iQOO 9 Pro Unboxing and Initial Review: The Supercharged Smartphone! |
This is technique and this is the IQOO 9 pro the IQOO 9 Pro comes in two different color variants you can pick it up in a burnt engine orange which is carbon fiber, vegan leather, or the version that I have yet known as the Legendary Edition, which is a frosted glass carbon fiber finish and it looks fantastic. It does come with a case in the box. That pretty much makes it look as if it's not even using a case since it resembles the actual design of the device itself.
But I'm not too sure about that camera visor at the back being so widespread, not necessarily needing it we have a 4700 milliamp hour battery under the hood as well as 120 Watt wide charging a 50 watt wireless charging a Snapdragon eight gen one chipsets and a new three dimensional 18 fold vapor chamber cooling system it is skinned with Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and aluminum frame wraps around and of course you have gloss or vegan leather at the back within that unnecessarily massive camera module at the back we all kit said with a 150 degree field of view 50 megapixel Samsung ISOCELL J and one ultra wide sensor as well as a 50 megapixel Samsung ISOCELL G and five sensor the first in the world to do so and completing the trio is a 16 megapixel telephoto cam and when comparing it to the Xiaomi 12 Pro on its left hand side and the realme GT Pro on its right to the IQOO 9 Pro does have the fisheye effect thanks to that 150 degree ultra wide sensor which matches the real me GT two Pro which was actually the world's first but where the iKOU one apps the real meat over here is that it can actually shoot its 150 degree field of view mode using 50 megapixel native whereas the realme GT two Pro can only burn it down to 12.5.
And of course once the IQOO 9 Pro does burn it down it naturally looks slightly brighter thanks to AI the IQOO 9 Pro can also shoot native 50 megapixel shots using the ultra wide cam at a slightly lower Field of View at 119 degrees and of course it can also been down to 12.5 megapixels for a neater looking shot but the 50 megapixel ISOCELL the Gen five sensor is where this device truly shines as you can see with the native 50 megapixel shot over here as opposed to the Xiaomi 12 Pro and real meat GT two pros lesser lenses and when burning down the shots once again things start to look a bit crispier especially when indoors that GN five sensor can also zoom in two times to get digital zoom over here just before the telephoto cam kicks in a 2.5 times but at two times the Xiaomi 12 Pro uses optical zoom thanks to its 50 megapixel telephoto lens it is currently been down to 12.5 megapixel showing quite a bit more detail than that of the IQOO and the real me but as soon as we hit 2.5 times zoom we're using optical on the IQOO 8 Pro here thanks to its 16 megapixel telephoto cam, which renders slightly more detail than the other two popping on over to five times digital zoom on all three devices.
The two on the left use the telephoto lens to digitally zoom while the real me lacks a telephoto lens and is only using its main camera and you can see the results over here with the IQOO truly shining quite a bit ahead of the Xiaomi and way above the real me and when it comes to 10 times digital zoom over here the iKOU seriously outshines the other two once more over here thanks to really absorbing all the lights around it and keeping all the details looking nice and natural do bear in mind that the max zoom of the IQOO 9 Pro is 30 times which is 10 times higher than the real me and Xiaomi device which is something that we're going to be testing out in the full review and when taking a shot to get a bit of depth perception over here you can see that the edge detection isn't nearly perfect on the IQOO 9 pro but I can't complain about the other two either. We can also form ultra-wide video on all devices you had 4k Though the real me is capped at 30 FPS while the IQOO 9 Pro can do 60 FPS the IQOO 9 Pro can also shoot at 150 degrees field of view ultra-wide where the real me lacks video for it and we can use 4k 60 FPS with the main sensor thanks to gimbal-stabilized optical image stabilization using that five-axis gimbal lens on the main cam. The cameras are incredible. I can't wait to deep dive into them in the full review.
So I guess the selfie camera is the only thing that's a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to this device. But once again, I'm going to test the site in thorough detail in the full review and pull down the device and power it on for the first time over here. The first thing that we're going to be checking out is the Qualcomm 3d Sonic Max ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which debuted with the IQOO 8 Pro and it is massive. It takes one jab to register your fingerprints and you can choose a bunch of different features to go along with it. It is nine times bigger than the ultrasonic sensor found within the Samsung Galaxy is 21 Ultra and it has a whopping size of 20 by 30 millimeters and takes just point two seconds to register your finger and yes, you can pretty much put it anywhere within that massive box. Now if you are wondering if there are different animation effects, with the new origin one ocean, they've added in a couple new ones, but they are about a wallpaper that you choose. They look pretty neat, but I kind of like the big square box that showcases that wonderful huge fingerprint sensor.
We also have 2d Face Unlock here, not 3d Face Unlock it uses the selfie cam and hopping into Settings jumping into the new origin OAS ocean. It looks pretty good. It looks pretty similar to origin OAS 1.0, you can now add more columns and rows, which is nice and you can't switch through a parallel world to regular Fantasia Wes, I'm not sure how many of you feel about it. But I actually really, really liked the software has all the bells and whistles such as monster mode to beef it up, as well as separating and adding cubes, loads of different widgets. You can play around with tons and tons and tons of customizations, which of course, I'll be diving into in the full review. It just has so many rights. And there's just so much to customize over here. There's not much not to love. The one thing that you can love is that there is Google. But the one thing that you can't really love is that well Google works and I can actually sign into my account. And yes, you can download the Playstore from the actual built-in Vivo App Store.
It actually doesn't open I've never seen this on an IQOO device. I'm pretty sure it will get fixed with a software update. I'll keep you guys posted on that one. Once again in the full review. Now we do have 12 gigs of RAM and we can extend it by an extra four gigs of RAM though do bear in mind that uses u fs 3.1 storage and let's not forget about that beefed up Snapdragon eight gen one chipset run on four-nanometer process node technology which is supposedly 20% More powerful than its predecessor and 30% more power efficient and one slapping on the Monster mode the IQOO 9 pro got a whopping score of 1,028,322 points which is more than 20,000 points higher than the next in line being the Xiaomi 12 Pro with the same chipsets and way higher than its predecessor of the IQOO 8 Pro and I guess we kind of need all that power because we are running a native 1440 Pwq. HD plus resolution over here with eight pixels per inch or 500 nits in the display itself is 6.78 inches in size.
It is an E five amyloid panel over here it is of course curved. It has 1 billion colors HDR 10 Plus support 112%, DCI p3 and 140% sRGB color gamut rating 1500 nits of peak brightness, and of course, we were also treated to that new LTP Oh 2.0 technology which ranges between one and 120 hertz and slapping it on max refresh rate that being 120 things feel nice and silky smooth the iKOU nine pro checks almost every box out there thanks to it's out of this world display technology incredibly reliable super-fast 3d Sonic Max ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, super-powered Snapdragon eight gen one chipsets massive 4700 milliamp-hour battery with 120 Watt wide and 50 Watt wireless charging, not to mention it packs in one of the best camera systems I have ever used, making me extremely excited to deep dive into all aspects of the device.
