Since the birth of iQOO mobile phones, high-performance labels have been accompanied by this brand, and the super running elements pursued by iQOO in design have made iQOO mobile phones full of speed. Doing anything with iQOO mobile phones is already the most profound brand label left by iQOO to consumers.
In the new iQOO 9 series mobile phones, continuing this top high-performance experience, iQOO continues to use the industry's top standards in hardware specifications, fast charging, design, while also catching up with the highest level in the use of screens, coupled with the new interactive experience brought by the new System of OriginOS Ocean, will bring a faster experience than ever.
As the latest new Snapdragon 8 flagship, iQOO 9 Pro naturally has the top positioning, so how well the iQOO 9 Pro performs under the new hardware and technical support, we will know after using it.
Top E5 screen Top display effect is more power saving
In the iQOO 8 series mobile phones, the E5 material screen was launched, and we were deeply impressed by its extremely exquisite display effect. In the iQOO 9 Pro, this glow material continues to be used, and there is a more mature tuning scheme, which is more accurate in terms of display consistency.
iQOO 9 Pro's screen size is as high as 6.78 inches, the center of the cut-out design scheme, the impact on the display effect is very small, symmetrical upper and lower border design, so that the screen is in the middle position, such a visual effect is the most outstanding. This screen has a 2K level ultra-high resolution of 3200x1440, and the display effect is very delicate. Support 10bit color depth and 100% P3 wide color gamut, color display is accurate and realistic. The maximum brightness of the screen is 1000nit, the local peak brightness is as high as 1500nit, the screen can be seen clearly under direct sunlight, the HDR video playback is more layered, and the color effect is more realistic. At the same time, the E5 luminous material screen consumes 25% less power than the previous E4 material.
iQOO 9 Pro's top E5 screen, compared to the iQOO 8 series of the E5 screen, the biggest change is undoubtedly adapted to LTPO stepless variable speed 2.0 technology, which has a more comprehensive and intelligent refresh rate adjustment than the iQOO 8 series, and the performance in terms of power consumption will be better. For example, in the global application, the highest 120Hz refresh rate is automatically matched when touched, and the delicate scene without animation matches the low refresh rate of 10Hz to save power. This looks no different from the previous LTPO, but LTPO stepless variable speed 2.0 is more effective, can reduce the number of useless self-refreshes before realistic rendering to the extreme, and adjust the frame number in time to follow the actual situation of the APP, and the power-saving performance is naturally better than ever.
In terms of fingerprints, iQOO 9 Pro uses ultrasonic 3D wide-area fingerprint recognition, and its sensor area is several times larger than before, which has significantly improved in terms of security and convenience. Those who have experienced the iQOO 8 series are sure to know that this fingerprint recognition technology is excellent, which is particularly convenient in terms of entry, and can be completed in one scan, without the need for traditional fingerprints, and entering a dozen times to fully establish fingerprint information.
Snapdragon 8 Gen1 subversive performance Full dragon training stable and not hot
The performance of iQOO 9 Pro is undoubtedly the most concerned about everyone, from the configuration point of view, Snapdragon 8 Gen1 + full blood LNDDR5 + UFS 3.1 specifications are already the current top match. What everyone is most concerned about is definitely the actual performance of Snapdragon 8 Gen1, especially how the specific tuning of iQOO 9 Pro can play the ultimate performance of the chip.
We will not discuss the specific specifications of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1, but only talk about the performance improvement. CPU performance is 20% higher than the previous generation and has a 30% reduction in power consumption. Graphics performance with a 30% improvement in rendering speed and a 25% improvement in energy efficiency. It's great to look at the numbers alone, but the actual performance depends on the actual high load performance, especially when it comes to gaming.
After we actually played with the iQOO 9 Pro, we found that the iQOO 9 Pro was able to give us two very different experiences. When the equalization mode is turned on, the mobile phone's heat control performance is extremely good, and it is a game mode that can really take into account both heat and performance. After turning on monster mode, the phone will enter the full fire mode, at this time will be based on performance as the preference, the game frame rate will be greatly improved, to obtain the most extreme smooth visual effects.
With the iQOO 9 Pro tuned like this, the equalization mode is actually enough for ordinary games. In the 120 frame mode of "Glory of Kings" HD picture quality, the iQOO 9 Pro's game performance is very smooth throughout the game, with an average frame rate of up to 118.2 frames, and the stability performance is very good. In fact, the 120-frame King Of Glory has very high requirements for mobile phone performance, and it requires high performance support to obtain a stable frame rate.
Then we continued to play the second game, in which we did not feel the obvious heat of the phone, and the feel was at most warm. The temperature measurement after that also confirmed our somatosensory, the front/back temperature is only 40.1 degrees / 38 degrees, stable frame rate performance, coupled with the heat situation is not hot, iQOO 9 Pro gaming experience is the top of the day.
For the game "Original God", which requires higher performance, the balance mode also pays attention to the balance between temperature and fluency. The temperature on the front/back of the 30-minute game phone is 41.2 degrees/40.5 degrees, which is an excellent temperature control that the original god players would not have thought of before.
