Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

A year ago, iQOO Z5 was officially released. In the following double 11 and 618 this year, this phone has always been the first choice of thousand yuan phones recommended by the author to relatives and friends. The reason is also very simple. It is below 2K and provides a phone experience comparable to the 3K quasi-flagship model. To put it more bluntly, this is a thousand yuan model dominated by "quality-to-price ratio".

A year later, the iQOO Z series has officially ushered in a new generation, so how is the experience of this brand new iQOO Z6 phone? Can we continue the quality-to-price advantage of iQOO Z5? CTOnews.com got the phone and now brings you the first time to evaluate the experience.

The first part: the design starts from the color matching, this time iQOO Z6 provides golden orange, Xinghai, ink jade three colors, the three major colors are using the second generation starlight AG process, so in the look and feel, the three colors are a bit more smart, take the golden orange taken by CTOnews.com as an example, at first glance, golden and orange is particularly eye-catching, it is difficult not to notice its existence.

When the light is carried on the fuselage, countless golden light spots will emerge on the golden-orange fuselage, beating with the change of light, warm and smart.

Due to the use of the AG process, the feel is also much more silky, for its own mid-end positioning, the iQOO Z6 rear cover process design is excellent enough.

The lens module design of iQOO Z6 has also been greatly changed, from the previous "cloud step" to the current "double ring" design, which is wrapped in a silver ring, the inner ring of the halo, and a precision glass etching texture, among other things, in the same gear products, the advanced sense and recognition of iQOO Z6 must be there.

The middle frame of the iQOO Z6 is made of plastic, with a fine layer of scrub on the surface and the same color as the back case; at the bottom of the body are charging ports, speakers and microphone holes, and a rather rare 3.5mm headphone hole, the wired headphones that eat ash at home can come in handy on the iQOO Z6 again.

Because of the bottom 3.5mm headphone hole, the SIM card slot is also placed on the top of the fuselage, while on the right side of the fuselage is the volume key, as well as the power key and fingerprint identification button.

Since it is a side fingerprint, the LCD screen of the iQOO Z6 is also indispensable. According to officials, iQOO Z6 has newly customized a high-specification flagship LCD screen, including 100% P3 color gamut, HDR10, HBM highlight mode 650nits and other hardware specifications.

Like the model in this gear, the iQOO Z6 has a plastic bracket between the screen and the middle frame, but instead of protruding directly above the middle frame, it uses a small trapezoidal chamfer design; the LCD screen uses a micro-perforated design, the forehead and left and right frame are basically "visually narrow", but the chin is slightly wider. Compared with the back, the exquisite feeling on the front of the iQOO Z6 is still a little too hot.

For display, iQOO Z6 6.64 inch screen, resolution 2388 × 1080, 1500 480nits 1 screen contrast, screen peak brightness 650nit (typical value 480nits), 100% P3 wide color gamut and HDR10 display.

Support for 30, 45, 48, 50, 60, 90, 120Hz 7 and 240Hz touch refresh rate; eye protection, including support for T Ü V full care 2.0 certification, full-time low blue light support, global DC dimming, etc.

There have been fewer and fewer phones with LCD screens in the past two years, but LCD screens are still a real and existent need for some people. after all, they are more eye-friendly and more comfortable to use at night than OLED,LCD, so if you are a staunch supporter of LCD screens, then the iQOO Z6 is perfect for you.

In terms of body size, the BWH size of iQOO Z6 is 164.17 × 75.80 × 8.59mm and the weight is 194.6g. Under this weight, it is supported by dual-cell 80W flash charge and 4500mAh, as well as X-axis linear motor and full scene NFC.

Part 2: 80W fast charge experience compared to the 44W flash charge of the iQOO Z5, this time the iQOO Z6 upgraded the 80W flash charge, which is even higher than the charging specification of some flagship computers. The 80W flash charge of the iQOO Z6 uses a dual-cell scheme (20V 4A), and officials say the large 4500mAh battery will be recharged from 1% to 100% as soon as 30 minutes.

CTOnews.com also carries out simple charging measurement, and records the charging power through POWER-Z.

