As the latest generation phone introduced by Apple, the iPhone 13, despite minimal external changes from its predecessor, comes with significant internal upgrades. Priced similarly to the iPhone 12, does it truly justify the amount spent?
Let's explore with Mytour and find the answer.
1. iPhone 13 Design Review
At first glance, you might not notice much difference between the iPhone 13 and its predecessor. However, in reality, this iPhone has been refined impressively to provide users with a product that meets their usage needs effectively.
The iPhone 13 maintains its edge-to-edge display with ultra-thin borders, giving users a nearly infinite feel without the inconvenience of curved edges seen in many phones on the market. The notch is smaller by 25% compared to its predecessor, providing a more spacious and unobstructed screen view.
The device remains compact and user-friendly for one-handed operation with overall dimensions of 146.7×71.5×7.7mm and a weight of just 174 grams. It features glass on both the front and back, meeting IP68 water resistance standards. In durability tests, the iPhone 13 excels in water and scratch resistance, although using an additional case is still recommended.
The main camera setup on the iPhone 13 has a redesigned structure, with the cameras symmetrically arranged at a 45-degree angle, setting it apart from the side-by-side arrangement on the iPhone 12. This design brings high symmetry while maintaining the sleekness of the rear camera setup.
Currently available in 5 different colors, the pink variant of the iPhone 13 is particularly anticipated, praised for its gentle yet elegant appearance, surpassing the rose gold hues of previous iPhone generations.
Overall, in terms of design, the iPhone 13 impresses users with its compactness and sophisticated aesthetics.
2. iPhone 13 Design Review
Apple equips the iPhone 13 with a 6.1-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display, boasting impressive visuals. Colors are displayed with high accuracy, supporting the DCI-P3 color standard.
Alongside a reduced notch design, the iPhone 13's display earns praise for its quality and provides comfortable usage space, especially for gaming or meeting the graphic demands of creative professionals.
The weakness of the iPhone 13 display lies in its 60Hz refresh rate, whereas many smartphones in the same price range support refresh rates of 90Hz, 120Hz, or even 160Hz. While this may not significantly impact everyday use, it does impose limitations, especially in graphics-intensive gaming.
3. iPhone 13 Performance Review
Performance has always been a strong point for iPhones, and the iPhone 13 is no exception. It features the A15 Bionic chip, manufactured on the 5nm+ process, with over 4.2 billion transistors, surpassing the A14 chip. Alongside AI optimization, this chip enhances processing speed while ensuring energy efficiency.
The GPU on the iPhone 13 has more cores than its predecessor, improving the device's capability to handle graphics-intensive tasks.
With increased RAM capacity and a minimum internal storage of 128GB, the iPhone 13 excels in multitasking, providing ample storage space for users, especially as 4K videos become more prevalent.
The iPhone 13 is equipped with iOS 15, optimizing both the user interface and applications, enhancing the overall experience for users.
4. iPhone 13 Camera Review
Apple maintains the same hardware on the iPhone 13 camera, featuring a 12MP+12MP dual main camera setup and a 12MP front camera. However, it introduces new photo capture features, including:
– Photographic Styles: allows users to capture photos with preferred tones and settings, similar to filters on other smartphones but with a smarter touch.
– Cinematic Mode: enables professional video recording with automatic subject-focused shifting, delivering authentic and impressive footage.
Overall, the camera quality of the iPhone 13 is impressive, but when compared to smartphones in its price range, some photo functions fall behind, and certain aspects like detail and zoom shots may be less remarkable.
With a larger battery, the iPhone 13 optimizes its processing chip to extend usage time. The support for fast charging up to 23W also provides users with a quicker charging experience, adding convenience.
Notably, with 5G connectivity, the phone will enhance users' web access speed in the future as 5G becomes more widely available.
Currently, official Apple distributors in Vietnam allow users to pre-order the iPhone 13 at a price starting from 24,990,000 VND. This price is considered reasonable when compared to the features equipped in this phone. Therefore, users can confidently make their choice.
