iQOO Z9 Turbo was released on April 25, and the core selling point is the leapfrog Huaxing C8 eye protection straight screen, 6000mAh single cell + 80W fast charging, and the weight is pressed at 194.9g, and the price starts at 1999 yuan.
谁能想到，iQOO Z9 Turbo、Redmi Turbo 3、真我GT Neo6 SE、一加Ace 3V，这4台骁龙8s Gen 3/骁龙7+ Gen 3机型里，有3台都是1999元起……
iQOO Z9 Turbo的12+256版1999元，16+256版2299元，12+512版2399元，16+512版2599元。

Magic change A port, up to 80W, 11V 7.3A high-current scheme. There are only private agreements, which are not very environmentally friendly.
In addition, I didn't expect iQOO to still insist on the clear water shell, it really, I cried to death.

The iQOO Z series has finally removed the plastic bracket for the screen.
The edge of the screen has a slight 2.5D arc, which is more luxurious. The black edge on the side of the screen is narrowed to 1.54mm, although it is still a little wider than that of its competitors.
Matte plastic middle frame + matte plastic back cover. Our one is a mountain blue color, with pearlescent pink on the back cover, bling bling.
Although it is plastic, it even feels a bit like glass to the touch. Among the four King Kongs of iQOO, Realme, OnePlus, and Redmi, it is second only to Realme GT Neo6 SE in terms of its degree of truthfulness.
Low-level short-throw fingerprint, with IP64, infrared, NFC.
AAC Generation 0809 X-axis motor, normal performance. The touch IC is a relatively rare Synopsys S3905.
AAC 1012D (amplitude slightly stronger than 1012H) + AAC 1116B (slightly weaker than 1115W) dual speakers. The actual volume is normal, and the sound stage is relatively centered. The mid and high frequencies are OK, and the low frequencies are weak.
In terms of peripheral configuration, the biggest disadvantage of iQOO Z9 Turbo is single-frequency GPS + dual-band Beidou (like Turbo 3, realme OnePlus is dual-band GPS).
Objective test: screen & performance & heating & battery life & charging
(For the screen test, the longer the brightness color bar, the better, and the shorter the color shift color bar, the better)
The iQOO Z9 Turbo is a 6.78-inch 144Hz 1.5K Huaxing C8 straight screen, 2800x1260, 452ppi, local peak 4500 nits, 2000Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, 10bit color depth. There are full DC-like or low-brightness 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming options, and wet hand touch is supported.
The independent display chip Turbo is physically a Pixelworks PX8588. Support 23 popular mobile games superframe + B station / iQiyi / Tencent / Youku's video superframe, it is indeed relatively rare at this price.
iQOO Z9 Turbo屏幕亮度表现接近iQOO Neo9 Pro,亮度均匀性稍弱,专业模式的色准原地起飞,比真我GT Neo6 SE还强一点。
But in our hearts,In fact, the biggest selling point of HuaxingC8 is-it's still LTPS,Not LTPO,Not to mention 8T LTPO,Avoid medium and high brightness3Pulse"Screen flash control regression"problem。
In addition, the iQOO Z9 Turbo is also the first phone to offer 3 dimming modes at the same time, although the special dimming method is still put in developer mode.
iQOO Z9 Turbo出厂默认是低亮度2160Hz PWM+高亮度类DC调光（90尼特切换模式）↑
Low-brightness 3840Hz ultra-high frequency PWM dimming (at the cost of color casts, flickering, dragging, and higher power consumption)↑
Full-brightness DC dimming (sacrificing the HDR effect in the album and affecting the uniformity of the screen)↑
If the realme GT Neo6 SE is a screen that leapfrogs color accuracy, brightness, and power saving, then iQOO Z9 Turbo is a screen that leapfrogs color accuracy + eye protection.
After all, this is the first time that the Huaxing C8 screen has appeared in the 2000 yuan price segment,Previously, it was mainly the flagship and sub-flagship of the Xiaomi system such as the Xiaomi 14 full series、Redmi K70/K70 Pro。

