In the face of Redmi Turbo3 and iQOO Z9 Turbo, two high-performance rookies that are both sold from 1999 yuan, it is not easy to make a choice. Each of them carries a unique selling point and appeals to different user groups. Below, we'll provide a detailed guide to your options in terms of performance, gaming experience, battery life, portability, display and camera capabilities, and price details.
1 Performance and Gaming Experience
Both phones are powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen3 processor, which ensures a smooth daily use and gaming experience.
In the actual game test, both can maintain a high frame rate to run Genshin Impact, and the iQOO Z9 Turbo has a slight advantage in frame rate stability, reaching a full frame of 60 fps, and supports game frame interpolation to 90 fps. The Redmi Turbo3 improves the image quality with its super resolution technology. Therefore, if you are more interested in extreme frame rates, iQOO may be more suitable, and if you prefer a high-quality experience, Redmi may be more satisfying.
2 Endurance
In terms of battery life, the iQOO Z9 Turbo achieved the best results in our 5-hour heavy autonomy test with a large 6000mAh battery, with a whopping 72% remaining power. Although the charging speed is slightly slower than the Redmi Turbo3's 90W fast charge (91% in 30 minutes), its long-lasting battery life is extremely attractive for users who are on the go frequently. The Redmi Turbo3's 5000mAh battery is paired with high-power fast charging, which is suitable for users who need to recover blood quickly.
3 Portability & Design
The iQOO Z9 Turbo has a larger battery while keeping its weight well-managed, with a weight of 195g and a thickness of 7.98mm, which is considered thin and light for a device with a large battery in its class. The Redmi Turbo3 is much lighter, with a weight of 179g and a thickness of 7.8mm, plus a smaller body size, which brings a better grip. If you have high requirements for the lightness of your phone, Redmi Turbo3 will be the best choice.
4 Display & Camera
The iQOO Z9 Turbo's screen offers a 144Hz refresh rate, 4500nit peak brightness, and 3840Hz PWM dimming, making it a good choice for users with high requirements for a visual experience. Redmi Turbo3 has unique features in terms of color depth and wet hand touch, supporting 12bit color depth, which is suitable for users who have higher expectations for screen color. In terms of imaging, the rear camera configuration of the two is similar, but the Redmi Turbo3 offers a higher 20 million pixels and more professional video recording capabilities on the front camera, which is suitable for selfie enthusiasts.
5 Pricing & Storage Options
Although the price of the basic version is the same, the iQOO Z9 Turbo is 16GB + 512GB and other high-end versions more expensive than the Redmi Turbo3 by 100 yuan, but in exchange for more storage space. Redmi, on the other hand, offers a 1TB version, which is a highlight for users with great storage needs.
6 Summary
The Redmi Turbo3 and iQOO Z9 Turbo have their own merits, and the key to choosing is your specific needs. If you value battery life and large storage space, and don't mind a slightly heavier body, the iQOO Z9 Turbo is the ideal choice. If you prefer a lightweight feel, faster charging, and excellent performance of the front camera, the Redmi Turbo3 will be a better companion. No matter which one they are, they all provide value-for-money performance and experience in the 1999 yuan price range, and the final decision needs to be decided according to personal preference.
