Compare Mobile Phones Side-by-Side

The vivo X500 looks like the more practical phone for most people here. Its 7500mAh battery is the big separator, and that matters far more day to day than a slightly faster refresh rate. You still get a smooth 144Hz display, 12GB of RAM, and a more manageable 6.59-inch size, so it doesn’t feel like you’re sacrificing the core experience just to gain endurance.

The iQOO 13 Pro is the flashier pick. Its larger 6.8-inch 165Hz screen and Qualcomm processor make it the more performance-leaning option, especially if your priority is gaming or you simply want the biggest, fastest-feeling display of the two. But the 5000mAh battery makes it less convincing as an all-day workhorse beside the vivo.

If battery life and everyday usability matter most, I’d lean toward the vivo X500. Choose the iQOO 13 Pro only if display size, refresh rate, and Qualcomm hardware are higher on your list than maximum endurance.
