Entering the higher-end flagship machine market through digital series has always been the goal of iQOO, and now just two days after the 2022 holiday, the flagship iQOO 9 Pro came to us for the first time.
iQOO 9 Pro
Users familiar with iQOO mobile phones know that this young brand has had a brand tone of "dare to fight and dare to rush" and "willing to be the first" since its birth, as early as December 26, the KPL Autumn Finals site, the real machine of iQOO 9 was officially announced. This practice of meeting the majority of users frankly before the official release also allows us to see that the official is full of confidence in this mobile phone.
Returning to the product itself, the iQOO 9 Pro also inherits the digital series of "building a bucket flagship" approach. In 2022, it will take the lead in equipping a new generation of Snapdragon 8, and through a top screen in 2022, coupled with 120W ultra-fast flash charging + 50W wireless charging, ultrasonic 3D wide-area fingerprint, dual flagship main camera and micro-gimbal, this "bucket flagship" will be fully improved.
Top screens for 2022
Nowadays, all kinds of interactions on mobile phones are inseparable from the screen, so to become a flagship that does not leave a short board, a "ceiling" level screen is absolutely indispensable. The screen of the iQOO 9 Pro is quite capable of playing from the parameters: 6.78 inches, E5 material, 3200×1440 resolution, global maximum 1000nit brightness, local maximum 1500nit brightness, support 100% P3 wide color gamut coverage and 10bit color depth, support HDR10/10+... All the parameters that should be on the flagship screen can be found on the iQOO 9 Pro.
Powerful parameter blessing, bringing about the improvement of perception. The moment we pick up the iQOO 9 Pro and light up the screen, we can feel the powerful appeal of full color. Today, when "high refresh rate" has become the standard of flagship machines, iQOO 9 Pro also supports a refresh rate of 120Hz, and iQOO 9 Pro also supports 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate double open, which can ensure the best display field of view when daily use.
The iQOO 9 Pro supports dual on resolution with 120Hz refresh rate
This year's iQOO 9 Pro also retains the highly acclaimed LTPO technology and upgrades it to "LTPO Stepless Variable Speed 2.0", which can intelligently switch the screen refresh rate between 1-120Hz according to different use scenarios to achieve the experience of "low brush usage scenarios reduce power consumption, high brush usage scenarios are silky and delicate". In addition, iQOO 9 Pro also automatically matches the frame rate for different scenes. For example, after opening the camera, the refresh rate of the screen will be reduced to 60fps, in some touchless, only small animation scenes, the refresh rate will be further reduced, through different adaptation strategies, iQOO 9 Pro makes full use of the advantages of ltpo screen, and further reduce the power consumption of the screen.
The high-frame game that can match the high-frame screen well is currently popular with players. In order to enhance the gaming experience, the iQOO 9 Pro is also equipped with a "standalone display chip Pro". In the "Boost Frame Rate" mode, players can interpolate the native low frame rate game to 120 frames, and with the iQOO 9 Pro's 120Hz screen, they can get a smoother picture when running high frame rate games. Of course, gamers can also use the "high frame low power" mode, at which point the standalone display chip Pro will help the phone render a certain number of screens, reducing power consumption by reducing the SoC load.

In addition, when the "Optimize Power Consumption" function is enabled, the heating phenomenon of the backplane of the mobile phone is also suppressed. After the actual measurement used iQOO 9 Pro to run a plate of "Glory of kings", the temperature of the fuselage back panel was only 37 degrees Celsius, and it was only warm to the touch, and it would not feel hot.

Compared with a good screen, the pro equipped with an independent display chip is not the first improvement that consumers can see. But in the process of long-term use, I believe that this standalone display chip Pro can bring players a real upgrade. If you're a heavy gamer, the iQOO 9 Pro, which has a discrete display chip Pro, is worth your choice.
The iQOO 9 Pro supports fingerprint quick activation up to two functions, while retaining the fingerprint unlock function
From the perspective of daily experience, iQOO 9 Pro's ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking can also greatly enhance our experience. Compared to other phones, it has a larger fingerprint unlock area, so this area can be used not only to unlock, but also to quickly activate up to two two functions. For example, Alipay payment, display health code, etc., can greatly improve the efficiency of common operations. At the same time, thanks to the blessing of ultrasonic technology, only one press can be completed when using iQOO 9 Pro to enter fingerprints, and thanks to ultrasonic unlocking technology, iQOO 9 Pro also supports wet hand unlocking and outdoor strong light unlocking, improving the unlock success rate.
The new generation Snapdragon 8 debuted in iQOO mobile phones
As the first flagship product of iQOO in 2022, the new generation of Snapdragon 8 is naturally indispensable, this chip built-in octa-core Kryo CPU, using the main frequency of up to 3.0GHz Cortex-X2 super core, as well as three Cortex-A710 2.5GHz large core and four Cortex-A510 1.8GHz small core, the process process is also upgraded to 4nm, CPU performance increased by 20%, GPU performance increased by 30%. Coupled with the overclocked version of UFS 3.1 and the enhanced version of LPDDR5 memory, the new performance iron triangle of iQOO in 2022 is released.
According to the current time, the iQOO 9 Pro is also one of the first new flagships equipped with Snapdragon 8, so the performance of this phone is naturally highly anticipated. We tested the iQOO 9 Pro with AntuTu. After actual measurements, the iQOO 9 Pro reached 1.03 million in room temperature with Antutu, and the performance met our expectations.

