At the beginning of this year, friends rolled up the boom of mid-range machines, which are different from the previous high-end machines, because of the price ceiling, the mid-range machines cannot be like flagship machines, and the configuration is piled high. And I found that this mid-range machine rolls up, and it really dares to "play" even its own flagship, just like the iQOO Z9 series just released today, regardless of game performance, daily photography, battery life, fast charging, daily experience, the configuration of the entire product has also brought a new mid-range machine height, and even the configuration of the flagship machine, this review is based on iQOO Z9 Turbo content, and will also share the content of iQOO Z9 Standard Edition and iQOO Z9x.
A brief review of the appearance
The appearance of the iQOO Z9 series is simple, the appearance of the iQOO Z9 Turbo and Z9 is similar to its own iQOO12, with a straight screen on the front, which is more suitable for gamers' needs for screens. And my experience this time is the starlight white color, the back of the fuselage uses a warm white back cover, the design of the camera is also a continuation of the iQOO digital series [porthole design], the back of the fuselage is extended to the position of the bezel, it is too natural, and the feel of the whole machine is still good. The whole fuselage, although it has a built-in 6000mAh blue ocean battery and a large capacity, still brings a 7.98mm thin and light body, which still surprises me.
Configure the experience
The first point that surprised me this time in the Z9 series is this screen,iQOO Z9 Turbo and iQOO Z9 are equipped with a 6.78-inch C8 light-emitting material screen,And support144HzHigh refresh rate at the same time,It also makes great efforts in eye protection;support3840HzUltra-high frequency PWM dimming+DC dimming hardware eye protection。 In terms of display experience, with 1.5K resolution and 452ppi, this screen can bring very delicate visual effects when watching videos or games.
And the most surprising thing about this screen is that it has a local peak brightness of 4500nit, which can bring a very good experience when we watch HDR videos on this mobile phone, especially when watching that kind of dim picture, the dark part can also see some details on this screen that other mobile phones can't see. Another is that in the strong light outdoors, this screen can also bring a clear display experience.
And such a high-spec screen, I have only seen it on flagship phones on the market, so iQOO can put such an excellent screen into the Z series products, and I obviously feel that iQOO explores the needs of Z series users and the determination to do a good job in products when making products.
The second point that surprised me is the performance configuration of the mobile phone, iQOO Z9 Turbo is equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor in terms of processor, and at the same time with the latest LPDDR5X + UFS4.0 memory configuration combination, bringing the most advanced performance iron triangle, and in terms of gaming, it also adds a separate graphics chip Turbo. This time, iQOO Z9 Turbo has added iQOO's self-developed frame rate perception technology in terms of gaming experience, which deeply adjusts the platform performance through real-time, frame-by-frame AI intelligent prediction and scheduling, bringing smooth game control, and I also have an actual gaming experience.
In the actual game test, I tested "Honor of Kings", "Peace Elite" and "Genshin Impact" (Genshin Impact was tested twice) to actually feel the game performance of this mobile phone. First of all, I measured "Honor of Kings", and the game performance was very stable after a game, with an average frame rate of 119.9 frames per game.
Next, let's test a game of "Peace Elite", because we tested it before it went on sale, so the test did not adapt to the game frame rate of 90 frames at the moment, and the average frame rate of a game was 60 frames.
For many users, they are very concerned about the game experience of "Genshin Impact", the average frame rate of the measured 30-minute game is 61 frames, and there is no reduction in brightness and image quality throughout the process, it has always been a high-quality output, and the actual experience of the whole game is very handy and smooth. After turning on frame insertion, the average frame rate for 30 minutes is 45 frames, because when interpolating frames, PerfDog can only monitor the game frame rate of the phone itself, and the physical experience is to monitor the frame rate x2, which is the game experience of 90 frames.

iQOO Z9 Turbo in terms of heat dissipation, using up to 6043mm² VC vapor chamber area of the same level as iQOO12, the game configuration upgrade at the same time to achieve "Anxin heat dissipation", after two rounds of games, I also carried out temperature tests respectively, the maximum temperature on the back of the phone before the frame insertion is 48°C, the maximum temperature on the front is 47.7°C, and the maximum temperature is in the position of the CPU. The temperature is alleviated after the insertion, with a maximum temperature of 46.4°C on the back and 46.9°C on the front. From these data, it can be seen that the Turbo graphics chip and the powerful heat dissipation stack will indeed bring a smoother gaming experience.

