What's new at this point? Of course it's the iQOO 9 Pro.
At the beginning of 2022, there are two Snapdragon 8 flagships coming one after another, yesterday's realme may be more focused on design, and today's iQOO digital flagship is still going to the performance of this piece. So how does the iQOO 9 Pro perform? Is the Dragon Trainer still the same? We'll see it right away!
Poke this to watch the video
appearance
The first thing that catches the eye is the iQOO classic packaging box, in addition to the mobile phone and protective case, iQOO 9 Pro still comes with a 120W charger, but this time the charger compared to before, using gallium nitride technology, the volume is a lot smaller.
At the same time, the charger still supports 65W PD output, which is not a problem to power most laptops.
Look at the mobile phone, this time we got iQOO is very classic orange, using plain leather texture material, the official call is "burning engine", listening to the name is still full of track wind. At the same time, the back camera design of iQOO9 Pro has also caught up with the trend of vivo's big family, from the previous cloud steps to "panoramic portholes", which at first glance looks quite X70 Pro+.
But their detail handling is slightly different, and the porthole of the iQOO 9 Pro is a whole bulge. Since last year's "Xiaomi miracle", manufacturers are well aware that the more exaggerated the lens group, the higher the recognition of the machine, but this is only one aspect, this design is actually mysterious, we will reveal to you later.
The three dimensions of the iQOO 9 Pro are basically the same as the iQOO8 Pro, the weight of the whole machine is 203 grams, the thickness of 9.21 mm, and the presence is still full in the hand.
performance
As the digital flagship of iQOO in the first half of the year, iQOO9 Pro naturally carries the hottest Snapdragon 8 processor. In several traditional tests, the iQOO9 Pro is a leader in all three Snapdragon 8 models.
Through the recent release of several models, we should also have a basic understanding of the situation of snapdragon 8, performance strength is here, but heat dissipation is still a big problem. To put it bluntly, this is still a dragon training game.
In ancient times, there were eighteen palms of descending dragons, and now there are eighteen stacks of tamed dragons. In order to extinguish the fire, iQOO designed a heat dissipation structure system with an exaggerated name: "Eighteen Layers of Cascading Waterfall VC Stereoscopic Heat Dissipation".
First of all, a large area of VC heating board is used in the fuselage, and under the screen, an ultra-thin heat dissipation film is also padded, so that the more the game is played, the hotter the screen will be.
Remember the porthole mystery you just mentioned? In fact, there are four layers of heat dissipation graphite below, friends who often watch our programs know that the general SoC is placed near the lens group, which is equivalent to doing thickening heat dissipation, and a circle of aluminum alloy material around the porthole is also part of the heat dissipation system, which releases heat from the SoC.
Sounds pretty good, but what about the actual performance? We go straight to the stress test.
To explain in advance, the iQOO 9 Pro we received is an engineering prototype, and the system version is also a beta version (
PD2172C_A_12.0.10.23), actual testing may differ from the final commercially available version.
In a 25-degree room temperature environment, the score of 20 rounds of testing in the 3D MarkWild Life Extreme stress test, iQOO 9 Pro is comparable to the Moto edge X30 that also uses snapdragon 8 processors, and with the increase in body temperature, the single round score will drop significantly, not as stable as the previous Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro.
During the test, the highest temperature of the iQOO 9 Pro's fuselage was about 55 degrees, which appeared in the upper bezel position of the fuselage, and the maximum temperature of the screen also exceeded 50 degrees. The temperature performance is between the two debut Snapdragon 8 models.
In such a high-load scenario, the fuselage temperature proves that the thermal conduction is really good, and eighteen stacks bring out the heat, but this breaks through the temperature of 50 degrees, and it will affect the feel too much in the game scene. So we go into the original god and see how the performance and power consumption play out in the actual game.
This time, the iQOO 9 Pro still has a built-in independent display chip, which is equivalent to equipping snapdragon 8 with a teammate to face the complex game scene of the original god. Corresponding to the function, it is the two game modes built into the iQOO 9 Pro, "Increase Frame Rate" and "Optimize Power Consumption".
The former can turn a 60-frame game into a 120-frame display by interpolating frames, while the latter reduces the power consumption of the entire machine by sharing gpu rendering work, while increasing the game frame rate to 90 frames.
In a 25-degree room temperature environment, we charged the phone to full power and turned on Monster mode, and the original god chose the extremely high quality 60 frames for testing.
After half an hour, the average frame rate is 50.9, the frame rate fluctuation variance is 24.4, and 60 frames can be reached about 7 minutes before the game, and the frame rate is stable at about 55 in the later stage as the heat of the fuselage increases. The game is about 15 minutes, the frame rate fluctuations become larger, and the running scene can be stable for 53-55 frames, and once you enter the battle, it will fall to about 45 frames.
