Growing up, I tried many types of recreational pastimes. Games will always be my favorite pastime. Unlike my crazy AAA masterpieces when I was a student, after entering the society, I didn't have much time to play games all night in front of the computer or console, so mobile games that could be played at any time became my new favorite.
With the continuous improvement of smartphone performance, the graphics of mobile games are becoming more and more exquisite, and the frame rate setting is getting higher and higher. If you want a great gaming experience, the test of your phone's performance increases.
iQOO 9
Experience great gaming phones often have a pompous appearance and are less suitable for everyday use. After several rounds of careful selection, I finally chose the recently released iQOO 9 as the main console for future games, as to why I chose iQOO 9, let's take a look down together.
01 Performance: Add a left arm and right arm for snapdragon 8 to make the phone strong and calm
As a performance flagship, iQOO 9 adopts the flagship standard new generation Snapdragon 8 processor, which uses a 4nm process, which is 20% higher than the qualcomm Snapdragon 888 mobile platform peak performance, 30% lower power consumption, stronger performance experience, longer battery life.
In addition, iQOO 9 is equipped with an enhanced version of LPDDR5 memory, with memory expansion can achieve the effect of up to 12GB + 4GB of storage, at the same time, iQOO 9 debuted the ultra-oculated version of UFS 3.1 with Sovit intelligent control, compared with the old version of V6 UFS 3.1 sequential write speed increased by 86%, power consumption reduced by 20%, greatly shortening file installation time and improving file copy speed.
To test the performance of iQOO 9, I set up two different test items for the phone: the running score test and the game test.
The first is the running score test. Here I chose Antu Rabbit and 3DMark two software, according to the actual measurement results, iQOO 9's Antu Rabbit score easily exceeded 1.02 million points, 3DMark score also reached 10024, in the current flagship Android mobile phone performance is in the first echelon, fully showing the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform super strength.
Then there is the game test, here I used iQOO 9 to test the current mainstream "Glory of the King", "Peace Elite", "Original God" three games, the actual measurement results are as follows:
Glory of Kings picture quality setting
Glory of Kings frame rate performance
The quality of "Peace Elite" is set
Peace Elite frame rate performance
"Original God" picture quality setting
"Original God" frame rate performance
In "Glory of Kings" and "Peace Elite", the performance of iQOO 9 is almost perfect, and the overall play has not encountered any problems with frame drops and stuttering. 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.
It's not enough to play well, iQOO 9 has also put a real effort into 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.
In order to test the fever of iQOO 9, I used iQOO 9 to play "Original God" for half an hour in a high-quality setting, and measured and recorded the temperature of the mobile phone before and after the game, and the results were as follows:
Average fuselage temperature before testing
The average temperature of the fuselage after half an hour of play
It can be seen that after running the game for half an hour, the maximum temperature of the fuselage is only 39.7 degrees Celsius. The iQOO 9's fuselage back heat can be felt throughout the game, which is not serious, and will not affect the operation in the game battle.
If you have high requirements for the smoothness of the picture, the iQOO 9 built-in independent display chip Pro can help you, which supports "improving frame rate" and "optimizing power consumption" two modes. The "Boost Frame Rate" mode can automatically add a frame transition screen to 120 frames in the 60 frame rate of the 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.
When the "Boost Frame Rate" mode is enabled, 120 frames can be inserted in 60 frames mode to optimize picture fluency/power consumption
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, the performance of iQOO 9 has surpassed most models on the market. But just the performance is not enough, in order to make you feel more comfortable playing the game, iQOO 9 also equipped itself with a variety of "next era black technology", want to know how the specific performance continues to look down.
02 Experience: From visual to tactile, give you a great experience in all aspects
When it comes to the use experience, the first thing worth talking about is the screen, as the only way to present information, the screen of the smartphone directly determines how we experience using the phone. And this screen of iQOO 9 is worth taking a closer look.
iQOO 9 uses a 6.78-inch flexible AMOLED direct screen, for gamers, the straight screen compared to the curved screen, although it can not bring a close to the bezel-less look and feel, but can greatly reduce the accidental touch affecting the game operation. And thanks to the ultra-narrow border design, iQOO 9 can achieve an ultra-high screen ratio of 92.76%, bringing users a more immersive full-screen experience.
At the same time, the screen of iQOO 9 is also the first 2D ultra-straight flexible screen with E5 luminous material, and the power consumption is 20% higher than that of the general E4 material screen. In addition, this 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.
In addition to the excellent display effect, the upgraded "double control pressure under the screen" function also supports the pressing key mapping on the left and right parts of the screen to achieve the operation effect of "two fingers to four fingers". For example, in "Peace Elite", you can use this function to complete operations such as quickly lying down, standing up, etc., and your body is flowing.
"Dual control pressure sensitivity under the screen" function
In order to allow users to get a more powerful listening experience, iQOO 9 is equipped with a new closed stereo dual speaker, the upper and lower speakers amplitude is 0.55mm, 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.
Stereo dual speakers
In order to further enhance the user's sense of immersion in the game, iQOO 9 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.
Turn on the 4D game vibration sensor function
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 has a built-in "voice changer" function, which can choose "uncle", "girl", "zhengtai", "royal sister" and other sound effects after opening. iQOO 9's built-in gaming tools also have many common features, each of which can take your gaming experience to the next level.
03 Summary
What does it take to build an esports flagship? iQOO 9 gave a good answer with its own performance. Based on the powerful Snapdragon 8 chip, supplemented by the Diefall VC stereoscopic cooling system and the independent display chip Pro, the mobile phone is more calm while the game experience is excellent.
Secondly, iQOO 9 is further optimized in software and peripheral configuration, the next era of full sense operating system 3.0 to provide users with a full range of experience from hearing to touch, and the many game optimization functions provided by OriginOS can make the game experience smoother, to achieve a true combination of soft and hard.
Overall, although iQOO 9 is the main "all-round high-end flagship", but under the blessing of the e-sports gene of the iQOO brand, the performance of iQOO 9 can still be said to be in the first echelon of the Android camp, for those who want to get a smooth game experience, but do not want to buy a game phone, iQOO 9 is undoubtedly a good choice.