iQOO Z9 Turbo是骁龙8s Gen 3，6043mm² VC均热板（iQOO史上最大），LPDDR5x+UFS 4.0闪存。
The actual CPU peak is not as open as the Redmi Turbo 3, which is also a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, but the GPU is more aggressive. And the continuous output of CPU multi-core, which is also more conservative than Redmi.
In the whitelist of GeekBench 5.4.6, iQOO Z9 Turbo can run 4824 points, in the modified version of GeekBench 5.4.6 (to avoid the whitelist), the CPU multi-core performance drops back to 4038 points, that is, the long-term output will be limited to the Snapdragon 8+ level (single-core is no difference).
The good news is that the iQOO Z9 Turbo maintains OriginOS's tradition of active daily scheduling. Even in balanced mode, the iQOO Z9 Turbo dares to turn on 8 cores when overloaded and when applications are turned on (when some applications are switched). The other Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 models generally limit the X4 ultra-large core to 2.8GHz. And even so, the battery life test below is still easy to slaughter, 6000mAh is the murderer......
However, in power-saving mode, the peak is set at 2.3GHz super-large core + 1.9GHz large core + 2GHz small core. The frequency is too low, and the background cleaning is more aggressive at this time. Directly led to the collapse of our dream of "permanent power-saving mode" to do the ultimate battery life, and I hope that OTA can be engaged in it in the later stage.
(Room temperature 25.6 degrees, 200 nits screen brightness)
（3DMark Solar Bay测试稳定度83.2%、Wild Life Extreme Ulimited测试稳定度80.3%，Wild Life Ulimited测试稳定度84.4%）。
iQOO Z9 Turbo 3DMark烤机最高51.1度,温控线其实还不够一加Ace 3V和Redmi Turbo 3刚猛,稳定性成绩看着也比Redmi弱一点。
However, if you look at the actual performance output, you will find that the temperature of the iQOO Z9 Turbo will be 2 degrees lower than that of the orange competitor when the stability is close, or the performance output will be stronger (the lower the test pressure, the more obvious the difference).
Looking at thermal imaging, the "soaking heat" effect of this vapor chamber is very obvious, far surpassing its competitors at the same level, and it also beats 95% of flagships (except for game phones).
In addition to the ultra-high pressure solar bay test, the other two slightly lower pressure tests, the temperature of the front and back of the whole phone is close, and the temperature of the central battery area and the SoC area on the back is almost the same.
The heat dissipation performance of the iQOO Z9 Turbo VC vapor chamber is just right ahead. It's no wonder that when spraying vapor chamber technology with each other, Redmi and OnePlus/Realme are respectful to the blue factory......
The room temperature is 26.4 degrees, after 20 minutes of "Peace Elite" HDR HD + extreme frame rate + anti-aliasing, the highest temperature is 38 degrees, which is also lower than the other three friends.
(Endurance test: The test environment is 26.4 degrees Celsius, 200 nits screen brightness, and the test battery range is 30% to 80%. Including 30 minutes of "Peace Elite" HDR HD + extreme frame rate + anti-aliasing, 30 minutes of 1080P video playback of station B, 30 minutes of Weibo short video, 30 minutes of Wi-Fi and 5G surfing each, a total of 2.5 hours).
Although the iQOO Z9 Turbo has a more active daily CPU scheduling than its competitors, this 6000mAh single battery cell can easily and directly slaughter the list, and it is 5 percentage points away from the realme GT Neo6 SE (realme has a more energy-efficient Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, and the screen itself is more power-efficient).
As we all know, the higher the endurance performance of the model, the higher the gold content per percentile:
In the same batch of Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3/Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 models, the iQOO Z9 Turbo only uses 15% of the battery in 2.5 hours, and the battery life is actually 30% ahead. Again, it's not too much to be far ahead.
PS: Under the same capacity, a single cell is more durable than a double cell, but the charging power is difficult to be high.
Charged at room temperature of 25 degrees, the peak power of the iQOO Z9 Turbo is 65.7W, which lasts less than 1 minute.
The next two gears are 55W and 45W, with the longest lasting 35W and 33W.
There were a few power drops due to heat up (i.e., the raised polyline in the chart).
(Charge test, 1% start.) The longer the color bar in the same row, the faster it is↑. Functions such as vivo ultra-fast charging mode/OPPO smart fast charging/Xiaomi fast charging acceleration and low-power fast charging have been turned on. Some manufacturers/models disable the relevant functions by default and need to be manually enabled)
iQOO Z9 Turbo shows 100% in 46 minutes and decharges in 52 minutes.
The performance is close to that of the vivo S18, which also has 80W fast charging (but the battery is 1000mAh larger), and the performance is between Redmi's 67W fast charging and 90W fast charging, and close to Huawei's 88W fast charging.

