IQOO Z9

Forged from aerospace-grade aluminium and frosted AG glass, the iQOO Z9 measures just 7.98 mm and weighs 194 g, yet carries an IP64 rating for everyday resilience. Subtle 58° curved sides merge seamlessly with a 2.5 D front, while a star-ring camera bezel sits flush to create a palm-hugging silhouette that feels both lighter and stronger than its class suggests.
Inside, a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 built on a 4 nm node drives sustained performance, supported by UFS 3.1 storage and up to 12 GB of extendable RAM. A 6 043 mm² vapor-chamber and multi-layer graphite keep thermals in check, allowing graphically intensive titles to run at near-peak frame rates without throttling, while an AI engine anticipates load spikes 200 ms ahead for smoother gameplay.
Visuals arrive through a 6.78-inch 1.5 K AMOLED that refreshes at 144 Hz and touches at 1 000 Hz, delivering HDR10 brilliance up to 4 500 nits. 3 840 Hz PWM dimming and ΔE≈0.8 color fidelity ensure comfortable, accurate viewing day or night, whether you are editing photos or streaming cinema-grade video.
A 50 MP Sony IMX882 sensor with OIS captures crisp 4 K footage and night scenes free of motion blur, while cinematic bokeh renders light as creamy orbs. Stereo speakers tuned by Dirac and an X-axis linear motor provide immersive audio-tactile feedback, and a 6 000 mAh silicon-carbon cell recharges rapidly to keep the experience uninterrupted.
