Which should you buy?

Pick the iQOO 13 if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. The biggest gaps in its favor are antutu, battery capacity, pixel density, among others.
Pick the Edge 50 Ultra if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are front camera, weight, wired charging, among others.
Both ship with comparable ram, main camera, refresh rate, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
