Not only that Iqoo is simply much better in every way than realme They have better main, Ultrawide and selfie camera, their video recording are also better than realme, it also have better hardware with lpddr5x ultra+ufs 4.1 instead of the regular lpddr5x in realme and ufs 4.0 , they also have bypass charge while realme doesn't, while also having a better display with higher refresh rate and resolution The software support is also longer on iqoo 4+5 and 3+4 in realme On top of that the price is also cheaper than realme😂 In my country the price of this iqoo is around $620 and $550 for pre order price

Wireless charging is useful for ppl who has car and work on desk.like in my case my phone get charged passively on my desk and car on weekdays so hardly need to use wall charger.users opting for this segment can have same use as mine

[@adventureofalifetime1547]

​@@techvishz2577 I understand but I don't either. If it's a budget phone flagship like the 1+ 12R, or the Samsung FE phones, I'm ok with them not having wireless charging to save the customers 2-3k. Wireless charging is also less efficient than cable and battery degradation is also more.

If anyone is going to buy iqoo 13 please keep this in mind u will get average software experience which is not going to be matched with current color os from OnePlus or one ui. I'm using iqoo 12 and got Android 15 update and it's okish. The iqoo skin is generally good for daily tasks but feels like using phone from 2020.

Oppo Find X8 is such a steal and noone seems to talk about it.. the phone is price 69,999 for 12/256gb comes with the OnePlus software, OnePlus alert slider , really fast wired and wireless charging, Dimebsity 9400. Excellent Cameras which are a league above budget flagships...huge 5650 mAh battery... All this and here's the crazy part, 7k card discount and 6k extra exchange bonus which makes its effectively 56,999/- which in my opinion is the best value flagship we are gonna see in 2025 which doesn't cut any corners. Ip 68+69, flagship camera with dual prism periscope and Hasselblad colors... wireless charging Premium build. With 5 years of updates.