At present, several Snapdragon 8 flagships tested are basically stable in a range, and the battle is stable in a lower range, but it will not lock the frame, and there is no particularly obvious Caton.
The heat in the game is mainly concentrated at the left-hand border, and after half an hour, the maximum temperature on the front is 43.7 degrees, and the maximum temperature on the back is 42.4 degrees, and it seems that the eighteen stacks are still OK in the real game scene. However, there is an interesting place is that through the Power Monitoring of PerfDog, it can be seen that the power consumption of the whole machine is only 3.1W on average during the game, which is much lower than that of Moto and Xiaomi's Snapdragon 8, it seems that iQOO is still afraid of the awakening of the dragon, intentionally suppressed, if the subsequent firmware can have a more scientific dynamic strategy, then the entire game frame rate performance will be better.
In the game to open the "increase frame rate" mode, you can call the iQOO of the independent chip, we through the high-speed camera actual test, iQOO 9 Pro can not be stable after interpolation at 120 frames to run.
The reason is very simple, the premise of achieving 120 frames is also that the CPU is stable at 60 frames of rendering, and then interpolated through the independent display chip, but the current Snapdragon 8 can not be stable at 60, with the CPU rendering frame rate declines, the optimized frame rate will also decline.
Although there is no 120, this chip also provides an idea for running the game stably and smoothly. For example, in our test, the late original god with the current snapdragon 8 ability can be completely stable at 30 frames, through interpolation of a calculation, on the screen to run 60 stably, which is nothing more than a curve to save the country, both to ensure the frame rate, but also to reduce power consumption, the idea is still praised.
In terms of battery life, iQOO 9 Pro has a built-in 4700mAh dual battery, after the Huangjia evaluation three-hour battery life test, a total of 36% of the power, in the Huangjia evaluation database performance is in the middle and upper reaches, medium to heavy use of a day without problems.
Use the included charger 0-100% charging, 5 minutes can be charged 38%, 18 minutes fully charged, the speed in the First Echelon of the Huangjia Evaluation Database, even if you forget to charge at night, the morning washing kung fu can also completely return to blood.
experience
This time, the iQOO 9 Pro's 50-megapixel main camera uses a new Samsung GN5 sensor with a sensor size of 1.57th of an inch; a 50-megapixel JN1 sensor ultra-wide-angle lens that supports 150° ultra-wide-angle shooting; and a 16-megapixel 2.5x telephoto portrait lens.
But as far as we know, iQOO 9 Pro will follow up with a large OTA for taking photos, in order to share fresh iQOO 9 Pro with you for the first time, there is no new firmware, and we will also follow up with tests for everyone.
The iQOO 9 Pro's screen is the same as the 8 Pro's, with a 6.78-inch center-punched curved screen. Samsung E5 light-emitting materials, 2K resolution, LTPO technology is not falling, or the screen with full parameters.
After actual testing, the average delta E of the screen is 0.8, the color reproduction is accurate, and the look and feel in daily use is very comfortable.
Consistent with the iQOO 8 Pro, there is also an ultrasonic fingerprint unlock, and the speed and success rate are still leading the circle. And in OriginOS Ocean, the lock screen shortcut function is also added, and the fingerprint recognition area is large enough to take into account the unlocking and shortcut functions.
Compared with X70 Pro+ these small area unlocked models that need to enter the secondary menu to confirm, iQOO 9 Pro can press and hold the corresponding icon on the lock screen, directly scan the code to pay, or open the health treasure, the experience is smoother.
After using this for a period of time, the vibration of iQOO 9 Pro has also left us with a good impression, in addition to the crisp and strong vibration during the typing process, it can also give subtle vibration feedback on some system switches, which is very comfortable.
As for how the speakers you care about perform, we have also taken a new generation of music phones Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro to compare. (Jump to video 8 min 42 sec comparison)
summary
After this week's experience, the theoretical performance of the iQOO 9 Pro is currently in the first echelon,
The gaming experience is also the current average performance of snapdragon 8. For small partners who want to play games with iQOO 9 Pro, excellent heat control is still worth recommending, and we also expect iQOO's chip strategy to be slightly aggressive, so that the frame rate can be more stable.
However, for the daily use of screen, charging, and battery life, the specifications have been full, and it is a qualified flagship mobile phone, with the new OriginOS Ocean, iQOO 9 Pro can still meet the needs of the main engine.
The above is the entire content of this video, with a hard-core attitude, do material evaluation, here is the Huangjia review, there is a group of professional, interesting, serious friends waiting for you.
