iQOO Neo9 Pro: Far from it
In addition to the volume running score and game frame rate, how else can a performance mobile phone roll? Today I finally have the answer.
Recently, AI New Connection participated in an iQOO Neo9 series dual-core game performance technology communication meeting, in which AI New Connection saw the direction of the performance flagship "more extreme performance release, more extreme power consumption control, more extreme touch, and more extreme visual effects".
Make an important point: The above four points are not a relationship of choice, but both, want, and, all of them.
Take the upcoming iQOO Neo9 Pro as an example, the machine is equipped with the latest full-core Dimensity 9300 + self-developed e-sports chip Q1 combination, it can be seen through the official data, under the premise of Genshin Impact + voice call multitasking, 30 minutes of game test, the average frame rate of Neo9 Pro is close to full frame, which is not only higher than the flagship of competitors9 frames, but also maintains the same power consumption level, that is, under the premise of unchanged power consumption, it brings a more extreme performance release.
At the same time, in the more aggressive Genshin Impact 1.5K super-resolution + 72 frames super-frame concurrency mode, its Genshin Impact average frame rate is close to a straight line, compared with the 2K ordinary super-resolution +45FPS frame rate of the competitor only maintained a stable frame rate for 15 minutes, iQOO Neo9 Pro is not only more stable, but also significantly better than the flagship model of the competitor. Super frame super-resolution concurrency and ultra-long frame stabilization, which can only be achieved with iQOO's self-developed e-sports chip Q1.
On the premise of super-frame to 144 frames, the latency of clicking and swiping is lower than that of the native 60-frame mode, truly achieving zero delay and zero-sense super-frame, allowing players to experience a smooth gaming experience with high-quality super-resolution and super-frame concurrency without compromise.
In addition, iQOO is different from other competitors' solutions of "simple sharpness" and "resolution increase", on the basis of improving the original resolution of the game, it also recognizes and perceives the content of the picture through AI, and further enhances the details and light and shadow of the front and rear scenes of the entire picture, coupled with the intelligent adjustment of the frame rate, bringing visible image quality improvement.
If the previous super-resolution functions were 1.0 and 2.0, then I prefer to call iQOO's solution full-link super-resolution 3.0.
Seeing this, I believe many people will have a question, they are all flagship chips, why does iQOO have such a clear leading edge?
With the blessing of blue technology, iQOO stands on the shoulders of giants and moves forward
In November this year, Blue Technology made its debut, which can be described as a shocking technology, especially the "Blue Crystal Chip Technology Stack", which represents that the blue factory has entered the early definition of the flagship SoC, and its first Dimensity 9300 is a flagship chip with a full core architecture jointly conceived and created by vivo and MediaTek 3 years ago, and the two sides have also established a joint laboratory, focusing on AI, performance, imaging, display, battery life, games, communications, It not only has the CPU performance comparable to Apple's A17 Pro, but also has the strongest GPU and AI capabilities in the current Android camp.
It is precisely because of the long-term layout in the deep water area of cutting-edge chips that the development of vivo's self-developed chips is also extremely rapid, from V1 to V3, and then to iQOO's first self-developed e-sports chip Q1, 4 self-developed chips and a variety of products in 2 years continue to improve the user experience, not only fast-paced, but also performance has been recognized by users.
There are two important points here:
The first point is to define the essence of SoC is that "the chip is specially designed for software, and the software is optimized for the chip", that is, the relationship between Apple's self-developed SoC and iOS, and the real sense of "software and hardware integration" design.
Although today's vivo does not make its own core, it is also gradually realizing a similar closed-loop link, so as to continue to break through the performance boundary of Android mobile phones, so there is also the tone of "Dimensity 9300 is born for X100", so iQOO Neo9 Pro is equipped with this flagship core, and naturally there will be the same treatment.
The second point is that since the first self-developed chip V1, vivo and SoC manufacturers have invested a lot of money in joint debugging with engineers, and now they have a mature joint debugging system to truly realize the seamless collaboration of the bottom layer of the system, so as to achieve the performance release of 1+1 greater than 2.
It is understood that vivo has two teams in the performance e-sports track: a chip technology team and a game technology team. The chip team will realize chip development, as well as the combination of software algorithms and hardware, which is jointly built by iQOO and vivo, with more than 300 people, and the game technology team is more for iQOO, with nearly 100 people.