We opened the Monster mode to test run "Original God", iQOO 9 Pro performance at this time began to output wantonly, the average frame number of 30 minutes of the game directly climbed to 50 frames, even if the game nearly 30 minutes of temperature has risen, still can have an average frame rate performance of 55 frames, in the extremely high quality of such a performance has been very amazing, in the previous generation of Snapdragon 888 models, full development of firepower thermal runaway can only run out of less than 45 frames of performance. It must also be noted that even in Monster mode, iQOO 9 Pro also has a certain heat control, in the room temperature of 25 degrees, the front temperature of the phone is 44.7 degrees, and the back temperature is 41.7 degrees. From the surface temperature of the fuselage, it can be clearly seen that even if the Monster mode is turned on, the iQOO 9 Pro still does not output the maximum performance performance, otherwise compared with other models, the fuselage temperature should be higher, and the game frame rate should also be improved, perhaps the iQOO aspect is from the final game experience, only now such a performance tuning.
Of course, iQOO 9 Pro can also use the independent display chip Pro to improve the game experience more flexibly, with this chip iQOO 9 Pro, can increase the low frame game screen to 120 frames, while supporting low frame rate frames to 90 frames, in a smoother picture quality performance, through the independent display chip Pro share GPU load, to further reduce the heat situation. After our actual measurement in the original god game, in the game's native 60 frames and the 90 frame mode after the power optimization is turned on, the power consumption of the game will not increase at the same time, which means that the iQOO 9 Pro can provide 90 frames of picture quality performance at 60 frames of power consumption.
The iQOO 9 Pro with excellent temperature control performance, coupled with the support of the independent display chip Pro, provides players with a wealth of game modes. If you want a longer game life and lower heat performance, you can turn on the power consumption reduction function; if you want to break through the frame limit of the game itself, the frame rate improvement function can naturally create the ultimate smooth performance. As for games with low performance requirements, the iQOO 9 Pro itself can be done with its super performance.
Left: Medium Quality Right: Very high quality
As for the whitelisting mechanism for some other mobile phones for the original god's special resolution rendering, it does not exist in the iQOO 9 Pro. We can compare the screenshot difference between medium quality and very high quality, in this case there is a significant difference visible to the naked eye.
Of course, the VC stereoscopic cooling system equipped with iQOO 9 Pro is also an important part of the high gaming experience, which is equipped with a large-area VC heating plate, with a laminated stereoscopic graphite, covering the internal core heating unit, which can quickly export heat to the surface of the fuselage for heat dissipation. The panoramic porthole design on the back of the fuselage also has a good heat dissipation effect. At the same time, the body of the plain leather material has good heat resistance, so that the temperature on the back of the fuselage is lower than that on the front.
Judging from the results of the test, iQOO 9 Pro has a moderate load in the mass game, the performance performance is very outstanding, can run the most stable performance in the most extreme picture quality, and the control of mobile phone heat is very appropriate, and the game experience is very top-notch. In extremely loaded games, there is a clear temperature control strategy that ensures comfort for long periods of play. As for the picture quality, it is compensated by the independent display chip Pro, which is a comprehensive game performance support that can only be used by the iQOO 9 Pro, after all, the independent display chip is not all flagship machines will be equipped.
120W super fast flash charge Battery charge faster
In terms of battery life, iQOO uses the top 120W ultra-fast flash charging technology in these generations of products, and the battery capacity is also constantly improving. iQOO 9 Pro also provides a large-capacity battery of 4700mAh under the support of 120W ultra-fast flash charge, and the battery capacity is increased again, making the endurance of the iQOO 9 Pro strengthened again.
The help of a larger battery to the battery life is self-evident, 5 hours of benchmark high-intensity endurance test, iQOO 9 Pro's power consumption is 44%, compared to iQOO 8 Pro saves 2% of the power, with a comprehensive specification of the leading iQOO 9 Pro is stronger than the previous endurance.
The large battery has no impact on the fast charging experience of the iQOO 9 Pro, and with the support of 120W ultra-fast flash charge, the time for 1%-100% to be fully charged is less than 19 minutes, which is about 1 minute more than that of the iQOO 8 Pro. Of course, this is due to the increase in battery capacity, and when it comes to charging speed, the iQOO 9 Pro is obviously the apex of the industry.
It is also worth mentioning that the iQOO 9 Pro has also been greatly upgraded on the charger, with a smaller Gallium nitride material charger. This charger has a more compact shape, the volume is 26% smaller than the previous generation of 120W chargers, the weight is reduced to 135 grams, and it is significantly more convenient to carry. And the new charger adopts a C to C interface design, providing PD and PPS fast charging protocols with up to 65W power, which can quickly charge other mobile phones, laptops, handhelds and other mobile devices.
Continuation of the track design language Panoramic porthole personality does not collide with the machine
The aesthetic of speed is the heritage of iQOO mobile phone design, and the iQOO 9 Pro continues to use the carbon fiber texture design that symbolizes supercar, and integrates this design element into the plain leather material to restore the unique texture of the racing interior.
