Let the product be fun, let the results be direct, and "Material Evaluation" only does the evaluation content that you care about the most.
On the morning of December 24, the iQOO mall quietly launched a new iQOO U series machine, the iQOO U5. While today's high-priced flagships can provide a great experience, a large proportion of the population in our daily lives still needs or is using more affordable products. So today, let me take you to experience together, how about the use experience of this iQOO U5? Is it worth getting started?
1 Get started with the first experience
In this era when the average weight of mobile phones is close to half a kilogram, it is difficult to get started with the iQOO U5, and it is difficult not to dislike its thin and light feel. The 6.58-inch screen only weighs 185g, and it will not be tired when holding for a long time.

It is worth noting that the 6.58-inch high-definition waterdrop screen on the front of the fuselage, according to the official introduction, not only uses in-cell full lamination technology, but also has an eye protection mode, which can effectively filter out harmful blue light. At the same time, this 6.58-inch LCD screen also supports a maximum 120Hz refresh rate and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz, which is quite smooth to use.
The iQOO U5 features a new textured design on the back of the body, which enhances the texture while bringing a good touch. In the lens part in the upper left corner, iQOO U5 this time moved some careful thinking, the lens module outside made some extensions, according to the official introduction of this design is called "visual cloud level", through the visual natural ladder transition, cleverly combine the camera with the design of the back of the phone, bringing a unique visual experience.

The iQOO U5 adopts a classic 2.5D right-angle frame design on the side of the fuselage, the left side of the fuselage is from top to bottom, the volume key and the power button with integrated fingerprint sensor; the upper part of the fuselage is sim, Micro SD two-in-one card slot and microphone opening; the bottom of the fuselage is the Type-C interface, speakers and 3.5mm headphone jack.
Overall, the overall design of the iQOO U5 is simple and not simple, through a simple combination of lines to outline the vibrant design of the iQOO U5, and the two-scene lens, the R angle of the camera frame line, and the rounded flash form a round visual feeling, simple and generous.
2,000 yuan can also take good photos
For a thousand-dollar product, I didn't have much hope for his image strength at first, but it brought an unexpected video experience in the actual experience.
First of all, the main camera part with the highest frequency of users, with the blessing of 50 million high-definition pixels, ensures the imaging quality of iQOO U5. Through the actual samples we can see that the overall quality of the photos is still remarkable. Both the sharpness of the photo and the degree of reproduction of the color of the scene are quite good. As you can see through the lines of the house, the iQOO U5 is also quite reasonable in controlling the degree of sharpening of the photo.

Let's look at this sample in a low-light environment. Although it is not very good, the highlights of the photo are not exposed, and there are details in the low light, which shows that the iQOO U5 is still good for the basic imaging quality in the low light environment. And the noise control in the sample is also very good, the dynamic range is also very high, and the overall picture gives people a very transparent look.

Thanks to a 2 million macro lens, although the overall pixel is not high, it improves the playability of the iQOO U5 imaging system. Look at this macro sample, which is usually an inconspicuous pile of stones on the side of the road, but through the macro lens, it can record the beauty of details that are usually difficult to find.

Through some samples taken with us, we can find that even if it is a thousand-dollar price model, iQOO U5 still has a good image performance, for ordinary users, using iQOO U5 to record the beautiful moments in life is more than enough.
3 This is probably the best machine I've ever had
For the price of 1,000 yuan, battery life should be the most serious problem of "inner volume". In addition to the expansion of battery capacity by various manufacturers through stacking, the tuning of core processors is also particularly important. Therefore, in addition to the 5000mAh ultra-large battery, the iQOO U5 also chooses to be equipped with a high-performance and low-power Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 octa-core processor.
We first tested the performance of this processor, AnTutu scored about 380,000 points, "Glory of kings" and "Peace Elite" set at the highest quality play, stable at 60 frames, the game experience is very smooth. For the average user, it is basically enough.

So how does the iQOO U5 optimize the energy consumption of this Snapdragon 695 octa-core processor? We decided to go from 100% to completely drain the power of this iQOO U5 by playing Glory of Kings. Originally my expectation for this test was no more than 5 hours.
Glory of Kings endurance test
The result took a total of 7 hours and 55 minutes, which was completely unexpected, and even changed testers several times in the middle. It is worth noting that the iQOO U5 frame rate can always be stable at 60 frames during play, and there is no stuttering. The phone's back for a long time is only slightly warm, which is enough to see that the iQOO U5 is quite in place for the optimization of this Snapdragon 695.
Of course, this test is more extreme, so we conducted a 5-hour heavy battery life test on iQOO U5, by simulating the normal usage habits of users, to test the daily endurance performance of iQOO U5. We selected 7 of the most common scenarios:
Watch iQIYI video: play 45 minutes of 1080P resolution video in full screen;
Brush TikTok short video: Swipe the video browsing on the video interface, a total of 50 minutes.
QQ chat: 20 minutes of text chat, 15 minutes of voice chat and 15 minutes of video chat, a total of 50 minutes.
Swipe Weibo: Enter the list page and swipe for 45 minutes.
Camera recording: Record 1080P 30 frames of video for 15 minutes; default main camera takes 15 minutes, for a total of 30 minutes.
Play Glory of Kings: Battle Mode "Combat Confrontation", Map King's Canyon 5V5, test for 60 minutes.
Swipe mobile phone Taobao: Enter the Taobao home page and swipe, a total of 20 minutes.
The results are as follows:
5-hour severe endurance test
It can be seen that after 5 hours of heavy battery life testing, the iQOO U5 has 57% of the remaining power. And this is still in the case of heavy endurance testing, for ordinary users, the normal use of iQOO U5 can basically achieve a charging frequency of two days a charge.
In addition to the powerful battery life, iQOO U5 is also equipped with an 18W twin-engine flash charge, which takes 115 minutes to fill this 5000mAh large battery after actual testing. Although it is not very fast, for a mobile phone that is charged once every two days, the charging efficiency is still worth affirming.

For some users who need two devices, iQOO U5's OTG reverse charging is definitely the most practical function, through a Type C to Type C or Type-C to Lightning data cable, you can use iQOO U5 to charge other devices, equivalent to carrying a charging treasure.
OTG reverse charging
Overall, in terms of endurance experience, iQOO U5 can basically sit in the head echelon position in the thousand yuan file, and bring an OTG reverse charge on the mobile phone with a 5000mAh battery, which can be said to be the endurance advantage of iQOO U5 to a new level.
4 Summary
Excellent fuselage feel, strong battery life, good camera experience, overall iQOO U5 with these three "basic experience" level, it is enough to gain a foothold in today's thousand-dollar file market, not to mention that iQOO U5 also has a good performance in the game experience. So whether you have limited pre-sales, need a mobile phone with a thousand-dollar price segment, or simply need a spare machine, iQOO U5 is a good choice.
Of course, we also have to lament that not only the flagship machine is developing rapidly, but also the thousand-yuan product is also moving forward step by step. Different from the past, even the thousand-dollar product is not satisfied with just maintaining the basic communication of users, but is also moving closer to how to meet the user experience. We also believe that the emergence of iQOO U5 is not the final answer to iQOO's exploration in the thousand-dollar price segment, but at least it is the best answer that can bring users to the thousand-dollar price segment now.
