Since the birth of the iQOO Z series, every step has stepped on the core point of consumer demand, it does not have a top luxury configuration, but it can start from the consumer's point of view, under the cost constraints based on the mature configuration of exquisite collocation, the combination of a comprehensive experience, obvious differentiation of the power of the model.
Not long ago, the iQOO Z5 was officially released, and then won the first place in the Android mid-range mobile phone performance ranking in October (12GB+256GB version), the three-hour light endurance test champion of the Small White Evaluation, and the champion of mobile phone sales in the double 11 Jingdong 1.5K-2.5K price segment. It is inevitable to wonder, what kind of magic does the iQOO Z5 have? Under the pressure of the strong models of competitors such as Redmi and Honor, it has become the "leader" in the industry.
Performance: Enough is also a science
According to the Performance Ranking of Android Mid-range Mobile Phones in October, the most common processor in the mid-range sector is the Snapdragon 778G, and a few models are equipped with Tianji 900 or Tianji 820 or Kirin 985. As the mainstream Snapdragon 778G, it is also subdivided into "three,six nine and so on" in the mobile phone because of the difference in auxiliary performance configuration.
The iQOO Z5 became the first in mid-range performance, the main factor was the full-blood version of LPDDR5 and full-blood version of UFS 3.1, while models such as Xiaomi Civi and Honor 50 Pro generally adopted LPDDR4X and UFS 2.2. The query learned that the full-blood version of LPDDR5 has a rate of 6400Mbps, while the LPDDR4X has only 4266Mbps, the former is more than 50% ahead, and has an absolute advantage in the retrieval and caching of super large volume data.
Without further ado, go straight to the hardware performance test and see what the iQOO Z5 is all about. In the Antu rabbit running score, the total score of iQOO Z5 is 548607 points, cpu, MEM, UX score is above the middle, GPU score is slightly lower, and the frame rate performance of the game test link needs to be paid attention to; and in AndroBench, the sequential read and write speed and random read and write speed of iQOO Z5 have surpassed the same price model, but there is still a certain gap from the flagship model; GeekBench 5, iQOO Z5 single-core performance is 793, multi-core performance is 2973, It belongs to the snapdragon 778G normal play results.
Based on hardware performance, iQOO Z5 is not strong in performance, but it is relatively sufficient, as for the actual game performance, we still use data to speak:
The iQOO Z5 adapts to the 90-frame mode of Honor of Kings, so the average frame rate in the game has reached 89.8 frames, and only 0.2 frames away can achieve the full frame effect. The reason why the iQOO Z5 has such a stunning frame rate performance is inseparable from the "GPU Control Panel" function, which allows the iQOO Z5 to actively schedule GPU performance to enhance image quality performance. In the "Glory of Kings" game, the author chose the "high quality" mode, thus obtaining a more stable frame rate.
iQOO Z5 is also full of surprises in the polishing of game details, among which the "hang-up mode" allows the author to cut the screen to other APPS during the hero's death stage, and the "hero resurrection countdown" displayed in suspension makes the author have a bottom in mind, and can switch back to the game before the resurrection.
In "Peace Elite", the average frame rate of iQOO Z5 reached 59.8 frames, which is decent, but the stability is strong, which is enough for ordinary players. The emergence of stereo dual speakers is a sublimation of the game experience, which makes the iQOO Z5 game sound effect more stereoscopic, allowing the author to judge the direction of the enemy according to the rich information in the sound.
With the support of the flagship VC liquid cooling system, the heat dissipation performance of the iQOO Z5 is also good, with the highest temperature of 44.4 °C on the front of the fuselage and the highest temperature of 42.2 °C on the back of the fuselage, which means that the mobile phone can efficiently diffuse the core temperature outward.
Testing "Original God", purely for the purpose of "abusing" iQOO Z5 - the author's previous test of Xiaomi 11 Ultra, Glory Magic3 Pro and other models of "Original God" performance is not ideal, there is a wide range of serious heat, frame rate after locking the frame rate cliff phenomenon, so want to understand how bad the performance of iQOO Z5's "Original God" will be. The test results show that the maximum frame rate of the iQOO Z5 is 40 frames, the average frame rate is stable at 39.2 frames, and there will be a small drop in the frame rate during the game transition. Although it is not as high as the flagship model's high frame rate performance, it is also very important that the iQOO Z5 is stable enough, and the small frame rate fluctuation is also a huge gain for the experience.
