Update – Aug 8th:-
Bought Xiaomi 12 Pro today which will be replacing my iQOO 9 Pro.. Got the 12 Pro for 50K!! after discounts.. As I compare the 12 Pro is slightly better than 9 Pro due to top notch hardware & QC in hardware.. Also MiUI clearly shows it’s superiority straight away!.. My last post here n good luck to all the iQOO 9 Pro buyers.. As my last rating I still retain 4/5 for 9 Pro & there are certain features I’m going to miss for sure like say the superior selfie cam & worlds best fingerorint sensor for example.. But every phone has its advantage & disadvantage that way.. Bye..
Update – Aug 4th:-
The phone continues to be same as my March review. I get prompt monthly security update.. The phone is running July 2022 Android security update from past 15 days for example.. YouTube (my most used app) keeps crashing atleast 2 time everyday!.. the UI still lacks the polish/ aesthetics/ user friendliness of more refined Android UIs of the primary competition.. Funtouch OS has just not improved at all over months.. The cameras remain solid if not overly impressive.. The telephoto cam for example uses digital zooming until 10X!!.. Only after 10X Zoom the optical zoom takes effect n does well.. The selfie cam is still restricted to just 1080p 30fps video at max.. The main rear cam (Samsung GN5) & Ultrawide cam (Samsung JN1) are very good as always.. The speaker quality is impressive for everything other than YouTube app where the loudness is worst!.. The volume n sound quality is impressive otherwise in Spotify/ YouTube Music.. The haptics are decent but I believe it’s behind the competition.. also Funtouch is worst in haptics implementation in the UI.. The screen quality is generally very good but the pre applied screen protector gets oily n dirty very easily.. The low brightness dark room view easily shows the screen bleeding in the lower half of the whole screen and since its a hardware issue, nothing much can be done.. The phone just overheats randomly during normal operation.. battery backup has been above average (I always use the phone in 1440p & 120hz combo only).. Antutu score could barely breach 8 lacs rarely.. mostly it is at around 7.5 lacs which is a big disappointment as that’s not the score you expect out of a 8Gen1!.. It’s more of a Snapdragon 870 level of performance.. Overall to say this phone is amongst the best options in the 50K to 70K range but the Xiaomi 12 Pro is possibly a slightly better phone overall due to better software experience.. Yet these phones are far better value than the overpriced Samsung S22 series.. I still retain 4/5 overall score for this phone..
Update – March 29th:-
Got 2 software updates. One came with March security update & the other said it is to resolve overheating issue on the phone. What it did was restrict the full performance of the phone to a mid ranger level!!.. Now the Antutu score can’t even touch 7 lacs overall score and CPU is good for 1.63K!!.. Geekbench figures are like 900+ & 3100+!!.. The phone is able to perform any stress test app completely now!.. The maximum temperature is under control during stress test now (under 45 degrees).. All these benchmark performance apart, the phone is feeling sluggish n working very average in terms of speed & smoothness and this is always in 120hz mode!!.. The phone is overheating unwantedly now in regular use now!.. No difference in battery performance.. iQOO is really really poor in software optimization & experience and it shows!!.. They have just made a great performing phone a sluggish one that’s it!!.. Adding on is fingerprint sensor becoming slow over time & even accuracy is reduced!!.. Still retaining 4 stars with a hope that they will do something to resolve all of these issues with an update soon..
