[@user-wb9tu6en3o]

@@lab0004 You're not understanding my words properly. Is it difficult to understand that these two videos have absolutely no variable control? The same map, the same time, the same temperature - none of these three were maintained. So, what reference value do these videos have? The two videos should be evaluated separately, not assessed on the same level. No professional reviewer would ever present such a video as evidence where even the most basic variable control is not implemented. If you cannot understand this, it means your expertise is lacking, and I have nothing more to say to you. rip

​@@ANURAGPARAB07Are you freaking blind? That device is struggling to run even a basic game like ZZZ and the framerate in other games is on par with a SD 8 Gen 3. As always, iQOO messed up optimising the chipset on iQOO 13 and people are still gonna overlook it as the device would always perform well in BGMI/PUBGM.

[@IndianUser-m7n]

Guys spread my word! The iQOO devices are always worse performing than other devices wirh the same chipset. Just take a look at how OnePlus 13, Xiaomi 15 or the Redmagics perform in the same games. This has been the case with iQOO 12 and iQOO Neo 9 Pro (I used to own it, and surprisingly, this device could hardly run Genshin Impact at a stable framerate- something that 12R and even S23 managed) as well. These devices only perform well in games like BGMI, while in case of others, the effect of poor optimisation becomes visible.

[@batsoupp]

Do you think it's because iqoo keeps the temperature lower?

[@IndianUser-m7n]

@batsoupp Might be, but it shouldn't be the reason. Even a SD 8 Gen 3 can maintain 60 FPS in ZZZ all the time without heating up much (can confirm as I use a OnePlus 12), but just take a look at how atrocious the performance is on iQOO 13 despite having a 8 Gen Elite. Other devices like Xiaomi 15 on the other hand can maintain a steady framerate.

[@batsoupp]

@@IndianUser-m7n yeah I also saw the OnePlus 13 handle the games consistently without losing fps. I wonder why this is happening, the iqoo even has a Q2 chip. I wanted to get the iqoo because of that bypass charging and the gaming chip as well.. now I'm kinda undecided. The OnePlus doesn't have a bypass charging as well as the vivos

[@hitie6792]

It's mostly software related. In other tech testers (which count more factors such as the condition of the phone, brightness, wifi +5g signal, etc), iqoo does a similar result as 1+ 13 the only thing different compabilities on different games (for example, iqoo13 have a better thermal and performance in genshin while 1+ does a better job in hsr) For now RealGT7pro and Xiao15Pro have the worst cpu scheduling compared to the rest of 8elite smartphones.

[@batsoupp]

@@hitie6792 hii can you link me the videos or tests that you watched? I was just wondering like the iqoo should blow past the OnePlus or even beat it outright in every game because of the q2 chip right? I've seen the OnePlus videos getting nearly consistent fps on every game 🥹
