Vivo iQOO Z9 Turbo+ Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Vivo IQOO Z9 Turbo+ - for games and more

The Chinese company Vivo knows how to surprise its loyal audience. Thus, the world-famous developer presented one of the most inexpensive smartphones based on a truly top-end chipset. Surprisingly, the phone turned out to be balanced even with a limited cost price.

The appearance of the new product is almost identical to that of the model without the Plus index, which is difficult to consider a minus. Thin display frames with an under-screen fingerprint scanner, a stylish dual camera unit, a back panel stylized as leather leave positive emotions. The colors of the monoblocks have changed, which will appeal to many users. Of course, the use of polycarbonate instead of metal and glass can be criticized, but the material is well chosen, it collects scratches slowly. The 6.78-inch AMOLED screen deserves only compliments. The high resolution for the diagonal of 2800x1260 pixels, impressive 144-Hz refresh rate, brightness of more than 4500 cd/m2 and properly calibrated color rendition allow you to enjoy every minute spent with your mobile assistant.

The technical characteristics include the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ CPU, 12/16 GB of RAM and the Mali-G720 Immortalis MP12 video core, which score significantly more than two million points in the AnTuTu benchmark. Of course, such results also indicate the outstanding gaming capabilities of the gadget. You can try out the huge worlds of Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail with maximum graphic presets and an extremely stable framerate. The energy efficiency of the processor, coupled with a giant 6400 mAh battery, creates an autonomy of 9-10 hours of active screen time. Fast charging with a power of 80 W is in place. Of course, the technological unit could not do without the corresponding internal storage of 256/512/1024 GB of UFS 4.0 format.

The photo capabilities are slightly behind other parameters of the phablet, but they cannot be scolded either. If the 8-megapixel wide-angle lens is quite simple, then the 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 photo module with hybrid stabilization does not give in even to evening photo sessions. Of course, the shots are simpler in detail than those of photo flagships, but there is very little noise and blur. The stereo sound is loud, voluminous, you can enjoy watching your favorite movies on the road. NFC contactless payments, 5G network support and a very affordable price distract from the main thing - the lack of a global version of the device. Buyers from Europe and the CIS will have to put up with the presence of untranslated applications and services and the lack of FDD-LTE B7. However, it is easy to turn a blind eye to such trifles, because there are almost no alternatives to the device.