As shown in the figure above, turn off the screen charging from 1% of the battery:

1 minute, charge to 9%, power up to about 68W

3 minutes, charge to 18%, the power is about 69W

5 minutes, charge to 27%, the power is about 49W

10 minutes, charge to 44%, and the power is still about 33W.

15 minutes, charge to 61%, power about 40W

20 minutes, charge to 77%, and the power is still about 38W.

25 minutes, charge to 87%, and the power is still about 27W.

30 minutes, charge to 98%, and the power is reduced to about 15W

The UI shows 100%, which takes less than 32 minutes, and the charging power is maintained at about 11W.

Finally, it is completely full, and it takes about 33 minutes, and the power display is basically zero.

It took a total of 33 minutes from 1% to full charge of the phone, of which 32 minutes were shown by UI.

CTOnews.com measured with the help of Power-Z, in the charging process, iQOO Z6 can initially achieve an amazing peak power of close to 80W, and then maintain around 68W, even if the electricity reaches 50%, it still maintains 40W + power. The following picture records the power change of iQOO Z6 during the whole charging process. It should be emphasized that during the charging process, the author also lights up the screen frequently to check the electricity data. This speed is obviously even faster. Of course, in terms of this charging test, the 80W flash charge of the iQOO Z6 is already a flagship experience.

In the battery life part, CTOnews.com also carried out a simple test.

The whole test is carried out under the Wi-Fi network, the Bluetooth and positioning functions are turned on, and the system volume and screen brightness are adjusted to 50%.

First, one hour of online video (Youku, HDR quality), which consumes 10% more power, so it is estimated that iQOO Z6 can continuously watch 10 hours of ultra-clear video online; second, it is 30 minutes of "Game for Peace", which turns on fluent picture quality + limit frame rate, which consumes 8% of power. It is estimated that iQOO Z6 can also play games for more than 6 hours.

Combined with the daily use of iQOO Z in CTOnews.com testing these days, it is not a problem to use medium intensity and stick to a day. After all, Snapdragon 778G Plus is blessed by TSMC 6nm process.

Of course, if you are looking for a longer-lasting experience, then there is the iQOO Z6x, which is powered by a large 6000mAh battery. According to official data, the iQOO Z6x can listen to music for up to 115.2 hours, navigate on maps for 18.5 hours, watch Tencent Video for 18 hours, and play Arena of Valor games for up to 13.7 hours.

The third part: image experience image part, iQOO Z6 is equipped with 6400 million master camera (f / 1.79F), 2 million professional depth of field lens, 2 million 4cm macro lens three camera system, see the back of the two "tactical" lens do not hurry to complain, this time, iQOO Z6 64 million master camera, unexpectedly brought OIS optical anti-shake, which is also in the 2K gear below, rare, can be equipped with optical anti-shake mobile phone.

Beside the point, Blue Factory has always been active in the popularization of optical anti-shake. For example, the previous iQOO Neo5 is equipped with optical anti-shake for IMX598, and for example, the GW1P main shot of iQOO Neo6 SE is also equipped with optical anti-shake, and even X70 Pro + four lenses are all equipped with optical anti-shake. This time the iQOO Z6 is also the vanguard of the popularity of 1000-yuan OIS.

The iQOO Z6's main camera sensor is still GW3, with a 1.97 "sensor size and 0.7 μ m sensor unit pixel size. This is also an old friend of Blue Factory, which has been installed on the vivo S9. It is this optical anti-shake blessing and Blue Factory's algorithm of polishing GW3's light road that makes the iQOO Z6's main camera power shine.

Next, let's take a look at the measured sample of iQOO Z6:

We can't use the standard of the flagship phone to examine the imaging ability of this phone. In fact, compared with the flagship phone, the iQOO Z6 does pull a gear, but as far as the current gear is concerned, the iQOO Z6 has a good performance.

In the case of good light during the day, the iQOO Z6 sample is still the familiar blue factory memory color, the first look is very good, the sky is blue pure, plant branches and leaves are also lush green full of vitality, the color is slightly bright, green grass, sky, are more "colder" than the naked eye.

HDR samples still continue the usual advantages of Blue Factory, it is easy to stimulate, and the film speed is high, and in some large backlight scenes, this GW3 will also have a good dynamic range performance, such as the above image, the sunset scene, the highlight part of the cloud does not appear color fault, the overall picture exposure control is just right, the afterglow of the sunset on the water has a strong sense of atmosphere.

