On January 5, 2022, iQOO officially announced a new product of its digital flagship series: the iQOO 9 series. As one of the first models equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, it can bring users an excellent gaming experience with its rich peripheral configuration that continues to the previous generation, and has also made many innovations in screen and battery life. Below, I will bring you a review of the iQOO 9 standard version.
01 Appearance: The first E5 flexible large straight screen blessing, classic + innovative
In terms of design and appearance, iQOO 9 not only brings users two classic black and orange colors of "track version" and "sharp edge", but also the very characteristic white, red and blue "legendary version" is not absent, and we also get this one. After a simple start, the author's first feeling is "silky", the machine uses a matte AG splicing process, white glass and carbon fiber are organically combined, almost do not stain fingerprints, the texture of the surface is very textured.
Looking at the back of the fuselage, its highly recognizable rear camera module design caught the author's attention for the first time. With the legendary version of the color scheme, the "panoramic porthole" of the machine looks like the "sunroof" of a racing car, and the simple and symmetrical design brings users a quite comfortable look.
This piece of "panoramic porthole" as a whole adopts the three-oxygen integration process, the metal part adopts the same space-grade aluminum alloy, after 24 processes, fourteen milling processes and physical sandblasting process, the dual main photograph above the porthole also outlines two silver-white "star rings", with three different colors and surface texture, the value is super high and more durable.
Turning back to the front of the phone, we can see that the front of the iQOO 9 uses a large flexible straight screen, not only the look and feel is refreshing, it is not easy to accidentally touch when holding the game, and the extremely narrow border design also makes the front screen of the machine account for up to 92.76%, and the edge display effect is complete.
This machine is also the first E5 light-emitting material 2D ultra-straight flexible screen, power consumption compared with the general E4 material screen increased by 20%. In terms of detailed configuration, this 6.78-inch medium pole E5 super retina screen supports up to 120Hz screen refresh rate + 360Hz touch sampling rate, and supports 30/60/90/120Hz four-stop adjustment, further saving power consumption and also allowing mobile phones to have an incomparably smooth screen sliding experience in daily use scenarios.
Overall, iQOO 9 inherits the classic design of the series of consistent "speed aesthetics" with a classic appearance color matching, and also uses the "panoramic porthole" design to innovate the concept, which is a good choice for mobile phone users who like the trendy appearance.
02 Performance: The new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform is blessed with a comprehensive experience
As we all know, the iQOO digital series has always been in the pursuit of the top performance, as the beginning of iQOO in 2022, iQOO 9 is equipped with Android's strongest flagship processor, the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, which uses a 4nm process, compared to Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 mobile platform peak performance increased by 20%, power consumption reduced by 30%, performance experience is stronger, endurance is longer. The author also conducted a test of Antu Rabbit and 3DMark running score on this machine, and the results are as follows:
It can be seen that the running score of iQOO 9 easily exceeded 1.02 million points, and the 3DMark score also reached 10024, which is in the first echelon of performance in the current flagship Android mobile phone, fully demonstrating the super strength of the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform.
IQOO 9 Standard Edition also supports enhanced version of LPDDR5 memory, with memory expansion can achieve 8GB+4GB, 12GB+4GB operation and storage effect. This series also debuts the overclocked version of UFS 3.1 with Sovit intelligent control, which is 86% faster sequential write speed and 20% lower power consumption than the old version of V6 UFS 3.1, which greatly shortens file installation time and improves file copy speed.
The author used iQOO 9 to test the current mainstream "Glory of the King", "Peace Elite" and "Original God" three games, and the actual measurement results were not unexpected:
Glory of Kings screen setting
The average frame rate is 117.3 frames, and there is no significant frame rate fluctuation during the regimental war
Peace Elite 90 frame mode and screen settings
The 90-frame mode of "Peace Elite" has no stuttering and dropped frames throughout the whole process
In "Glory of Kings" and "Peace Elite", the performance of iQOO 9 is almost perfect, and the overall play does not feel dropped frames and stuck. In order to further test the performance of the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, the author opened the "Original God" high-quality +60 frame mode, and carried out a large number of perspective switching, combat, flight, element explosion and other tests on the grassland outside the city, iQOO 9's frame rate performance can be generally stable at more than 58 frames, and the overall play is smooth.
"Original God" high-quality 60 frame mode and some screen settings
Average frame rate 58.1 frames
Just playing cool is not enough, iQOO 9 has also made real efforts in heat dissipation. This machine adopts a VC stereoscopic heat dissipation system composed of 100% stainless steel + 99.99% pure water liquid working medium, with a 3923mm2 large area to fully cover the core heating unit of the mobile phone, heat dissipation is faster and more powerful.
After 1 hour of Glory of Kings, the temperature only increased to 39.4°
If you have high requirements for the smoothness of the picture, then the iQOO 9 built-in independent display chip Pro can help you, which supports "increase frame rate" and "optimize power consumption" two modes. The "Boost Frame Rate" mode can automatically add a frame transition screen to 120 frames in the 60 frame rate moving picture, and the independent display chip Pro can share the rendering power for the GPU after turning on "Optimized Power Consumption", and the power is more durable.