The iQOO 9 Pro's plain leather surface has a uniform texture arrangement, which is delicate and has enough damping to feel like holding the steering wheel of a racing car, as if you are in the middle of the race. The plain leather material also has excellent fingerprint resistance, and the main color of orange collides with black, showing a full sense of strength.
The biggest design feature of the iQOO 9 Pro is this "skylight" in the upper area, which is the panoramic porthole specially created by iQOO, which is an extension of the layered design of the iQOO 8 series. The large-area design has a stronger sense of visual impact, the simple and regular design visual is smooth and not messy, and the symmetrical effect of the upper and lower levels presents an orderly beauty. The biggest design feature of this area is that it gives the iQOO 9 Pro enough recognition, after all, this design is the only one in the mobile phone, with a flamboyant orange fuselage, there will never be a collision situation.
The panoramic porthole design is simple, but the internal structure is very fine, the metal base bracket, the surrounding metal edges and the camera decorative ring use the same aluminum alloy, carved through 24 processes, the surface has a frosted feel and AG light and shadow effect, which can be waterproof and assist in heat dissipation.
Through the three-oxygen integration process, the three metal parts of the panoramic porthole have different colors and surface textures, the base is full of metal feeling, the metal edge is more calm, and the decorative circle is more bright, and finally the entire panoramic porthole is full of layering.
The new system of OriginOS Ocean innovates the way to interact
The iQOO 9 Pro is directly equipped with the new OriginOS Ocean system, which has been changed in terms of interaction logic and performance optimization, and it feels like entering a new world compared with the original OriginOS.
Multi-Turbo 6.0 optimizes system performance from multiple dimensions to avoid the stuttering problems commonly encountered by users. Optimize the visual response rules of the Android system, dynamically increase the priority of resources required for foreground visual response related tasks, and schedule system resources to the corresponding applications as quickly as possible to improve the startup and operation speed of applications. The combination of atomic animation engine, instantaneous start-stop and memory expansion truly enables seamless multitasking
The picture/video thumbnail is preloaded in the information flow interface, and the screen is almost "blank" when sliding, and applications such as Photo Album, WeChat, and Today's Headlines all support this function. In terms of system anti-aging function, through the self-developed anti-aging model, the file fragments are optimized, so that the mobile phone remains smooth after a long time of use, and the storage performance remains above 99% after 36 months of use by the Thiel Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Information and Communications Technology.
The OriginOS Ocean system has made important changes in the interface interaction, and due to the limitation of space, we will only talk about the function that makes us feel the best to use - the lock screen interface. The lock screen interface of the OriginOS Ocean system is completely different from the previous monotonous interface, but the lock screen is made into a lightweight interactive interface, the internal logic is that the user often in the light screen, just to use a single function, at this time there is no need to unlock, as long as you provide a quick function entrance. For example, our most commonly used payment function, in the OriginOS Ocean system does not need to unlock the phone, combined with the super card package function, just in the lock screen, at the bottom from right to left swipe can directly call out WeChat or Alipay payment code shortcut.
OriginOS Ocean system in the lock screen also supports two applications to quickly open, the application icon will appear at the shortcut entrance of the lock screen interface, drag the icon to the center area to quickly enter after unlocking, eliminating the unnecessary steps after unlocking. It is even possible to unlock fingerprint recognition in the process of dragging and dropping icons, which may only be achieved by large-area recognition of 3D ultrasonic fingerprints.
Overall, the OriginOS Ocean system, combined with the powerful hardware specifications of iQOO 9 Pro, makes it easy for users to get a long-term and fast experience through the use of many new technologies.
Summary: Top performance is the best value choice
After a series of uses, we should also have a basic judgment on the iQOO 9 Pro mobile phone, which maintains a consistent design style and the use of supercar elements to maintain a consistent design style. The panoramic porthole design is also an extension of the previous layered design and gives the iQOO 9 Pro excellent recognition.
In terms of performance, the iQOO 9 Pro lives up to expectations, with breakthrough super performance supported by the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform. The heat performance that is more valued by users, iQOO 9 Pro is also very satisfactory. Perhaps in the current mobile phone market, this adjustment method of iQOO 9 Pro is the solution to maximize performance and battery life.
In terms of battery life, the iQOO 9 Pro has a stronger battery performance than ever before, supported by a larger battery capacity. 120W ultra-fast flash charge is the best fast charging solution in the entire mobile phone market, and the fast charging experience is also the most solid. Here to give iQOO the charging algorithm a thumbs up, after the system shows 100% power, it is basically equivalent to fully charged, without the need for a long time trickle charge. The use of gallium nitride charger also solves the problem that the charger is not easy to carry.
Finally, look at the price, the price of iQOO 9 Pro is not cheap, the starting price of 4999 yuan is completely worthy of the experience of the machine, and want a high-performance experience of the top mobile phone, iQOO 9 Pro may be the most valuable choice.