The iQOO Z9 released at the same time uses Qualcomm's third-generation Snapdragon 7 mobile platform, and I have also conducted actual game tests, and the average frame rate of a game of "Honor of Kings" is 121 frames, and the average frame rate of a game of "Peace Elite" is 59.9 frames, so it can be seen that if your main game is not a large game, iQOO Z9 can handle most games.

Imaging experience
Now more and more people pay attention to the image of the mobile phone,iQOO Z9 Turbo and iQOO Z9 are the same in terms of image,The main camera uses Sony's custom light metaphor LYT-600 main camera,have5000000000 pixels,And add OISOntic image stabilization,It brings better assurance for imaging At the same time,When shooting at night,You will not miss some good photos because of hand shaking。 At the same time, the iQOO Z9 Turbo is paired with an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens to bring a "non-counted" image configuration (iQOO Z9 is equipped with a 2-megapixel depth-of-field lens).
In actual shooting, whether it is for daily well-lit scenes, or in some scenes with complex lighting, iQOO Z9 Turbo can be easily controlled, the sample performance is rich in color, and the details are fully captured.
Endurance experience
For most users, in the past two years, many people are still pursuing the kind of mobile phone that is both thin and light and has a large battery, and this kind of product that needs both and needs is perfectly presented on the iQOO Z9 Turbo this time. Both the iQOO Z9 Turbo and the iQOO Z9 are equipped with the largest capacity 6000mAh blue ocean battery in history, which is jointly developed by vivo and Ningde New Energy, which is also one of the few similar products in the current product with such a large battery.
I also conducted a five-hour battery life test on the iQOO Z9 Turbo, including 1 hour of 1080P high-bitrate video playback, 1 hour of "Honor of Kings" game experience, 1 hour of Weibo browsing, 30 minutes of short video and 30 minutes of shopping experience, and after five hours of actual testing, there was still 59% left Compared with most flagship machines on the market, this battery life adopts 5000mAh or 5500mAh scheme, which can bring nearly half a day of use, which can be said to be very powerful, if you are a heavy user of mobile phones, you can use it for a full day, without battery life anxiety.
In terms of charging and blood recovery, iQOO Z9 Turbo and iQOO Z9 support 80W wired fast charging, measured from 2% to full charge, it takes 52 minutes and 30 seconds to fully charge, and in more than 20 minutes, you can charge half of the power of the mobile phone.
More configuration experiences
For those who want and want, this phone seems to have given too much, however, the iQOO Z9 Turbo seems to know that their users are like this, so they give a lot of money. For example, this time, all Z9 series have brought IP64 dust and water resistance, bringing reliable daily experience protection, and at the same time, the iQOO Z9 series has added a new wet hand touch function, which will not slide and jump when controlling the screen with wet hands.
And under the experience of the OriginOS 4 system, the Blue Heart V based on the AI Blue Heart model has been added, which can not only answer all our questions like a teacher who knows everything, but also add a lot of practical functions, such as: text creation, image generation, video editing and other generative AI experiences, which help us improve efficiency and bring richer creative inspiration. And, through our needs, bring the function of one-click direct access.
In terms of other configurations, such as full-featured NFC, infrared, X-axis linear motor, stereo speakers, etc., are all in place for users.
For many game users, hoping to play games in a stable experience, iQOO has brought a magnetic cooling back clip this time, with a 19.9mm thickness and 69g weight of the lightweight body, which can better fit the mobile phone at the same time, through the magnetic way, saving the space up and down the horizontal mobile phone, so that we can better control the game. While the heat dissipation effect is excellent, the versatility is also excellent, if you are an Apple user, you can also bring a better heat dissipation experience to your mobile phone through magnetic suction.
In addition to the iQOO Z9 Turbo and iQOO Z9 shared with you above, in this press conference, the iQOO Z9x was also released, which is a mobile phone that focuses on long battery life, but such a product still does not stretch in terms of configuration. Inheriting the design language of the iQOO Z9 series, the front uses a 6.72-inch LCD high-brightness screen, equipped with a 6000mAh battery, such a set of configurations, for some users who are not too keen on performance, but want a card and long battery life, this phone must be considered.