Endurance charging: Industry-leading is justified
Since entering the 5G era, the "volume" of various experiences of smart phones has become more and more violent, and the power consumption has also risen, so the battery life and charging experience have been paid close attention to. iQOO Z5 is very willing to use materials, the fuselage is directly stuffed with a 5000mAh super large battery, while the standard 44W wired flash charge, endurance and charging capacity has been guaranteed.
In order to test the actual battery life performance of the iQOO Z5, the author simulated the use scenario and conducted a 4.5-hour heavy battery life test:
1 hour online video, 1080P quality, 50% volume, 50% brightness;
1 hour online Bluetooth music, start audio super score and Super Audio function, 50% volume, 50% brightness;
30 minutes of Glory of kings, 90 frame mode, ultra-high resolution, 50% volume, 50% brightness;
30 minutes e-book, during which pages are turned according to the actual reading situation, 50% brightness...
In actual use, the battery life of the iQOO Z5 is relatively optimistic, the total power consumption is only 35%, while the remaining power is as high as 65%. The "Glory of kings" test session consumes relatively high power, but it is only 7%, which means that users can play 90 frames of the king for 7 consecutive hours in a full power state, which is simply soft. Overall, the endurance of iQOO Z5, as Xiaobai Review said, has reached the first level in the industry, and there is basically no pressure for users to use normally for a whole day.
The 44W flash charge of iQOO Z5 belongs to the normal configuration at the same price point, but compared with other models, the battery capacity of iQOO Z5 is as high as 5000mAh, which is bound to increase the full power time, and the actual charging performance is worrying. The final test results showed that the worry was superfluous, and the iQOO Z5 took 20 minutes to charge 44%, 30 minutes to charge 60%, 50 minutes to charge 91%, and 61 minutes to fully charge. It is obvious that the iQOO Z5's 44W flash charge is fully committed to the whole process, and there is no trickle charge to extend the charging time.

As a mid-range machine, the iQOO Z5 is more to meet the most basic camera demands of consumers. So, can the iQOO Z5's 64MP main camera + 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens + 2MP macro lens meet the basic demands? I took a set of photos, and we looked directly at the picture.
Ultra wide angle
In ultra-wide-angle mode, the iQOO Z5 is satisfactory for shooting large objects, the picture color is accurate, and the distortion variables are very small, but when facing subtle objects, the detail resolution of the 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens is obviously insufficient, such as license plates, road signs are not very clear, and the woods are also pasted together.
Lead camera
In the face of close-up, the 64-megapixel main camera dispelled the author's doubts about the iQOO Z5. During the day, the iQOO Z5 can maximize the details in the frame, and the picture expression is good. Moreover, the photo color of iQOO Z5 is more pleasing to the eye, which is suitable for directly sending the circle of friends to "harvest" likes. In the night environment, the picture tolerance of the iQOO Z5 is not bad, the light is real, the dark part also has details retained, the night sky is processed relatively pure, there is no serious noise phenomenon, and the lighting does not affect the phone's capture of surrounding details.
Macro
Facing a closer object, you need to ask out a 2-megapixel macro lens. Based on the photos, the iQOO Z5's shooting effect is worthy of praise, it can accurately focus on the decorative lights, retaining the necessary details, while the bokeh effect of the surrounding objects is uniform and delicate.
black gold
Blue orange
Green orange
Silver orange
In fact, the night view of the iQOO Z5 has more playability. The iQOO Z5 supports seven styles, including black gold, blue ice, green orange, and cyberpunk, which apply cool and warm tones with more prominent visual effects on the basis of the original tones, bringing a stronger visual impact to the night scene.
Summary: The price starts from 1,000 yuan, and the new choice of good machines
As a product priced at a price of 1,000 yuan, the game performance of iQOO Z5 has been among the first echelon, because it is based on the performance combination of Snapdragon 778G + full blood version LPDDR5 + full blood version UFS 3.1, supporting the near-full frame experience of many games, for users who like "Glory of kings", it can also provide a high frame mode of 90 frames, which is very valuable.
iQOO Z5 in order to make the user's performance experience more comfortable, but also built-in a 5000mAh large battery, based on the measured results to see that heavy use can run for a day, light use of the whole day or even longer is not a problem. After the 44W flash charge appeared, the charging efficiency rose sharply, making the iQOO Z5's body more robust.
Coupled with the 64-megapixel rear triple camera, OriginOS for iQOO system, 120Hz refresh rate, dream space color matching, iQOO Z5 has been within the limited price, tends to perfectly interpret the meaning of "comprehensive balance without shortcomings". Under the influence of iQOO Z5, it is believed that the circle will be "rolled" more violently, and consumers can harvest more good machines.
