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

Vivo iQOO Z9s Pro - another hit for India

It seems that the Chinese company Vivo has decided to simply capture the Indian region with the help of extremely balanced and competitive smartphones. The latest models of the Z-series, with their modest price tag, provide simply excellent functionality, complemented by a stylish design and decent battery life. The hero of today's review is the personification of all of the above.

The appearance of the new product is almost identical to that of modern flagships. The glass white or orange leather-like back panel looks amazing, and the photo module block is also beautiful. It is difficult not to praise the frameless screen literally around the entire perimeter. The manufacturer saved only on the edging. It is made of plastic, not metal. The 6.77-inch AMOLED panel is unlikely to impress with image clarity at a resolution of 2388x1080 pixels, but the combination of a brightness reserve of almost 4500 cd/m2, realistic color rendition, 144 Hz refresh rate, a high-quality under-screen fingerprint scanner and an effective oleophobic layer allow the AMOLED display to receive the highest rating.

There is no fault to be found with the technical specifications. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, 8 GB/12 GB of RAM and Adreno 720 video core are not far from a million points in the AnTuTu benchmark, which makes it possible to count on medium-high and more impressive graphics settings in resource-intensive games. The demanding Genshin Impact will not be among the exceptions. The chipset is also very energy efficient, so you should start looking for outlets with a 5500 mAh battery only after a couple of days. Fast charging at 80 W reduces the period of battery capacity gain to 30 minutes. Of the two versions of internal storage of 128 and 256 GB, we strongly recommend choosing the second, because there is no slot for MicroSD cards in the device.

The photo capabilities of the 50- (the main Sony IMX882 sensor with hybrid stabilization) and 8-megapixel (wide-angle module) cameras are not unlimited, but impressive. Daytime shots in 99% of cases do not cause complaints, it is easy to create a high-quality evening photo without excess noise and loss of detail. The stereo sound is loud, voluminous, rich. The list of advantages is completed by the presence of 5G. But the disadvantages for potential users from Europe and the CIS will be the lack of NFC and FDD-LTE B7, B20, without which the 4G network functions mediocrely. If not for these unpleasant shortcomings, the device would be an international bestseller.