Update – March 18th:-
Very happy with the phone performance overall.. Yes my phone does have screen bleeding issue under pitch dark conditions (brightness 20% n above).. Yes dual speaker loudness is Average n most of the times I have to keep the volume at near it’s max in YouTube.. But other than these, I’m really happy with the super fast Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor’s performance.. Very good screen quality under normal usage.. Got used to FunTouch OS and now I’m starting to like the iQOO UI’s feature rich n neatness.. have removed the unwanted apps easily using the adb function using my laptop.. The camera’s front n back are top notch.. the lens’ notify us to clean literally every time we shoot & therefore ensuring great pics.. very good battery life that enables a full day use easily.. the haptic motor seems decent now after setting it at the strongest level.. fingerprint sensor’s combination of accuracy + security is the best on any smartphone in the world today!.. Overall the phone convinced me to sell my Samsung Note 20 Ultra and make the iQOO 9 Pro my primary phone now.. wish I could give a 4.5/ 5 at this point but don’t want to give it a 5 due to aforementioned issues.. so will retain the score at 4 still..
Update – March 8th:-
I got the screen tint issue fixed by doing a factory reset. I found that it’s a setting in developer options that needed to be turned off for the issue to be resolved. However still the screen lacks color calibration of a Samsung/ Apple panels still and inspite of being an E5 Amoled panel, still looks like a blue tinged 20K budget Realme Amoled screen!.. The default color settings and options don’t help in this matter unfortunately.. The lower half of the phone screen has slight screen bleeding issue to add on!!..
The phones speaker loudness is strictly average shockingly!!.. GSMArena review of iQOO 9 Pro had Very Good rating for speaker loudness but Indian model has very average speaker loudness for media playback!.. surprisingly loudness isn’t an issue for speaker calls where it is fine.. i have downloaded a Volume Booster 3rd party app to improve speaker loudness, so that is a workaround and what that also proves is the phone has the hardware to be loud but the stupid software isn’t allowing it be fully capable!.. The haptic feedback of the phone is very average and is of my parents’ Realme X7 Max/ Master Edition level!!.. The haptic feedback of our Samsung Note 20 Ultra & iPhone 12 are multiple times superior n it’s nowhere close!..
The phone has a brilliant camera that goes toe to toe with the likes of top Samsung’s & Apples.. Very happy with the cameras overall and that includes brilliant selfie snaps too.. The camera software is also very nice n better than other Android UIs..
UI n Software overall is lacking the features & finess of OneUI/ ColorOS/ MiUI.. hope that gets improved over time.. Google Chrome isn’t even working on my phone at all!!.. some app crashes noticed already..
Great network coverage/ reception & call quality so far..
Snapdragon 8Gen1 is a monster n I got a mind-boggling score of 9.75 lacs overall score in Antutu with the CPU consistently scoring over 2 lacs no matter what.. Geekbench scores very also very good at over 1100 single core n 3500+ multi core.. The processor & phone do overheat unbearably while pushed to limits.. for example the phone could not run an Antutu stress test beyond 15 mins as the temperature crosses 45 degrees with ease.. but I’m hoping iQOO push some improvements in the future (I have seen Samsung improve their highly criticised Exynos 990 processor performance by leaps n bounds over time).. Overall very happy with having the best Android processor around..
Phone has brilliant looks but the supplied back cover is very slippery n lacks grip or comfort.. so have to buy a good one..
Fingerprint sensor is just awesome with its technology n the way it works in real life.. face unlock is unsafely fast n can recognise faces when you don’t want it to also!!..
Battery life is very good and setting the phone to dark mode always as a hack for Amoled phones really helps.. Also twerking the battery settings n usage pattern/ background performance of apps goes a long way to improve battery life on present day phones and that helps here too.. very satisfied with battery life overall while standby times don’t seem great but that’s a minor gripe.. Supplied fast charger is a monster and one of the highlights of the phone! It’s an absolute treat to charge the phone so quickly.. but the phone does get warm with charge but nothing alarming or worrying anyways..
Overall improving the rating due to its overall performance..
March 6th:-
Got my phone from Amazon on 6th March & I already own a Samsung Note 20 Ultra. I saw a major difference between both screens in display!.. When I do some R&D I found out the iQOO 9 Pro display has Green & Magenta tint issue!!.. Also the Screen Test Pro app showed that the phone Screen Leak issue!!..
