Vivo iQOO Z9s Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Vivo iQOO Z9s - beauty for India

The Chinese company Vivo knows how to make a great smartphone of any price category for one or another part of the globe. The hero of today's review is aimed at the Indian region and is ready to offer for a relatively small amount of money an almost flagship design, modern technical characteristics and excellent autonomy. However, for residents of Europe and the CIS, the gadget will no longer be so relevant.

As mentioned earlier, the appearance of the new product was a success. The green and gray colors of the glass back panels look expensive and stylish, the original block of photo modules and LED flashes around, and the display with thin frames around the perimeter are beautiful and original. It would be great if the phablet got rid of the plastic edging ... But metal in the body structure is already the prerogative of flagships. There is also moisture protection according to IP64 standards. The 6.77-inch AMOLED screen received not the highest resolution of 2392x1080 pixels, so the picture clarity is average. But the image can boast a crazy refresh rate of 144 Hz, a decent peak brightness of almost 2000 k / m2, realistic color rendition, a correctly working built-in fingerprint scanner and an effective oleophobic layer.

The MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor (8 GB / 12 GB RAM, Mali G615MC2 video core) has not been on the market for long, but has already managed to conquer millions of people with a combination of excellent performance (about 700,000 points in the AnTuTu test, smooth gameplay in resource-intensive games at medium-high graphics settings) and excellent energy efficiency. A capacious 5500 mAh battery will last for about a couple of days. Fast charging at 44 W will reduce the time at the outlet to about an hour. There are two versions of internal storage, 128GB and 256GB. We strongly recommend choosing the second one due to the lack of a MicroSD card slot.

The main 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 sensor with hybrid stabilization and a 2-megapixel depth sensor are responsible for photographic capabilities. The modules cope with both daytime and evening shooting, but when the lighting deteriorates, noise and blur can be found in photos and videos, although not in critical quantities. Among the advantages of the gadget, we also note support for 5G, but it also has many disadvantages. There are no NFC contactless payments, FDD-LTE B7, which is necessary for stable 4G performance in many European and Asian countries, is missing. As a result, the device is unlikely to suit everyone, but there are also many reasons to praise it.