The iQOO Z6 provides 2X (camera zoom), but the resolution is almost too hot to be magnified, and smear marks are easy to appear in the dark in some environments with high light and dark contrast.

Thanks to the optical anti-shake blessing, the film production rate of iQOO Z6 has been greatly improved in some extreme scenes, such as sports scenes, such as night, such as backlighting, and so on. Therefore, in the night environment, the iQOO Z6 night scene sample is relatively pure, slightly brighter than that seen by the naked eye, and the highlight suppression is also very good, slightly exceeding the performance of this gear.

In addition, because of the optical anti-shake, the night scene mode of iQOO Z6 can cover almost all night scenes, which can further reduce the noise of the picture.

Some partners may have noticed that the iQOO Z6 is not equipped with ultra-wide angle, but think about it carefully, this gear, even if equipped with ultra-wide angle, is at most "tactical" wide-angle, it is better to spend all the cost saved on this main shot, so that the lens that is most frequently used every day can continue to shine and heat, not to do "rain and dew", but it must also be the core to do the best of the same level.

Part IV: performance experience hardware, iQOO Z6 is still the performance iron triangle combination: Snapdragon 778G Plus, 6400Mbps full blood version LPDDR 5, and full blood version UFS 3.1s. And provide 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB three different storage specifications.

CTOnews.com gets the 12+256GB version, which supports 4GB memory expansion.

Snapdragon 778G Plus is an upgraded version of Snapdragon 778G. The important thing is that the main frequency rises to 2.5GHz and has higher GPU and CPU performance. Specifically, Snapdragon 778G Plus adopts TSMC 6nm process, including 1 2.5GHz A78 macronucleus, 3 2.4GHz A78 medium and large cores, 4 1.8GHz A55 micronuclei, and GPU is 608MHz Adreno 642L.

In the performance part, we carried out a simple test through the running software such as an Rabbit.

In the running score of an Rabbit, the score of iQOO Z6 reached 600000 +. As a comparison, the score of the previous generation Z5 (Snapdragon 778G) was 540000 +, which increased the main frequency and brought a score of 50,000 points.

In the Geekbench5 running score, iQOO Z6 scored 826 for single core and 2938 for multi-core.

In the Androbench test, iQOO Z6 was read to 1647MB/s and written to 1299MB/s, which was consistent with UFS3.1 's performance.

3D Mark, which focuses more on the theoretical performance of GPU, in the Wild Life test project, iQOO Z6 has a total score of 2907, with an average frame rate of 17.40 fps. In 20 consecutive Wild Life cycle tests, iQOO Z6 achieved 99.3% stability, which proves that Dragon Snapshot 778G Plus has good power consumption and temperature control performance in high-intensity scenarios.

In terms of games, CTOnews.com chose "Game for Peace" and "Arena of Valor" two games for measurement.

It is worth mentioning that iQOO Z6 has been adapted to the native high frame rate versions of 20 + mainstream head games, including "Arena of Valor", "QQ Speed", "Naruto", "Ace Force", "Crazy Racing Kart Rider", "Moonlight Blade", "Ghost crying" and so on.

Therefore, the original high frame rate of "Arena of Valor" is measured here.

The picture quality of "Arena of Valor" is set as above.

As shown in the following picture, in a complete game (about 16 minutes) of "Arena of Valor" multiplayer battle, iQOO Z6 won the average 90.47fps score, with a minimum value of only 85fps and only two times lasting less than 1 s. This is basically a full frame experience, thus it can be seen that the performance of iQOO Z6 is quite skillful in games like "Arena of Valor".

In terms of power consumption, in Arena of Valor, the iQOO Z6 is only 2.314W:

Let's take a look at "Game for Peace" with fluent picture quality and ultimate frame rate.

The picture quality of "Game for Peace" is set as above.

Similarly, the test is actually a complete game (about 25 minutes), and the final measured average frame rate is 60.34fps, and the minimum frame rate is 55fps. Compared with "Arena of Valor", iQOO Z6 in the slightly higher configuration requirements of "Game for Peace" game performance, the lowest frame rate appeared three times, and most of the time fluctuated between 59-61fps, this result is still a full frame performance.

