Which should you buy?
The iQOO 13 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 9.5 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the iQOO 13 if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. The biggest gaps in its favor are antutu, front camera, ram, among others.
Pick the Nord 4 if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are weight.
Both ship with comparable main camera, 5g support, optical image stabilization, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