After turning on the game interpolation "Increase Frame Rate" mode, you can insert to 120 frames in 60 frame mode to optimize the smoothness/power consumption of the picture
With the blessing of the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, the enhanced version of LPDDR5+ overclocking version UFS3.1, and the independent display chip Pro, iQOO 9's support for game performance requirements has surpassed the vast majority of mobile phones on the market. However, in order to enhance the user's play experience, the iQOO R&D team is also equipped with a variety of "sub-era black technology" in this machine, which the author will interpret in detail for you in the next paragraph.
03 Experience: The next era of full sense operating system 2.0 blessing, to help you score points
As an all-round e-sports flagship, iQOO 9 has built-in upgraded and iterated "sub-era" full-sense operating system 3.0, and has made great upgrades in game perception such as control, hearing, and touch.
Among them, the upgraded "dual control pressure under the screen" function supports the pressing key mapping of the left and right parts of the screen to achieve the operation effect of "two fingers to four fingers". For example, when playing "Peace Elite", you can use this function to complete operations such as quickly lying down, standing up, etc., and your body is flowing.
In terms of hearing, iQOO 9 is equipped with a new closed stereoscopic dual boom, and the amplitude of the upper and lower speakers is 0.55mm, and the ambient sound is more balanced. iQOO 9 also transfers the audio processing algorithm to the built-in NPU, which not only further reduces the power consumption of the CPU, but also realizes chip-level full-scene audio noise reduction, filters invalid noise, and blacks out non-stop.
In order to further enhance the user's sense of immersion in the game, iQOO 9 also adopts a new dual X-axis linear motor, which increases the steady-state vibration amount by 45%, and customizes different vibration feels according to the full skills of up to dozens of heroes in "Glory of Kings" and "League of Legends Mobile Game", as if they are in the battlefield.
4D game vibration option
The "panoramic porthole" design mentioned above not only has both functional and aesthetic appearance, but also has a good heat dissipation ability of the aerospace grade aluminum alloy material used inside. Due to the hierarchical structure of "three-oxygen integration", the air inside will further increase the heat dissipation effect, thereby further improving the user's holding experience.
iQOO 9 series also added a "death replay" function for "Glory of Kings" players, after opening, whenever the hero in the game dies, the system will automatically generate a 7-second video playback for players to analyze, compared to the simple damage value, the proportion is much more intuitive.
Death Replay function
In order to bring players more black play, iQOO 9 also has a built-in "voice changer" function, after opening, you can choose "uncle", "girl", "Zhengtai", "royal sister" and other sound effects. iQOO 9's built-in game tools also have many common features, which will not be repeated here, but each of them can take your gaming experience to the next level.
04 Other: 120W ultra-fast flash charge + 4700mAh battery, the original system support
In addition to the performance and heat dissipation ability, the most important thing about playing the game is whether the battery life is durable. iQOO 9 continues the 120W ultra-fast flash charging gene of the iQOO 8 series, and has a built-in 6C system battery with a capacity of up to 4700mAh, which is 10% higher than the previous generation, and the fuselage and feel are still light. The actual test results are as follows:
After testing, the iQOO 9 can be charged to 65% in 10 minutes and fully charged in 20 minutes. Of course, for users who like to charge at night, this machine also supports the smart charging 2.0 function, whenever the user is detected to connect the charger for a long time, iQOO 9 will charge the mobile phone battery to 80% and keep it, and the trickle full before the user gets up in the early morning, further improving the battery life.
Of course, the 4700mAh large battery life is also very good. The author conducted a 5-hour heavy battery life test on iQOO 9 based on the ZOL standard test process, including playing long videos, camera recording, brushing vibrato, playing games, brushing Taobao, and so on. In the end, the iQOO 9 still has 43% of the power left after the test is completed, which is also a significant improvement over the previous generation.
At the system level, iQOO 9 uses the original system of OriginOS Ocean, which not only greatly improves the lightweight and intuitive nature of the mobile operating system, but also brings many new features to the user, such as the "live wallpaper" function is very interesting, which can be deeply linked with the number of walking steps in the physical world: After choosing the "summit" live wallpaper, the system will gradually unlock 7 sections of the natural scenery of Mount Everest at different altitudes according to the user's daily steps, and finally reach the top, which is extremely shocking.
OriginOS has also added a very practical "atomic privacy system", which functions like a safe, and users can easily archive private content such as apps, pictures, videos, etc., and get strong protection from the system. When the user uses the atomic privacy system, the mobile phone will also intermittently identify the owner, if the visitor is not in person, all operations will be prohibited, and the privacy and security of the owner will be guarded anytime and anywhere.
In terms of imaging, the iQOO 9 is also equipped with a full-scene triple camera module including the industry's first 50-megapixel Samsung GN5 large-bottom gimbal main camera + 13-megapixel 120° ultra-wide-angle lens + 12-megapixel telephoto portrait lens. This main camera supports f/1.75 large aperture, 23mm focal length, unit pixel size of 1.0μm, high-definition photos straight out in one second.
05 Summary: The 2022 iQOO Battle of the Beginning of the Year was played beautifully
As one of the first Android models equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, iQOO 9 with excellent performance, rich peripheral configuration, a number of industry first technology to break the general user's "e-sports flagship model peripheral configuration is insufficient" inherent concept, in the early 2022 mobile phone market handed over a high score answer sheet, such a sincere mobile phone is worth buying.