"iQOO has always focused on the performance track of e-sports games, and hopes to continue to pursue the limits of product experience, so when developing products, it will pursue super resolution, super frame and super good image quality, but while doing a good job in these experiences, it is inevitable to avoid the problem of mobile phone power consumption, so this requires self-developed chips, algorithms and IP design," Luo Feng, vice president of iQOO products, once mentioned. Among them, the core is the chip and algorithm, which we must do thoroughly and continue to do, because the investment in the early stage is indeed relatively large, and we have to rush to the front first. ”
On the basis of such achievements, iQOO will do further in-depth joint debugging and optimization, which will naturally get twice the result with half the effort, standing on the shoulders of giants, and perfectly integrating the two achievements, like a tiger with wings.
Adhere to long-termism and pursue the ultimate e-sports experience
In addition to the blessing of blue technology, the reason why iQOO is far ahead in the performance track is that it "does not forget its original intention, adheres to long-termism, and is user-centric".
"Born strong, more than exploratory" is the brand gene set by iQOO at the beginning of its establishment in 2019, and after 4 years, it has accumulated nearly 40 million users in the Chinese market.
In a recent interview, Cheng Gang, President of iQOO Global Marketing, once again emphasized that iQOO's positioning will not change to make a top-performance, smooth and easy-to-use mobile phone for users who love e-sports and games.
At the same time, Cheng Gang believes that there is still a broad space for the track of e-sports, and there is a lot of room for continuous iteration of digital consumer products based on performance and e-sports. As we continue to stock up on our knowledge and technology, we will find that there are many things that we need to improve, and there is still a lot of room to make the experience better.
It is precisely because of this awe of performance and experience that iQOO can continue to explore and pursue the ultimate gaming experience.
In addition, iQOO's long-termism is also reflected in the choice of technical routes, starting from Neo5, iQOO is the only brand in the industry that firmly follows the dual-core technology route, creating a new era of high-frame and low-power gaming experience for mobile phones, 3 years and 10 generations of products, from customized independent display chips to self-developed e-sports chips, constantly breaking through the performance limit at the same time, bringing better power consumption, so as to make the product experience better, higher operation efficiency, and more exquisite visual effects.
All of the above is essentially a design-driven behavior to "improve the user's gaming experience and solve the user's gaming pain points".
In terms of practical operation, for example, in order to allow Kuke to get an event-level control experience, iQOO specially invited KPL star team and Weibo team WBG academy players to conduct multiple rounds of game experience, single interviews, etc., and through months of continuous testing, the ultimate adjustment of the control experience was carried out, and finally the full-link optimization from game software rendering, to algorithms, to display modules was completed, so as to achieve the industry-leading "super touch solution".
Here we will not expand on the unique technologies such as the self-developed V-SR algorithm, super-sensitive touch V-Sync technology, and frame perception technology 2.0, but only a few achievements:
In the opening scene of the Peace Elite, the latency of the iQOO Neo9 Pro is nearly 37% ahead of its competitors.
In the 100-hour ultra-long touch test, the Neo9 Pro keeps touching, and it is known as the strongest touch control in Android.
And so on, coupled with the test results on frame rate stability and power consumption at the beginning, iQOO has been comprehensively cultivated and continuously accumulated in areas of user concern such as performance, power consumption, touch, visual effects, etc., so that there is a burst of nuclear energy of today's iQOO Neo9 Pro, the all-large core Dimensity 9300+ self-developed e-sports chip Q1, dual-core and dual-buff, raising the upper limit of game performance and breaking the power consumption ceiling.
It can be said that iQOO gives the optimal solution for the current gaming experience.
Editor's note:
With the optimization of jointly defined flagship SoCs, self-developed gaming chips, self-developed algorithms, system-level optimization, and core components, iQOO has achieved the optimization of game performance from chips, to hardware, to algorithms, and to the system, which is also the confidence of its courage to challenge the flagships.
In addition, although the iQOO Neo9 Pro is a performance flagship, its design, feel, image, battery life, etc. are not compromised, and all have good performance, and the machine will undoubtedly become a very competitive model in the next 3K file.
