The smartphone has the same 5,500mAh battery as the iQOO Z9s. It will come with 80W fast charging support. The iQOO Z9s Pro also gets the same 3D curved display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 4,500 nits peak brightness. Like the iQOO Z9s, this one too has a 50MP Sony IMX882 OIS camera but with an 8MP ultra-wide camera.
Design and Display
The iQOO Z9s Pro 5G features a sleek and stylish design with a 7.49mm thick body and a curved AMOLED display. The display supports a 120Hz refresh rate, providing smooth scrolling and gaming experiences. It also offers vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it ideal for media consumption.
Performance
Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset, the Z9s Pro delivers solid performance across various tasks. It excels in benchmarks, surpassing many competitors in its segment. The phone is equipped with 8GB of RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking and app performance. Gaming is particularly impressive, with the device handling high graphics settings in games like Call of Duty Mobile with ease.
Camera
The camera setup includes a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and various AI enhancements like AI Erase and AI Photo Enhance. The main camera captures detailed and vibrant images, especially in daylight. The ultra-wide lens performs well, though there is some noise in low-light conditions. Portrait mode is a standout feature, offering excellent edge detection and background blur, even in low light.
Battery Life
The iQOO Z9s Pro comes with a 5,000mAh battery, providing respectable battery life. It can last around 15 hours and 40 minutes on a PC Mark battery test, which translates to a full day of usage for most users. The phone also supports fast charging, allowing for quick top-ups when needed.
Software
The device runs on Android 14 with Funtouch OS 14. While it comes with several pre-installed apps, these can be uninstalled if not needed. iQOO promises two years of software updates, which is somewhat limited compared to some competitors that offer three years of major updates.