Let's take a look at the power performance. In "Game for Peace", the power consumption is even slightly lower than that of "Arena of Valor", reaching 1.862W, which is still a very low level.

The advantage of low power consumption can also be shown in terms of temperature. in the tests of the two games, the highest temperature was just over 40 °C, while most of the time, it hovered around 37-39 °C (the indoor temperature was about 24 °).

At least compared with previous tests of the Snapdragon 8 series flagship aircraft, the "low temperature" performance of the iQOO Z6 is really impressive.

"Game for Peace" temperature

"Arena of Valor" temperature

According to the official, iQOO Z6 has 1550mm ²VC liquid-cooled homogenizer plate, in addition to a large area of graphite thermal film + thermal copper foil + high thermal conductivity gel + 6 temperature sensors and other thermal configuration, so, but also for a long time the game provides a "low temperature" guarantee, of course, iQOO Z6 excellent temperature control is naturally inseparable from the Snapdragon 778G Plus itself for the control of power consumption.

In a word, in games like "Arena of Valor" and "Game for Peace", you can hardly feel the performance difference between Snapdragon 778G and Snapdragon 8 series flagship processors, and the experience is basically the same. The advantage of the Snapdragon 8 series of flagship processors is that it has a higher performance limit. For example, Snapdragon 8 performs significantly better in games such as the original God. But if you do not have particularly high performance requirements, or the budget is limited, in fact Snapdragon 778G Plus is a quite appropriate choice.

Configuration is the cornerstone of the game experience, and additional features in addition to configuration will make the game experience better. This time the iQOO Z6 upgrades the X-axis linear motor, full-link sound quality and new somatosensory control.

Specifically, in addition to the physical feedback of vibration in daily use, typing and other scenes, the X-axis linear motor will also bring a more real sense of vibration in the game. For example, in the game "Game for Peace", the 4D vibration function can be turned on. Every time iQOO Z6 shoots in the game, it will have very real physical tactile feedback and experience the vibration effects of different vehicles / different guns. For example, in "Arena of Valor" and "League of Legends mobile games" skills vibration, killing vibration and so on.

Although there are no dual speakers, in terms of full-link sound quality, the iQOO Z6 brings upgrades such as audio super-division, high-fidelity access, Super Audio and so on. As far as experience is concerned, the iQOO Z6 single speaker is loud, clear and bright enough to meet the needs of users' games and daily use, of course, as long as the fingers do not block the hole in the speaker while playing the game.

Finally, there is a whole new somatosensory manipulation. This feature was mentioned in CTOnews.com 's review of the iQOO 10 Pro, and the iQOO Z6 supports somatosensory manipulation, which is considered a flagship decentralization function. In the game sidebar, you can exhale the "somatosensory manipulation" option. Users can carry out key mapping through different body posture to achieve multi-dimensional manipulation.

For example, the author in the "Game for Peace" game, set "left tilt" to shoot, "right tilt" to jump, "left hand raised" to squat, in the game, through the corresponding body feeling, can trigger the corresponding operation.

Of course, these functions still require a learning process, but once you get familiar with it, it is basically a physical "plug-in". For gamers, this function is still very practical.

Conclusion: after a period of hands-on experience, CTOnews.com believes that iQOO Z6 is still a product with obvious competitive advantage in 2K gear. This competitive advantage, first, in the performance iron triangle configuration under the basic hardware configuration, such as high brush game adaptation, X-axis linear motor and somatosensory dynamics, but also provides gamers with this gear, a more cool play experience; second, it is a good main photography image, although there is no ultra-wide angle, but after the main shot has OIS, the iQOO Z6 main shot performance is indeed slightly higher than the same level.

From the pricing point of view, the 8+256GB version is the best choice, after all, larger storage, whether downloading games or storing images and data, will make you more relaxed. In addition, the iQOO Z6x of the 6000mAh super-large battery also gives users more options for long-term battery life.

All in all, the iQOO Z6 is ideal for users with a limited budget or less than 2K, and if you don't pay special attention to the plastic frame, or the slightly wider chin, or the lack of a wide angle, then the experience of the iQOO Z6 must be super and surprising.
