iQOO 9 Pro 5G (Legend, 12GB RAM, 256GB Storage) | Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Mobile Processor | 120W FlashCharge

I wanted to switch to better display from my current Samsung Galaxy A52 due to eye strain and irritation. Hence was looking for display offering 3200 X 1440 resolution display. Saw this phone which offers QHD+ LTPO display and with top notch hardware specs. However was hesitant to pay such a price for the brand which not popular. But as I got good exchange price and some discount, dared to buy this one. After usage for few days, jotting down my observations belowScreen Resolution:Initial setup itself revealed by my urge of switching to a better display is addressed. The phone presents gorgeous screen which is preventing any eye strain for me. There are 3 color options and I use standard one which is more bright compared to professional mode (which may suit some of the people). Dynamic refresh adjusts automatically as per need.Audio:Phone speaker are very good and sounds quite loud. Sound is also well balanced highlighting low and mid more to my liking. Phone offers various customization options to further adjust the audio. Not new compared to Galaxy S series. I however found audio output bit low through bluetooth and wired earphones (I am using Huawei True wireless and Boat wired) earbuds. May be over the year headphones will be loud enough.Camera:I typically clicks only 10-12 photos a year and hence this really doesn't matter much to me. However the photos looked great to me but as I am not photography enthusiast, cannot really comment.Battery:Easily lasts for more than a day. Additionally when you have 120 W flash charge, there is not worry about battery. It charges in less than 20 Minutes as we generally do not wait till full battery drainOthers:1) Phone has fantastic eye-catching design and should work well with most.2) Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is simply amazing.3) It seems that the phone has IR blaster as the Smart Remote App (pre-installed) perfectly works with almost all my home appliances.4) I do not see any issues with Funtouch OS also. It provides required functions easily.Negatives:Not much really but I mentioned about low audio on earbuds. Further for such premium phone, IQOO should remove some of unnecessary the pre-installed apps.Overall a nice purchase. Satisfied after few days of usage.

The media could not be loaded. Phone heats for sure with too much use and also while charging it heats, but with cover its bearable when you using the phone without charger.Battery drain but for a heavy user like my its giving me battery time upto 5 and half.Trust me i am mostly on my phone, and i have turned on most of things like NFC, different animations, hypatics are on, i play games then brightness is on full, so many other things.Intially i got jitters but after update, I restarted phone so far it's going smooth.Now likes.Charger is superb as of now i have charged it from 24%, it charged super super quick to 100%I really liked the in hand feel, bit heavy and big in screen size, i really liked it.Camera seems good to me in night and day, still gonna use more, but it's good.Takes natural photos you just have switch off AI for that, with AI mode on i liked it.Face lock and security with finger print is really working great, with finger it took time for me as i press at the bottom of the screen because of my habit with previous phone.Screen is really bright and crisp.Update is for Feb only, anroid 12 so many other small things to enjoy.Need proper software updated to fix bugs in customization. Please Iqoo push proper updates.Going good so far, got it on heavy discount so i really liked it so far.

I'm writing a review for the first time for any of my owned smart phones till date. I pre-ordered IQOO 9 Pro on the launch date it-self i.e. 23rd February and got it on 11th March (a long long wait). I would like to point out few positives and negatives about this phone which I've observed till now:Positives:1. Screen of the phone is amazing, the minimum and maximum brightness is class leading. It is easily legible in direct sun light and low minimum brightness doesn't strain the eyes in dark room. You won't find a better display (2k resolution, dynamic 1-120hz refresh rate, 1500 nits peak brightness) phone in this price segment.2. The fingerprint reader of the phone has biggest reading surface area in any phone including all US and Chinese brands. The unlock speed is on-par with latest S22 series. It is a ultrasonic fingerprint reader not the optical one like all other android phone (excluding Samsung top dogs). It works with wet fingers without any issues. If you finger is very dry then it takes more time to unlock the phone.3. On the camera front, the main (50MP Samsung (S5K)GN5 1/1.57") and ultrawide (50MP Samsung (S5K)JN1 1/2.76") camera sensors are class leading. 2.5x optical and front camera usage same (16MP Samsung S5K3P9 1/3.1") censor which is above average but not class leading. Photos from main and ultrawide are excellent. Contrast, dynamic range, saturation and noise levels of main and ultrawide cameras are flagship grade.4. IQOO 9 Pro does have an IR blaster, that means you can control your TV, Set-top box and AC using the phone. This feature might not sound very compelling at first but it is very handy specially if you are having faulty remotes with some non-working buttons.5. Call quality and signal reception is very good. The earpiece sound output is very loud and rich.6. It has stereo speakers and sound output it very good and loudness is also great. One issue I would like to point out is that, the volume is YouTude application is very low as compared to other apps. If you play YouTube videos on chrome browser then the sound output is loud. This is a software bug specific to YouTube app only and should get resolved in future updates.7. Build quality and in-hand feel is very premium. The glass sandwich design with curved display looks top class.8. Charging speed is just insane, plugin the phone and goto shower and by the time you come, it's already 100%.-Negatives:1. No official IP rating for a phone costing this much.2. I couldn't digest why IQOO didn't use USB Type C standard 3.1 or higher so that we can get wired display output from the phone. The IQOO 9 Pro has USB Type C 2.0 standard with does not support wired display output.3. Telephoto and Front camera hardware could have been better.4. No bootloader unlock supported that means no rooting and no custom rom.As the endnote, this phone has some cutting edge hardware which you won't find in any smartphone. I'm impressed with this phone and would buy it again if given the chance.