Frankly speaking, the new generation of Snapdragon 8 still needs strong heat dissipation, so the iQOO 9 Pro has prepared a new set of "eighteen layers of waterfall VC stereoscopic cooling system". The large area of VC heating plate inside this heat dissipation system covers the core heating unit, which can effectively reduce the surface temperature of the mobile phone. The top image system position also uses aerospace-grade aluminum alloy materials, with a multi-hierarchical design, which further enhances the heat dissipation effect.
The iQOO 9 Pro runs the Original God frame rate performance
The iQOO 9 Pro runs Pro at a maximum temperature of 43.6°C
Strong performance and heat dissipation ability, but also allow players to get a good game experience. We used the performance-demanding Protoss for actual testing. After running "Original God" for 20 minutes in the scene of running pictures + battles, we can see that the frame rate of the iQOO 9 Pro is still stable, and the maximum temperature of the fuselage back panel at this time is 43.6 ° C, which is in line with our expectations.
It is worth mentioning that the iQOO 9 Pro also superimposes a layer of 0.052mm of heat dissipation film on the lower part of the screen, which can improve the heating of the mobile phone in the bright screen scene. Measured to run a high frame rate "Glory of the King" after the high front of the fuselage maximum temperature of 38.4 ° C, at the same time through the temperature gun test chart can be seen that the temperature of iQOO 9 Pro is relatively average, and there is no phenomenon of temperature concentration, which can also effectively improve the player's game experience.
For performance flagships, long-endurance batteries are naturally standard. In order to further enhance the user experience of gamers, iQOO 9 Pro uses a 4700mAh large battery, which continues to improve compared with the previous generation. In addition, this time the iQOO 9 Pro also uses 6C high-magnification batteries, with an array-type polar ear design process and a dual half-voltage charging chip, which will pull the maximum charging power to 120W.
iQOO 9 Pro charge curve
After actual testing, it only takes nearly 20 minutes to fill the 4700mAh of the iQOO 9 Pro, so even heavy mobile gamers do not need to worry about lack of endurance. And thanks to the good body design, the thickness and weight control of the iQOO 9 Pro are also in place. By using a curved screen and a curved back panel, the iQOO 9 Pro is not heavy when holding it.
The iQOO 9 Pro comes standard with a 120W Gallium Nitride charger
The charging head of the iQOO 9 Pro also has an upgrade. It is iQOO's first 120W Gallium Nitride charger, through the use of new materials, the size of the charger is reduced by 26% compared to the previous generation, and this 120W charging head also uses a Type-C interface, supports PD and PPS protocol, can provide up to 65W of power for other smartphones or computers. In addition, the iQOO 9 Pro also supports wireless charging of the Qi standard. Wireless flash charging up to 50W and wireless reverse charging up to 10W have been able to meet the usual needs.
Micro Gimbal + launch Samsung GN5 to create the strongest imaging system in iQOO
A comprehensive and leading flagship mobile phone, naturally also needs to be equipped with a powerful imaging system. From a design point of view, the most recognizable iQOO 9 Pro is the "panoramic porthole" at the top. By using a large area of aluminum alloy materials, this area also brings a more concise, regular and layered integrated design.

Hidden inside is iQOO's most powerful imaging system to date. The three lenses are a 50-megapixel micro-gimbal main camera, a 50-megapixel 150° panoramic ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 16-megapixel telephoto portrait lens, covering many daily shooting scenes.
The main camera is our most frequently used lens every day, this time iQOO 9 Pro's 50 million pixel main camera debut Samsung GN5 sensor, it has a large aperture of F/1.75 and a focal length of 23mm, the unit pixel area reached 1.0μm, so in different light, it can help us shoot wonderful works. With the blessing of the micro-gimbal, the iQOO 9 Pro can also achieve the "VIS five-axis video stabilization" effect, which can still take clear and bright photos in environments such as weak light or motion.
craft
The use of different materials and colors to show the "sense of speed" is the design concept of the iQOO flagship in recent years. This time iQOO 9 Pro has two versions of "Legend" and "Burning Engine", the Legendary Version still continues the classic three-color design, and the "Burning Engine" we got uses iQOO classic orange to retain the speed on the fuselage backplane.

The iQOO 9 Pro "Ignition Engine" is made of plain leather
The iQOO 9 Pro with the color of the "Burning Engine" is still made of plain leather material, and the touch of carbon fiber is directly connected to the palm of the hand through a special embossing process. In my opinion, the natural damping feeling of supi can also become the favorite of the "naked party", after all, this unique feel, only after touching it can know its beauty.
The "panoramic porthole" design at the top of the iQOO 9 Pro also greatly increases the recognition of the entire phone. Of course, thanks to the slight step difference formed by the aerospace-grade aluminum alloy parts, it also reduces the abruptness of the imaging system, ensuring that the horizontal screen grip also has a good feel when playing games.
Write at the end
From the release of the first iQOO mobile phone in 2019 to the present, many people think that the iQOO mobile phone is a simple "game phone". But iQOO is also constantly using products to prove that it is not only a game flagship, but also has more possibilities.
This time the iQOO 9 Pro is a product with a variety of possibilities, it wants performance and performance, and it has a good experience. In the 2022 smartphone arms race, iQOO fired its first shot, loud enough.
