Author: Yash | Date: Feb 20, 2025 | Time: 6:00 am

Sleek design with a unique pill-shaped camera module, curved profile, and a slim 7.49mm thickness, but the glossy plastic back attracts fingerprints.

Design

6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and 1,800 nits peak brightness, providing excellent sharpness and thin bezels for an immersive experience.

Display

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300, offering strong performance but slightly behind its predecessor, the iQOO Z9.

Performance

5,500mAh battery provides excellent backup, lasting over 16 hours in tests, but 44W charging is slower than competitors like the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite.

Battery

50MP Sony IMX882 OIS + 2MP setup performs decently, but struggles in daylight exposure and low-light conditions compared to rivals. Selfies offer good details, though skin tones can be off.

Camera

Comes with FunTouch OS 14 (Android 14) with smooth animations but pre-installed bloatware.

Software

While the iQOO Z9s delivers solid performance, battery life, and a premium design, it falls short in cameras and charging speed compared to rivals.
