iQOO 9 Pro
For the iQOO brand, I believe that everyone is not very unfamiliar. In the past few years, with its pioneering configuration, youthful design, and high cost performance, it has won the love of many young people.
Today, iQOO is also gradually improving its brand positioning, and the top products have gradually changed from the "game phone" at the beginning to the flagship machine of the "bucket type". The iQOO 9 Pro introduced to you today is a flagship model equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen1 and strives to do everything.
Detailed product configuration
A mature language of motion design
First of all, looking at the appearance, in general, the iQOO 9 Pro is a young, sporty design. The 6.78-inch screen, the weight of 203.93g is not light, but considering the heavy use of glass to enhance the texture, and equipped with 50W high-speed wireless charging function, it is completely understandable.
Classic tri-color design
The fuselage uses a lot of racing elements, and the classic BMW tri-color makes this phone come with a motor-roaring BGM. The camera module is embedded in a whole piece of black glass, making the phone more temperamental.
iQOO Logo
In terms of touch, iQOO 9 Pro provides two options, one is the mirror glass touch of the back cover of the mobile phone body, which feels very smooth and has a good texture.
The original case is the same design as the mobile phone
The iQOO 9 Pro comes with a protective case that is completely consistent with the design of the back cover of the mobile phone body. Unlike the back cover of the fuselage body, the protective case is designed with a frosted surface. In this way, a mobile phone can experience two different feels, and will not lose any value, the author as a "shell party", said that this design is very useful.
Key details
On the right side of the fuselage, all the physical buttons are concentrated, of which the power button is different from the volume button in the feel, which relatively reduces the probability of misoperation.
The interface adopts USB Type-C specifications
At the bottom of the fuselage, it is equipped with USB Type-C data transmission and charging interface, which supports up to 120W fast charging.
High specification screen
On the front of the fuselage, the screen adopts Samsung E5 AMOLED material, manual maximum brightness 500nit, global maximum brightness 1000nit, local peak brightness 1500nit, size 6.78 inches, resolution of 3200×1440, support 100% P3 wide color gamut coverage and 10bit color depth, HDR10/10+ rendering, maximum support screen 120Hz refresh rate and 300Hz touch sampling rate. In fact, in terms of appearance, it is indeed the top screen of today.
iQOO 9 Pro operator interface
In addition, iQOO 9 Pro's OriginOS 2.0 built-in theme and the external design of the mobile phone match very harmoniously, the overall clarity and brightness, whether it is color, font, shape, the phone inside and outside there is no sense of separation, violation.
Designs tend to mature
Overall, after several generations of products, the iQOO 9 Pro already has a very mature design idea and language. Overall beautiful but not exaggerated, it is a very good-looking and attractive mobile phone.
Fisheye lenses make the image more interesting
Camera module
The iQOO 9 Pro is well-balanced and innovative in terms of imagery, with a 50-megapixel Samsung GN5 sensor with a sensor area of 1/1.57 inch, a new ultra-wide-angle lens that supports fisheye function, with a sensor area of 1/2.76 inches, and a telephoto lens that is equivalent to a 60mm 1/3.1-inch configuration. It is also equipped with a two-color flash and supports micro-PTZ stabilization technology.
Fisheye lens sample
Let's first look at the performance of the newly added fisheye lens. As you can see, the new fisheye lens can provide an exaggerated, uncommon viewing angle, more visual impact than the conventional ultra-wide angle, and you can feel the fun at the beginning.
Among them, the fisheye mode has two modes to choose from, one is a picture similar to the "crystal ball", and the other is a regular proportion, which personally feels that the first one is more fun.
To say two more words, regarding the use of fisheye lenses, the author believes that the most important thing is to find the subject in the picture. For example, the disc in the above picture and the crystal ball mode itself combine to create a good effect (feel like a grimace?). In addition, if you look closely, you can also see the reflection of the iQOO 9 Pro on the glass, and it is also excellent to use self-portraits if necessary.
Main photo sample
In terms of main camera, the iQOO 9 Pro with the addition of the micro-gimbal is very good in low light, and the whole handheld shooting is also very stable, and there is almost no waste film due to hand shaking.
In terms of low-light shooting, iQOO 9 Pro supports Super Night Scene 4.0, which can use the complementary information between multi-frame images to achieve noise removal of low-light scenes and improve the imaging effect of night scenes and low-light scenes through inter-frame registration and multi-frame fusion.
