On January 5, iQOO officially released the new iQOO 9 series mobile phones. There is no doubt that this iQOO 9 series brings the industry's top configuration: the whole series of Samsung E5 AMOLED material screen, the whole series of 120W ultra-fast flash charge + 4700mAh super battery, the latest 50 million pixel Samsung GN5 outsole main camera and the new digital revolution OriginOS 2.0, overall, is to configure and experience all the products.

At the same time, as the flagship series of iQOO, the performance configuration will naturally not fall. The iQOO 9 series is not only equipped with the configuration combination of the enhanced version of LPDDR5 memory + the overclocking version of UFS 3.1 + independent display chip Pro, but also the new Snapdragon 8 processor as standard. So with the blessing of this new Snapdragon 8 processor, what level of performance experience has the iQOO 9 series been upgraded? Let's experience it with me.

As the strongest new Snapdragon 8 processor on the Android platform at present, I believe that friends who have paid a little attention to the technology circle have already understood. Let's briefly introduce here, the new Snapdragon 8 processor uses a 4nm process, the CPU uses a 1+3+4 triple cluster design, compared with the previous generation of Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, the peak performance of the new generation of Snapdragon 8 processor is increased by about 20%, and the power consumption is reduced by about 30%.
So how does this processor perform in general? Let's have the old rule, run the score first and then test.
Ann Rabbit and 3DMark running scores
It can be seen that whether it is Antu Rabbit or 3DMark, the running score of iQOO 9 is first-class. Of course, it's not just the processor that affects the performance experience, and excellent storage performance leads to faster applications and caching experiences. Many people may not know that the maximum support theoretical rate of the new Snapdragon 8 processor can reach 6400Mbps, so the iQOO 9 series is equipped with an enhanced version of LPDDR5 memory, according to official data, compared with the previous generation of LPDDR5 memory, the rate increased by about 16.3%.
At the same time, with the support of the Snapdragon 8 processor, the iQOO 9 series first launched the overclocking version of the UFS 3.1 high-speed memory chip, according to the official data shows that compared with the previous generation V6 UFS 3.1, the sequential write speed is increased by about 86%, the random write speed is increased by about 42%, and the power consumption is reduced by about 20%.
The introduction is almost over, let's go directly to the game testing link below, or choose our old friends "Glory of the King", "Peace Elite" and "Original God" three games for testing, while using PerfDog for real-time recording of the game frame rate.
Glory of Kings configuration and frame rate performance
Original God configuration and frame rate performance
It can be intuitively seen that the configuration of the three games is still very good in the case of full pulling. Here we will not talk about the stable performance of "Glory of Kings" and "Peace Elite", let's look at the performance of iQOO 9 Pro in "Original God". Although the frame number graph is not very stable, the overall average frame rate can still reach 57.3 frames, and it should be noted that this is still the performance of the picture quality adjustment to the highest. The overall fluency of the game is also worth affirming, and the scene of spawning monsters in the wild can basically stabilize at more than 55 frames.
Therefore, thanks to the "performance iron triangle" composed of the new Snapdragon 8 processor + enhanced version of LPDDR5 memory and the overclocked version of UFS 3.1, iQOO 9 Pro has sat firmly in the head echelon of the current Android camp in terms of performance.

For iQOO users, independent display chips should be no stranger, especially for mobile game enthusiasts, in-game interpolation frames can bring excellent play experience. For friends who are not too familiar with interpolation frames, we briefly introduce that interpolation frames are rendered by the independent display chip for the mobile phone GPU to share the rendering of half of the picture, and then insert transition frames between the two frames through the independent display chip, which can achieve the effect of ×2 of the original 45 and 60 frames until 90 and 120 frames. And interpolation can improve the smoothness of the game while bringing a reduction in the power consumption of the core heating components.
We have also tested many times iQOO independent display chip interpolation to bring the game experience, today we change an angle, to see if the interpolation frame has a practical effect on the reduction of the power consumption of the mobile phone, the most direct reaction is to open the interpolation before and after the change of the body temperature,
The first thing we measured was the pre-game temperature: at room temperature of around 24°C, the iQOO 9 Pro's body temperature was around 28.5°C.
Before the test
Then we conducted an half-hour test of "Protosthesis", and half an hour later, the temperature of the fuselage was 39.7 ° C.
Half an hour of "Original God"
Then we wait for the body temperature to return to about 28 ° C, turn on the "optimized power consumption" mode, and then carry out the original god test of "Original God" for half an hour, the fuselage temperature is 38.6 ° C, you can see that the power consumption reduction brought by interpolation is not a gimmick or has a practical effect.
Optimize Power Consumption test
However, what caught my attention in the test was that even if the "Optimized Power Consumption" mode was not turned on, the temperature performance of the iQOO 9 Pro was still remarkable, and the body temperature of the half-hour "Original God" play was less than 40 ° C, which was a very good result for any mobile phone.
According to the official introduction of iQOO, the iQOO 9 Pro is equipped with an eighteen-layer cascading VC stereoscopic heat dissipation system, covering a large area of VC vaporization plate of the core heating unit, which can achieve efficient heat conductivity through the phase transition of vaporization and liquefaction. In addition, under the screen of the iQOO 9 Pro, a 0.052mm thickness heat dissipation film is superimposed. According to the data, the average cooling of the screen in the bright screen state is 1.4 ~ 1.7 ° C to maintain the stability of the 2K E5 material screen in any state. At the same time, the design of the heat dissipation layer inside the panoramic porthole can also play a good heat dissipation effect, and thanks to this design, the heat source point on the back of the iQOO 9 Pro is about 2 °C lower than that on the front.
Although iQOO 9 Pro is an all-round high-end flagship, from the perspective of eighteen layers of VC stereoscopic heat dissipation and "optimized power consumption" interpolation, iQOO 9 Pro has not lost the original "e-sports gene" in performance.
3 Summary
It is only about a month away from the release of the new Snapdragon 8 processor, so the tuning time of various manufacturers for this new processor is limited. From the perspective of these new machines I have personally touched, the iQOO 9 series should be the most suitable for this processor at present. Although it is in the main "all-round high-end flagship", under the blessing of iQOO's excellent e-sports genes, the performance experience of the iQOO 9 series is still sitting in the first echelon of the current Android camp. For users who love iQOO mobile phones or have the need to change machines, the iQOO 9 series is definitely the flagship that is most worth starting in the New Year.
