good phone

This is my first iqoo device and i must say its amazing. There are more pros in device than cons and I must say no other phone can beat this in this particular price segment. Design and Build (9/10)- The phone feels quite sleek and comfortable in hand. Weighing just about 180g and about 7.5mm thick. This phone is by far the slimmest and lightest 5500Mah phone I have ever seen. Even slimmer and slighter than many 5000Mah phone is the market. Ther design language is taken from newly launched Vivo v40 series and this phone is exact replica or little toned down version of Vivo V40e. So you are getting a 28k V40e phone under 20k. A sweet deal right. Display(8.5/10) -- The display is a typical 120Hz, Oled panel with deep black and around 1000 nits of peak brightness which is more than enough in outdoor environment. Colours are punchy and crisp. You get different colour modes which you can set as per your taste. Camera (9/10)- Camera is just outstanding. I have never seen such an amazing low light performance from any 15-20k phones in the recent times. The camera balances light very well and even in backlite situation the photos are amazing. The 2x potraits are awesome coupled with various background bokeh modes. Colours are good and dynamic range is fantastic. This phone is camera beast in 18k and I must say Well done Iqoo. They focused on giving 1 very good camera rather than two or three average cameras. Many brands give useless 8MP wide angle camera and mediocre primary camera in this range. If wide angle is your priority than you can go with Iqoo z9s pro model. Performance(9/10)-- This phone can handle days to day task very smoothly with no zitter or lag. Games run smoothly and 60 fps constant in BGMI. Not much cpu throttling or heating issue seen so far. This phone has antutu of around 700k which is very good for mid rangers under 20k. Battery (10/10)-- Battery is just another major USP of this phone. I don't know how they were able to provide such high quality 5500mah battery in such a slim and lightweight phone. The battery backup in normal usage with 120Hz and 5g enable is around 12 Hours(SOT) and if you disable 120Hz and use Wifi the SOT can reach as high as 16Hours(Look at the screenshot). Mind blowing right?. I too was shocked when I used this phone full 2 days with sot of 16 hours. For gamers this can last about 7-8 hours of continuous gaming and for casual users like me easily 1.5 to 2 days on wifi and 1.5 days on 5g. No heating issues while charging and time taken for full charge is 1hour with 45W vivo flash charger. Software and other features (7/10)-- The funtouch os 14 though very feature rich is not regarded among the top skins in android world but I must say funtouch has been improving a lot in past 3-4 years and is slowly adopting to stock android looks. The main issue which I faced is animation are not very smooth and UI elements lack a consistency in design language (edit-After funtouch OS15 ui is very smooth and animation are silky smooth now). Sometimes minimising an app shows double animation. Btw I have not faced any hanging issue in this phone. Bloatware are present and many can't be disabled as well like vstore,vivo browser jovi home etc. color os or realme os atleast allow user to disable such bloatwares. Vivo should introduce origin os in India as well. Widgets are very poor and there is no option of big app folders as well(after android 15 feature is added) Speakers, Haptics and connectivity- Speakers are stereo and quite loud. Not louder than many realme or moto phones but when increasing the volume boost upto 300 percent the sound is indeed very loud though bass is less. Haptics are not x axis linear 4d motor which you see in many midrange and flagship these days but normal Ghurr Ghurr type vibration motor. Connectivity is very good no issues with 4g or 5g. Even VoNR is supported in this phone. Overall it is a very good phone under 20k. Hope all the software optimisations like animation, icons and widgets get polished in funtouch os 15. Update- After funtouch os 15 update animation is now more smoother than before and new widgets are also added.

Good 👍

delivers smooth performance for daily use and gaming. Apps run seamlessly, and multitasking is hassle-free. The display is bright and vibrant, making videos and browsing enjoyable. Battery life easily lasts a full day, and fast charging is a big plus. The Titanium Matte finish looks classy and feels premium in hand. Overall, a great value-for-money smartphone with solid features.

Review after almost 1 month of Usage. Display: The 120Hz Curved Amoled 10Bit Display is really excellent but there is a Display Grey issue that Happens usually in low brightness mode and many times in battery saver mode where the dark & grey parts of the display turns complete grey and the phone shifts the colors. I went to the service centre with this issue but they said that this is not an issue! It's a software feature in the FUNTOUCH OS. Performance: Excellent- Best Performance in the Price. Camera: Great- Portrait photos are amazing, Normal camera & Night Mode is also good. "Wide Angle Camera" is missing which is a must have for this price segment. Portrait Mode has some lag in it but that is because of the UI. Also the Video lags in the Preview but there is no lag in the time of playback. Video quality is Great. Battery: Good- I had expected more from this 5500mAh battery. I used a 5000mAh battery phone earlier which gave a better battery backup. This phone has 4nm processor, amoled display and a better battery still is not able to provide a little extra. Moreover the idle drain is more than average. It drains 5% battery overnight(8hrs) when kept on wifi. (Battery saver on & Autostart for all apps off). Sound: Okay- The Speaker does not have Bass. At 100% The sound is low compared to any other phone. The sound quality is fine but not upto the mark. At 300% The Volume is Great, but with zero bass there is no fun in the Audio. So you need to plug in earphones or use speakers to enjoy music because this phone will really disappoint you in terms of Sound. Connectivity: Great: Never had issues with connectivity so good for me. In hand Feel: Great- With the Slim Design and Curve Display, the phone Looks Gorgeous. All Cons in One Line: No Wide Angle Camera, Sound Quality is Not Satisfactory, Software is Not Smooth, Camera App is Laggy, Display Grey Issue (See the video Attached).