But what is special is that the Redmi Turbo 3 is equipped with a better lens, and the iQOO Z9 Turbo replaces the Sony IMX355 ultra-wide angle of the competitor with the domestic Geke Micro GC08A3 (but the physical specifications are the same).
PS: LYT-600 is a 2x2 OCL sensor, and 2x should mainly rely on the "rocker" algorithm.

The iQOO Z9 Turbo is the only model in the Z9 series with OIS stabilization. However, in the current version of the firmware, it seems that it is impossible to observe the movement of the OIS lens group with the naked eye (in general, OIS models can directly see the lens moving in real time to compensate). In fact, the main capture view screen is also as if there is no OIS, or OIS is not enabled, and the judder is more noticeable, especially at 2x "zoom".
However, the yield of the main camera and the shutter speed in the EXIF information are close to those of competitors. I don't know if it's this OIS, the movement range is so small, or the framing effect of the current firmware. Although the main camera yield is fine, the "2x zoom" and ultra-wide angle do have low yields during the day, and the algorithm "pinching" is more obvious.
In terms of effect, the iQOO Z9 Turbo's firmware now has the saturation problem of "color reduction" in the dark part, as well as the tendency of the base to be magenta. The situation of over-sharpening + over-compression ratio of the picture is similar to the X100 Pro with earlier firmware.
The iQOO Z9 Turbo's main camera and ultra-wide-angle night effect are weaker than those of OnePlus and Realme. The performance of the 2x algorithm is between Redmi and the real me. The best performance is that it has a true high-pixel mode output, which is stronger than several other competitors at this time.
Because of the prestige of the blue factory, before the test, we thought that the iQOO Z9 Turbo had won, but it was actually at the midstream level of this batch of new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3/Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 phones.
summary
iQOO is really willing to give,Put the Xiaomi 14 series/K70 series of the same level HuaxingC8 screen in the 1999 yuan price range,And also gave a 6000mAh blue ocean battery for the first time。
And the iQOO Z9 Turbo is indeed what the parameters show: buy Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, Huaxing C8 screen, 6000mAh battery and give the phone away.
iQOO's knife skills have also become proficient. Only some small components of the iQOO Z9 Turbo are sealed, and only the battery interface is protected by foam/gasket. The internal protection is not as good as Realme OnePlus (Realme protection is the most fierce, while the Turbo 3 has no dispensing and gaskets), and it is also the only water shell that is delivered (although it has no impact on use).
In fact, the iQOO Z9 Turbo is a single-frequency GPS, which is slow to charge and takes pictures in general (I thought it would be a friend of the same level according to the usual tulle).
But the battery life and heat dissipation of the iQOO Z9 Turbo are really good, very good kind. And the large battery does not sacrifice weight and heat dissipation (generally the better the heat dissipation, the greater the weight), plus the Huaxing C8 screen The eye protection long plate is also very long.
Stream-saving: Even if it's not perfect, the iQOO Z9 Turbo is indeed the most competitive of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3/Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 models. It is also the only one now, in front of the old Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 model, there is also an irreplaceable advantage (battery life and eye protection) Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 model.