I have requested for a return of this phone. Guys please be aware of this issue which is a Quality Consistency issue from iQOO!.. I find that even earlier iQOO phones like 7 & 7 Legend had these issues very commonly!!.. So don’t be fooled by all the On Paper Specs & the expert reviews ok YouTube!!..
FYI my wife owns an iPhone 12 & I own Samsung Note 20 Ultra and both phones have a top notch display that showed the chalk n cheese between them and iQOO!!..
Ankur Verma –
This review would be big, so please have a patience.
I came after op5t. It is a monster phone wrt to build quality and everything. Some of the things which I like to have in a phone is:
1. Core android experience as far as possible.
2. Don’t give the feature, its ok, but if giving the feature please test all the edge cases.
3. Give user the ability to sideload the custom rom, (ok you can void the warranty, if its in warranty) or give the option like op where you can unlock the bootloader then sideload and in case you have an issue, please lock the bootloader and have original recovery with original os then go to service center.
4. Please test the core functionalities 3x number of times then the functionalities which might be used once in a while, for example: My default launcher sometimes goes blank and i have no other option then to restart.
Now coming to this phone, I waited a long long time to buy the phone you can easily understand my last phone IS (not was, is) op5t which is still running with Android 11 (custom rom, sideloaded it by unlocking the bootloader), and its kind a good(not the awesome, but ok) now.
1. I bought iqoo9 pro phone and spent 70k on it, my first expectation will be experience should be seamless, but you can feel many a time that the flow is missing or the seamlessness is missing.
2. for example: many times my PIP (Picture in Picture) does not show shortcuts to play pause close it.
3. I really don’t like the launcher, its so basic literally why, if you can’t put an effort just ask the user which launcher to use nova, lawnchair or something, in that way the swipe gesture to last app will work, FYI, swipe gesture to last app only works with default launchers and not with 3rd party installed launcher, please google it you will understand what I am saying
4. There are no Android 12 widgets, like the clock the weather widget or the contact one, I mean why, 70k phone is there man, please provide
5. Vivo is not allowing the user to do the sideload of custom rom, (facepalm) why, you are worrying about user having the bricked handset, let him do whatever he wants to with the phone you just void the warranty and mention in policy we will not take the custom rom sideloaded phone or unlocked bootloader phone, simple.
6. The live wallpaper provided with the default installation does not works in the Default Launcher, although works in Lock screen, but not in home screen, (facepalm), come on man so basic stuff to test.
7. You can’t change the icon shapes in the notification drawer, its squarish and be with it, like Vivo doesn’t care if you like to have circle icons, (facepalm) moment again.
8. Bloatwares, so many of them, God why I need browser when you are giving chrome with the default installation, so you think user will use your browser on top of chrome (really). All the power users either use chrome or install any other available browsers and not use yours, that is for sure.
Now coming to the pros:
1. Camera is good no doubt in that, it takes some really good shots, and I appreciate that, but but but, the border detection program needs A LOT (A LOT) improvement.
2. Touch response is good, and I love it.
3. Charging is the MVP, man literally 20 25 mins full charge and I hardly worry about the battery anymore.
4. The style statement, no doubt its good, although I feel designer should have utilised the camera modules remaining part much efficiently, but thats ok.
5. The display, oof awesome, just awesome.
6. The curved screen is good in hand feel.
7. And no doubt its a good phone, but for a phone of 70k i feel my asks were not that of a big deal.
Edit#1: Returned the phone back on 4th April and waiting for refund, hope it will happen soon, but really felt bad in returning coz I took this phone after a long long wait, and did not go well, will update once the refund start.
Edit#2: Got the refund in the CC statement this month, although, I took one lesson, never return that is in EMI and that too in CC, it was a headache, chasing for so long, to get the refund, also, picked on 4th and the update came by 21 that the phone reached their centre after that it took 5 working days, leaving sat and sun, then ICICI took 2 days time to reflect,
