On April 24, 2024, iQOO officially released a new generation of mid-range flagship benchmark iQOO Z9 series, bringing three new products: Z9 Turbo, Z9 and Z9x. The "Turbo" of the iQOO Z9 series represents iQOO's higher requirements for itself, its response to users' needs, and its insight and exploration of industry trends, bringing the strongest performance in the history of the iQOO Z series, the largest ultra-thin blue ocean battery in history, and also has a thin and light feel.
The iQOO Z9 Turbo is equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8s mobile platform, the Turbo graphics chip, and a 6000mAh ultra-thin blue ocean battery. In terms of appearance, the iconic porthole design, the same eye protection screen of the mainstream flagship, and the new Sony sensor make it leap in quality from the inside to the outside, and live up to expectations from top to bottom. The iQOO Z9 is powered by Qualcomm's third-generation Snapdragon 7 mobile platform and is equipped with a number of Turbo flagship configurations. The iQOO Z9x can be summed up in one sentence, that is, "there are surprises in performance, and there is no pressure on power".
At the press conference, Luo Feng, vice president of iQOO products, said: "iQOO has always insisted on performance first and gaming experience first!
Battery life determines the basic experience of mobile phones, and iQOO has been committed to the technological innovation of battery and flash charging. This time, the iQOO Z9 is equipped with a large 6000mAh battery. iQOO Z9 Turbo and iQOO Z9 use blue ocean battery technology, which breaks through the bottleneck of battery technology through three technologies: carbon element recombination, pole piece remodeling, and laser etching. At the same time, iQOO's self-developed battery packaging technology has successfully slimmed down the inside of the phone, and a larger battery can be installed in the same volume. iQOO Z9 Turbo and iQOO Z9 support 80W flash charging and 7.5W wired reverse charging. More scientific system optimization design, such as system lightweight and heterogeneous computing space, enables mobile phones to achieve lower consumption and higher energy efficiency.
The iQOO Z9 Turbo is powered by the 3rd Gen Snapdragon 8s, which uses the same CPU architecture as the 3rd Gen Snapdragon 8 flagship platform, and is co-tuned by iQOO and Qualcomm for 289 days to deliver top performance and better power consumption. For the first time, the Turbo graphics chip further enhances the high-frame gaming experience and enhances the performance of the iQOO Z9 Turbo in gaming and other performances. The game super-frame function supported by the independent graphics chip Turbo can break through the native frame rate limit and make the visual experience smoother, the video super-frame, dual-channel super-frame technology "super doubles the smoothness", and the original picture mode, in addition to the smoothness, further optimizes the color performance. In the performance tests of a variety of games on site, the iQOO Z9 Turbo has full image quality, more stable frame rate, and smoother experience, which can be called "the most stable 8s in the same class".
The reason why such good results can be achieved, according to Xing Cheng, product manager of iQOO, the secret lies in "fighting heat dissipation and tuning". The iQOO Z9 Turbo is equipped with a 6K canopy VC liquid cooling panel and a 6043mm² vapor chamber with the largest area in the history of iQOO, which effectively ensures the heat dissipation effect of the mobile phone during high-load operation, allowing gamers to enjoy the stable performance of the mobile phone even during long gaming sessions. The self-developed frame rate perception technology deeply adjusts the performance of the platform through real-time, frame-by-frame AI intelligent prediction and scheduling, making the game screen smoother and the skill release clearer and smoother.
iQOO Z9 Turbo also has three "Z series firsts" breakthroughs, in addition to the first time equipped with an independent graphics chip Turbo, it also adapts to "Honor of Kings" for the first time 120FPS + extreme image quality, and has passed the KPL competition machine test certification;
The large battery capacity does not mean that the feel must be sacrificed, the thickness of the whole iQOO Z9 series is kept within 8mm, and the weight is under 200g. Among them, Blue Ocean battery technology makes the battery thinner and lighter through innovative upgrades in battery materials and processes. The new architecture of the core boat allows the iQOO Z9 Turbo and iQOO Z9 to break the routine and no longer back down in terms of feel and texture. The 6000mAh battery is only 7.98mm thick, which is close to most mobile phones with a 5000mAh battery. The weight is kept below 195g, and it challenges to be the thinnest and lightest 6000mAh phone in the industry.
In terms of ID, both the iQOO Z9 Turbo and the iQOO Z9 use the same design language as the flagship. The iconic metal porthole design creates a square and circular balance. The star track scale texture on luxury watches conveys a restrained sense of luxury. The flagship's contoured quad-curved back cover maintains a consistent and comfortable grip regardless of landscape or vertical. Straight-edged middle frame, because it is ultra-thin and more neat. On the front, the design of the screen stand has been removed, and the delicate ultra-narrow black edge has been replaced, which feels light and delicate.
iQOO Z9 Turbo and iQOO Z9 use the 144Hz ultra-high refresh rate Huaxing C8 flagship screen, and have passed the SGS low blue light and low flicker dual certification. The local peak brightness is as high as 4500nit, which can adapt to a variety of environments, and the contrast of local light and dark details is more realistic and shocking. The ultra-high refresh rate of 144Hz and 1.5K resolution provide smoother visuals and faster response times, allowing users to enjoy the ultimate audio-visual and gaming experience.
Not only that, iQOO also brings the most eye-friendly dimming "family bucket". By default, when the screen brightness is lower than 24nit, 3840Hz PWM dimming will be turned on to reduce eye fatigue, vision loss and other negative effects, and improve the color performance and contrast of the screen; 45 to 90nit is 2160Hz PWM dimming, which maintains a comfortable experience at low brightness and ensures color accuracy at high brightness; and when it is greater than 90nit, it is DC-like dimming mode, which is more stable and more eye-friendly. Three dimming modes can minimize flicker during the user's use and achieve eye protection throughout the process. There is also flagship-level ambient color temperature adaptation, and the color temperature of the screen is intelligently and dynamically matched according to the cold and warm light environment, knowing the cold and warm, and making it more intimate.
And when it comes to eye protection, the iQOO Z9x is also good enough. As the only product in the Z9 series with an LCD screen, the iQOO Z9x has a maximum of 120Hz seven-speed variable speed high brush, and the maximum brightness of the full screen can reach 1000nit, bringing more powerful display performance and more screen eye protection options.
iQOO Z9 Turbo adopts the new Sony LYT-600 main camera, with 50 million pixels equipped with leading focusing technology, and OIS optical image stabilization technology. Equipped with the same main camera, the iQOO Z9 supports flagship imaging algorithms such as motion panning and 2X portraits. The iQOO Z9 Turbo is equipped with a variety of flagship image algorithms to capture the texture and color of the world, and the cool fun fisheye camera retains the splendor brought by the streamer and tastes the deep night scene at night.
The iQOO Z9 series supports IP64 dustproof, waterproof, wet hand touch function, and 48-month anti-aging function, so that the phone will be used as good as new for a long time. At the same time, the iQOO Z9 series will also be equipped with OriginOS 4.0. Familiar OS 4, a new experience, and more AI highlights. The continuously growing AI blue heart model has five super functions and can achieve more than 700 kinds of mobile phone-related functions. Through the AI "exclusive personal assistant" Blue Heart V, it provides more than 20 million users with AI services such as super Q&A, super creation, super search, super management, and super interaction. One-sentence video editing, AI note creation, small V help and other functions are convenient and fast, leading the industry trend. In the future, OriginOS 4 will continue to improve in terms of performance and detailed experience, bringing users a smoother and more efficient experience.
