The iQOO 13 has the stronger listed core specifications of the two, including the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a higher-resolution 144Hz display, and three 50MP rear cameras. Both phones list a 6,000mAh battery. A current price difference cannot be stated, because the sources checked do not give current prices for both phones in the same country, storage tier and date.
The OnePlus figures come from its UK specification page and the iQOO figures from its India product and store pages. The comparison below therefore reflects what each manufacturer publishes for a given region, not independent testing.

Processor and performance
The OnePlus 13R lists a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and the iQOO 13 lists a Snapdragon 8 Elite, the newer of the two platforms. That is a difference in the published chip, not a measured gap in speed. The sources checked include no independent benchmark, sustained-performance or gaming-temperature test for either phone, so these specifications alone cannot name the faster phone in everyday use.

Display
The iQOO 13 is listed at 6.82 inches with a 3168×1440 resolution and a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. The OnePlus 13R’s UK page lists a smaller 6.78-inch LTPO panel at 2780×1264 that moves between 1Hz and 120Hz. The iQOO panel therefore has more pixels and a higher refresh ceiling. Neither number is a quality score. A refresh rate only matters when the software actually uses it, and the sources checked do not describe how either phone chooses its refresh rate.
The two pages describe different regional versions, so check the display specifications on the page for your own market before relying on them.
Battery and charging
Both phones are listed with a 6,000mAh battery. The equal rating describes cell capacity, not how long either phone will last, because endurance depends on the screen, software and usage. No endurance test was found for either model.
Charging is where the listings diverge:
- OnePlus 13R, UK specification page: 80W SUPERVOOC (OnePlus UK specifications).
- OnePlus 13R, US product page: 55W, with up to 80W when specified adapters are used (OnePlus US product page).
- iQOO 13, India store listing: 120W (iQOO India Store, 12GB/256GB listing).
Check which charger is included in the box in your market. The listings above do not confirm charger inclusion for each region.
Cameras
Both phones are listed with three rear cameras, but the lenses differ. The OnePlus 13R’s UK page lists a 50MP main camera with OIS, a 50MP 2× telephoto and an 8MP ultrawide. The iQOO 13’s India page lists a 50MP main, a 50MP ultrawide and a 50MP 2× telephoto.
The most visible hardware difference is the ultrawide: 8MP on the OnePlus and 50MP on the iQOO. Sensor counts and lens lists do not show which phone takes better photos, and no side-by-side camera test was found for these two models.
Memory and storage
The OnePlus 13R’s UK page lists 12GB LPDDR5X RAM with 256GB UFS 4.0 storage. The iQOO 13 is sold in two configurations on its India store: 12GB with 256GB UFS 4.0, and 16GB with 512GB UFS 4.1. The store listing also mentions an over-the-air upgrade alongside these configurations, but the text does not explain what it covers, so do not assume it applies to a particular storage tier.
The sources checked list no OnePlus 13R configuration matching the 16GB/512GB iQOO option, so compare prices only on tiers both phones actually offer in your market.

Price difference: what the evidence supports
iQOO 13 current listed prices (India)
The iQOO India Store listing shows ₹61,999 for the 12GB/256GB configuration and ₹66,999 for 16GB/512GB. These are page-listed MRPs, not confirmed selling prices, and the selected listings were shown as unavailable when the pages were retrieved in 2026.
iQOO 13 launch prices (December 2024)
An iQOO India Community announcement dated December 3, 2024 gave launch prices of ₹54,999 for 12GB/256GB and ₹59,999 for 16GB/512GB, and named Amazon among the sales channels. These are historical launch figures. The current status of that Amazon listing was not verified.
OnePlus 13R prices
The OnePlus pages checked do not establish a current India retail price for a matching configuration, so no OnePlus figure can be set against the iQOO prices above.
What’s actually slowing this PC down?
Pick the symptom - the matching free tool is one click away.
Subtracting the iQOO MRP from any OnePlus figure would mix a current store MRP with a price from a different source, date, country or offer. The ₹7,000 gap between the iQOO 12GB/256GB MRP and its December 2024 launch price is also not a price trend, because the two figures measure different things.
How to get a like-for-like price
- Choose one country and one storage tier, such as 12GB/256GB on both phones.
- Open the official brand store for each phone in that country and record the listed price, noting whether it is an MRP or a sale price.
- Check at least one retailer for each phone on the same day, and note the seller, stock status and any bank or exchange offer.
- Compare the final payable price, then confirm the charger and network variant included in that listing.
Which phone fits which buyer
- Choose the iQOO 13 if you want the newer listed chipset, the higher display refresh ceiling, the 512GB option, the 50MP ultrawide or the 120W charging on the India listing, and you can buy a matching listing at a price you accept.
- Choose the OnePlus 13R if its listed 80W charging, the OIS on the main camera or the 2× telephoto matter more to you, or if its price for a matching configuration is lower in your market. You need to confirm that price yourself.
Confirm 5G band support on the listing for your market before buying, since it varies by variant.
