Even though the iQOO 13 has a bigger screen, it is the sharper and brighter of the two. However, those looking for a smaller-screen phone can surely go with the Find X8.
iQOO 13 vs. Oppo Find X8: Performance
Under the hood, the iQOO 13 runs on Qualcomm’s latest mobile platform, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. It features an octa-core CPU with two 4.32 GHz prime scores and six 3.53 GHz performance cores. With a powerful processor, the phone features up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage.
The chipset is based on TSMC’s N3E fabrication technology, which consumes 44% less power than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Further, the chipset features the Adreno 830 GPU and a capable NPU that supports on-device multimodal Gemini Nano. As tested on the Realme GT 7 Pro, the chipset scores about 2.7 million points on the AnTuTu 10 benchmark and 3,217/9,509 points on the single/multi-core GeekBench 6 benchmark test.
Along with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the iQOO 13 comes with a custom Q2 gaming chip that helps with super-resolution (2K) gameplay while maintaining higher frame rates (144 fps). Hence, if your priority is gaming, iQOO 13 should provide slightly better results than Find X8.
