The iQOO 13 lists the higher-tier chipset, a sharper 144Hz display and three 50MP rear cameras; the OnePlus 13R has a 50MP 2× telephoto camera and an 8MP ultrawide. Both list 6,000mAh batteries. A reliable current price difference cannot be calculated from the available figures: the iQOO India store shows listed MRPs but marks the selected phones unavailable, and no matching current OnePlus India price is established.
OnePlus 13R vs iQOO 13: specifications
This comparison uses OnePlus’s UK specifications for the 13R and iQOO’s India product information and store listings for the iQOO 13. Because the pages describe different regional versions, treat charging rates, configurations and prices as market-specific rather than universal specifications.

Chipset
The iQOO 13 lists Snapdragon 8 Elite, while the OnePlus 13R lists Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. That gives iQOO the newer and higher-tier platform on paper, but chipset names alone do not establish comparative everyday speed, sustained performance, gaming temperatures or battery use. No side-by-side test is established here.

Display
The iQOO India page lists more pixels and a higher maximum refresh rate: 3168 × 1440 at up to 144Hz, compared with the OnePlus UK page’s 2780 × 1264 LTPO display with a dynamic 1–120Hz range. Those figures describe resolution and refresh capability, not overall display quality; they do not by themselves establish brightness, color accuracy or which screen looks better.
Battery and charging
Both manufacturers list 6,000mAh capacity, which is a tie on stated capacity—not proof of equal battery life. The cited regional charging specifications differ: OnePlus lists 80W SUPERVOOC for the UK version, while iQOO’s India store lists 120W. OnePlus’s US product page separately states 55W and notes up to 80W with specified adapters, so check the local model and compatible charger before comparing charging claims: OnePlus US product page.
Rear cameras
Both phones list a 50MP main camera and 50MP 2× telephoto. The OnePlus 13R’s third rear camera is an 8MP ultrawide; iQOO lists a 50MP ultrawide. OnePlus specifies optical image stabilization on its main camera. Megapixel counts and camera hardware do not establish the better photo or video result, and no direct camera comparison is available here.
OnePlus 13R vs iQOO 13 price difference
The official iQOO India Store pages retrieved for this comparison list ₹61,999 for 12GB/256GB and ₹66,999 for 16GB/512GB. The selected products are marked unavailable, so these are page-listed MRPs, not confirmed prices at which a buyer can currently complete a purchase. See the 12GB/256GB listing and 16GB/512GB listing.

For historical context only, an iQOO India Community announcement dated December 3, 2024 reported launch prices of ₹54,999 for 12GB/256GB and ₹59,999 for 16GB/512GB, and named Amazon among the sales channels. These are launch figures, not current market prices: iQOO India Community launch announcement.
The available OnePlus pages do not establish a current India price for a matching configuration. As a result, there is no supported current like-for-like price difference to report. To compare offers, use the same country, storage tier and date, and distinguish a live seller price from a manufacturer’s listed MRP or a historical launch price.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Which one should you choose?
- Consider the iQOO 13 if the specifications you prioritize are Snapdragon 8 Elite, a higher listed display resolution and refresh rate, a 50MP ultrawide, or the India-listed 120W wired charging rate.
- Consider the OnePlus 13R if you prefer its listed 50MP 2× telephoto and OIS-equipped main camera, or if its price and availability in your market work better for you.
- Compare local variants before buying if your decision depends on price, included charger, storage, network compatibility or stock. The regional pages cited here do not form a same-market price comparison.
These are specification-based distinctions, not a tested performance, endurance or camera verdict. For OnePlus’s North American launch context, see its official press release.
