Qualcomm released the Snapdragon 7 + Gene3 and Snapdragon 8s Gen3 chips, Xiaomi and OPPO have new phones, vivo also has them, but the release of the new machine is a little later, and it will not be released until April 24.
vivo has both Snapdragon 8s Gen3 and Snapdragon 7+ Gen3, the first vivo phone equipped with Snapdragon 8s Gen3 is the iQOO Z9 Turbo, judging from the official publicity, the iQOO Z9 Turbo is very likely to be the strongest performance in this wave of mid-range phones.
iQOO's mid-to-high-end flagships are all e-sports gaming mobile phones, Z9 Turbo belongs to the flagship model of the mid-range Z series, and it is also a game-based performance flagship from the naming point of view, and performance is the strongest advantage of Z9 Turbo, so at the beginning, iQOO announced the Antutu running score of Z9 Turbo - 1.76 million +, which is higher than the score of Redmi Turbo3.
Snapdragon 8sGen3 uses the same architecture as Snapdragon 8Gen3, but after all, it is not a true flagship, it is impossible to surpass Snapdragon 8Gen3, the CPU performance is not lost, the GPU is a bit of a laggard, the actual performance is not as good as Snapdragon 8Gen3, even compared with Snapdragon 8Gen2.
Xiaomi CIVI4 Pro equipped with Snapdragon 8s Gen3 has an Antutu score of 1.46 million+, Snapdragon 8 Gen2 has a score of 1.61 million+, and Snapdragon 8 Gen3 has a score of 2 million+.
According to Qualcomm's consistent approach, Snapdragon 8Gen3 will be decentralized to the mid-range market in the second half of the year, Snapdragon 8Gen2 will be completely delisted, and Snapdragon 8sGen3 will also be decentralized to thousand-yuan machines. Mobile phone manufacturers have long recognized this, so Xiaomi only launched Xiaomi CIVI4 Pro, a mid-range flagship with average sales, and the real volume model was handed over to Redmi Turbo3.
OPPO is all 1,000 yuan machines, and the iQOO Z9 Trubo from the blue factory is estimated to be a mid-range mobile phone priced at 1999 yuan.
In addition to the Snapdragon 8s Gen3, the Z9 Turbo also has an independent graphics chip Turbo, coupled with an area of up to 6000 square millimeters of VC liquid cooling, better heat dissipation performance, and more stable games.
In fact, the configuration of the iQOO Z9 Turbo has been confirmed a long time ago, and the appearance has been redesigned, the shape and color are not much different from the iQOO 12, more like the low-profile version of the iQOO 12, and the body material has also been changed from glass to plastic.
The screen is a 6.78-inch 2800x1260 resolution 1.5K Gao Tsinghua Star Optoelectronics AMOLED flexible straight screen, C8 luminous material, local peak brightness up to 4500nit, and supports 144Hz gaming refresh rate. In terms of eye protection, there are three modes, one is low-brightness 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming + high-level DC dimming, the other is low-brightness 3840Hz ultra-high frequency PWM dimming, and the third is full-brightness DC dimming, users only need to choose according to their actual situation, which can be said to be one of the best solutions at present.
In terms of battery life, iQOO Z9 Turbo has a built-in 6000mAh large battery, and it is also the first 6000mAh large battery launched by the blue factory after the blue ocean battery is enabled.
However, the charging speed is a little worse, only 80W.
In terms of price, the starting price of iQOO Neo9 is 2299 yuan, and the positioning of iQOO Z9 Tubro is one level lower than that of Neo9, and it will definitely not exceed Neo9, and it is expected that the price of the 12GB+256GB version will be set at about 1999 yuan. I have to say that the Z9 Turbo has such a strong configuration, but the price is so low, it is very close to the people.
It's impossible to get a flagship-level experience at this price, and the Z9 Turbo also has a plastic middle frame, but a frosted glass back.
So, iQOO Z9 Turbo or Redmi Turbo3, which one will you choose?
