The iQOO 13 is now tipped to launch with a more refined IP68-rated build than its predecessor. It is also now once again backed to have a higher-quality display than other upcoming Android flagships, even the supposedly cutting-edge OnePlus 13.

A new Apple A18 Pro gaming test seems to indicate that the new SoC found in the iPhone 16 Pro series is more power-efficient than its current counterparts from Qualcomm and MediaTek.