In actual use, long exposure can be matched with color presets in real time, and the final film effect can be seen in real time, and the completion of the function is very high.
Micro gimbal video stabilization sample
In addition, the main camera of iQOO 9 Pro is equipped with micro-gimbal technology, combined with EIS electronic image stabilization technology, which can achieve the effect of "VIS five-axis video stabilization".
In fact, shooting completely handheld at night can also have an effect similar to using a mobile phone stabilizer, which is of great help for shooting Vlogs and short videos.
In addition, due to the increase in the area of the sensor itself, there are preconditions for the formation of physical bokeh in optics. In fact, as long as it is good at using the foreground, the mobile phone can also take beautiful photos with a bokeh effect.
On the whole, the iQOO 9 Pro with the addition of fisheye lenses is a good way to enhance the photography fun of the mobile phone, plus the already good main camera outsole and micro-gimbal, the comprehensive performance is good.
The author has always believed that rather than spelling parsing and zooming between various mobile phones, it is better to compare playability, operation experience, and practical functions. The choice of iQOO 9 Pro is obviously the "right route".
Top +120W fast charging, composing a complete entertainment experience
In terms of computing performance, the iQOO 9 Pro is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 Soc, which adopts the latest generation of 4nm process, and the CPU adopts a 1+3+4 triple cluster design, including a 3.0GHz Cortex-X2 super core, three 2.5GHz Cortex-A710 large cores and four 1.8GHz Cortex-A510 small cores, using the ARMv9 underlying architecture. Compared with qualcomm Snapdragon 888, the peak performance of the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform is theoretically increased by 20%; under the premise of maintaining performance unchanged, power consumption is reduced by 30%.
iQOO 9 Pro running score
In terms of running points, the measured iQOO 9 Pro's Antutu score reached 1027155 points, surpassing the previous generation of iQOO 8 using Snapdragon 888 Soc by nearly 20%, which is consistent with the theoretical value. In terms of 3DMark, the running score directly hit the ceiling, and the app showed that it had reached the limit value.
League of Legends mobile game game interface
Through the latest League of Legends mobile game test, iQOO 9 Pro can run at 60Hz full of special effects, and supports MEMC through the standalone display chip Pro, which increases the actual display frame rate to 120 frames.
It is worth mentioning that because iQOO 9 Pro adopts a large area VC vapor plate + laminated stereoscopic graphite heat dissipation design, coupled with the camera metal body using a good thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy material, but also can increase a certain heat dissipation effect, the actual mobile phone in the game of heat dissipation performance is good, the whole process is only warm, and the body temperature is equivalent, and there is no caton, frame drop problem.
The charging display screen is not accelerated
Of course, there is enough good game performance, but also have a good enough supporting experience. iQOO 9 Pro supports 120W high-speed charging, the author felt quite shocked when using it for the first time, ten seconds can rush into 1% of the power, see the number is soaring all the way, this feeling is really very cool, measured about 20 minutes to charge the power from 0 to 4700mAh full charge.
In addition, in the 120W fast charge technology, in addition to helping gamers quickly return blood between games, there are also many practical scenarios for our ordinary users: Suppose I woke up early in the morning only to find that I forgot to charge my mobile phone last night, with 120W fast charge, you can rest assured that you can use the washing time (about 20 minutes) to fill up the battery, and then go out to work with peace of mind.
The 120W charger is much slimmer than the previous generation The picture shows the comparison with the volume of the beverage can
In addition, compared with the previous generation of 120W charger, the 120W charger that comes with iQOO 9 Pro is much smaller, and the psychological burden of daily carrying will be much smaller. With this experience of fast charging at any time, the charging treasure can also say goodbye.
Summary: A milestone in product upgrades
In summary, iQOO 9 Pro is remarkable in terms of material configuration, appearance design, game experience, image functions, etc., and various design details are also very elaborate, reaching a high maturity that has not been achieved before the product.
Starting from the original iQOO main performance experience, iQOO 5 joined the 120Hz screen, iQOO5 Pro joined the M power tri-color design &120W fast charge, iQOO 8 Pro upgraded the 2K curved screen, the whole series of micro-gimbal technology, wireless charging, etc., iQOO in step by step to complete the product positioning climb. The author believes that according to the current rhythm and route of development, the iQOO brand will definitely have a broader space for growth.
