iQOO Z9x 5G (Tornado Green, 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage) | Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 with 560k+ AnTuTu Score | 6000mAh Battery with 7.99mm Slim Design | 44W FlashCharge

Gets the job done
First impressions:1. While it has a LCD display. It appears to be decent with not too prominent of a light bleeding.2. Although it’s 120hz RR, the display usually operates at 90hz for most system apps when set to Smart, which is rather weird but not a deal breaker, and you can always change it to 120hz in settings.3. There are bloatware but you can uninstall most of them.4. Battery backup is definitely its USP. Having a 6000mah battery can do wonders especially in the long run.5. 44w adapter included. Takes around 1.5 hours to fully Charge.6. Camera is nothing to brag about. It’s a decent single shooter. No ultrawide or even a macro cam per say.7. Lastly, performance is definitely on the upper spectrum in the price range. All other phones are offering MTK6100 while it has SD6Gen1 which definitely performs better. And there are some phones which do not even offer 8gb variant.8. Very good stereo speakers for the price range plus would you look at that, a headphone jack.Overall, a very solid phone in the price range.Update: One star deducted – The camera quality is abysmal. There is no optimization done on the camera. Colors are absolutely washed out, image quality is soft and noisy even at daylight.Update after 2+ weeks of usage:1. With light to medium, my mom is able to squeeze 3 days with a single charge which is highly impressive.2. Phone runs smoothly are rather cool even when it charges.3. A capable set of speakers. While they do not sound full and airy, they do get the job done with less distortion.

Great Value for Money phone around 12-13k range for general usage
I recently purchased the iQOO Z9x 5G , and I’ve been using it for a few weeks now. Here’s my take on it:Performance: (4.5/5)The Snapdragon 695 processor is impressive for a mid-range device. Everything from social media to casual gaming runs smoothly, and I haven’t experienced any lag even with multiple apps open. The 6GB of RAM is sufficient for my daily tasks.Display: (5/5)The 6.58-inch display is bright and sharp, making it enjoyable for streaming videos and browsing. The colors are vibrant, and I appreciate the decent viewing angles, although it is slightly reflective in direct sunlight.Camera. (3.5/5)The dual-camera setup performs OK in good lighting conditions. The 50MP primary camera captures sharp image. Low-light performance is just acceptable for casual photography. The 8MP front camera is also very average for selfies.Battery Life: (5/5)The 5000mAh battery is one of the highlights for me. It easily lasts a full day, even with heavy use. It takes less than 1.5hr to charge full form 5%.Software: (4/5)Funtouch OS is user-friendly, but it comes with a few pre-installed useless apps. However, the interface is smooth and offers some customization options.Design: (4/5)The design is sleek and easy to hold. The plastic back feels solid but attract fingerprints. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor appears responsive in 90% attempts and overall convenient.Connectivity: (4.5/5)I appreciate the 5G support—it’s fast and makes a noticeable difference in browsing speeds from my previous 4G phone. Having a 3.5mm headphone jack is a bonus, as I still use wired headphones.Sound Quality: (4/5)Nice and volume boost option is also available though I didn’t like that extra loudness.Overall: (4.5/5)Considering the price ( including festive offer+ card discount), the iQOO Z9x 5G offers great value. It meets my needs for performance, camera quality, and battery life. If you’re looking for an affordable 5G phone with all useful features, I highly recommend it .
