4.1

I got this device for 33k (ICICI discount + exchange), booked it on 3rd March and received by 5th (the 3k bonus exchange didnt work despite the offer listed on product page banner. I can't open the T&C page too. You disappoint me here Amazon! atleast remove the banner so it isn't misleading). Since I'm upgrading from MiA3 (stock android) to IQOO 9 (FunTouch OS), here are my initial impressions. 1. Display ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice and the 120hz is a cherry on top. I could find more visible colors in Netflix content. Good quality display panel. 2. Superfast charging ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐( 5+ for charging): Comes bundled with a 120W charger which is simply AMAZING!, 0-95% in 16 mins. Battery lasts a day on average use, not impressive but doesn't bother me thanks to superfast charging. Perhaps there are ways to optimize it 3. Design/Build ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The phone does look and feel premium. But I do miss my A3 compactness. The phone's dimensions are similar to S22+ a factor convinced me to go ahead. 4. Audio ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It has stereo speakers which is loud enough and less distorted. Good quality sound 5. Performance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is snappy and I find OS closer to stock android experience. It does come with bunch of bloatware's which I've removed and not bothered to sign in. 6. Camera ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rear camera is above average, selfies are good. I'm not a camera-centric person so it didn't bother 7. Heating ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I think this is subjective. Here's my thought, I tried Genshin impact and Runeterra with max settings, after 30+ mins the phone did get warm but there were no frame drops and gameplay was smooth. I believe this is fairly decent. A heating issue/concern in my opinion is for e.g; my previous MiA3 cant bear runeterra, it gets hot (I get fear it will explode) plus lags alot (Mind you MiA3 is not a gaming phone). But then I'm not an avid gamer so it wasn't concerning to me. I'll try BGMI and update in a couple of days For a user who'd like to experience superfast charging, a very nice & bright display, casual gamer can go for it. The phone does get warm when playing longer duration, in my opinion its normal for any phone. FYI, its Android 12 out of the box we'll get 2 yrs of major updates and 3 yrs security updates. I chose IQOO9 from a pool of following phones and happy with my buying decision. Its a Value for money buy. OPPO reno 7 5g, Vivo v23 & 23 pro, Oneplus 9RT, S21 FE, Zenfone 8z.
