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

Starting from the iQOO 5 series, the iQOO brand began a "transformation", from a focus on "extreme performance" to a "comprehensive bucket machine", and to the iQOO 8 era, it evolved into two product lines-one with more emphasis on the horizontal screen e-sports experience, and the other with an all-round flagship full of all-round experience. This strategy continues to this day.

Just this afternoon, the new iQOO 11 series of phones was officially launched. like previous generations, iQOO 11 continues the digital and digital Pro product portfolio, one is the flagship straight-screen game, and the other is the all-around king of curved screen.

In this article, CTOnews.com will bring a picture and text evaluation of iQOO 11.

First, the appearance of color matching, iQOO 11 provides the track, Legend, Isle of Man Special Edition of three colors, of which Legend, Isle of Man Special Edition using glass fiber silicone leather material, and the track version is rock crystal AG glass.

CTOnews.com got the legendary version.

In the design language of the whole machine, the legendary version of iQOO 11 does not continue the previous generation of plain leather + glass splicing design, but returns to the "iQOO 8" era, the iconic tricolor pattern runs through the whole machine, so that people can see at a glance that this is an iQOO phone.

The tricolor pattern also uses the "Paris nail pattern" design, which makes the look and feel richer and more refined.

As for the camera module, it is still the iconic cloud design of the iQOO family, but the module area is larger, occupying almost 1/3 of the fuselage.

Inside the module, there are still three cameras arranged in L shape, with the V2 logo on the top right, proving that the phone is also equipped with the vivo self-developed chip V2.

The middle layer of the cloud stage module adopts metal frosting technology, silver gray texture, and the plain leather fuselage complement each other.

The black bar below the module is not a camera, but an anti-flicker light sensor. The metal is also printed with the character "ULTRA SENSING", using CNC precision Seiko carving process.

IQOO 11 legendary version of the rear shell uses glass fiber + silicone leather technology, with higher strength and toughness, and this silicone leather feel is obviously different from the traditional phone's "plain skin" process, the former has a heavier sense of damping, less "dry", and even some "sticky feel".

In terms of body size, the legendary BWH of iQOO 11 is 164.86*77.07*8.72mm and weighs 205g, the weight of a performance flagship.

The metal middle frame is treated with very fine scrub, the electricity key and volume key are located on the right, and the bottom and top middle frame are treated with flat treatment.

There are infrared and speaker holes at the top, and speakers, charging ports, microphones, SIM card slots and so on at the bottom.

Although it is a straight screen design, but the iQOO 11 legendary version of the grip feel is relatively good, the main reason is the silicone leather back shell, holding in the hands of a strong sense of damping, do not have to worry about the risk of accidental slip, very suitable for "streaking".

Go back to the front.

The legendary version of iQOO 11 uses the traditional straight screen design, with a plastic bracket between the screen and the middle frame, but the screen share is still very high. After lighting the screen, it almost achieves the visual "equal narrowness" on the left and right sides, and the chin is a little wider, but it doesn't have the cheap sense of a thousand yuan machine.

This vertical screen is also very popular, first of all, it is equipped with a 6.78inch 2K ultra-clear large screen, a new generation of E6 luminous material, vertical 3200 pixels x horizontal 1440 pixels, this is also the first time that the iQOO digital series upgraded 2K large screen.

Not only that, the 2K E6 screen also supports the highest 144Hz screen refresh rate and 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, high brush and eye protection configurations are full.

Compared with the previous generation E5PowerE6 screen brightness is higher, the peak brightness reaches 1800nit, the manual maximum brightness is 600nit, and the global maximum brightness (HBM) is 1100nit. In addition, this screen is also equipped with iQOO self-developed screen color accuracy algorithm, JNCD ≈ 0.26 magic deltae ≈ 0.30, the default mode and professional mode can ensure good color performance.

Generally speaking, the upgrade of the iQOO 11 screen is quite obvious, especially the improvement of brightness, which can be said to be the ceiling level of the products in the same gear. For those partners who have higher requirements for screen display, iQOO 11 is a good choice.

In packaging, iQOO 11 still continues the family design. As the world's top partner of BMW M Motorsport, the logo of the BMW M on the box and the card of the iQOO & BMW M custom version of the car are essential.

Accessories, it is still familiar with the clear water shell, clip needle, 120W charging head and data cable.

It is worth mentioning that this 120W quick charging head also uses the C port design. I have to say that Blue Factory is really fast in popularizing the C port of the fast charger, which is worth learning from competitors.

2. Performance note: Boost mode is turned on in the running score test.

In terms of configuration, iQOO 11 is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor, supplemented by the self-developed chip V2Magne LPDDR5Xportable UFS 4.0, which supports 120W ultra-fast flash charge + 5000mAh large battery. Other configurations include full-function NFC, stereo double-lift support, symmetrical double X-axis linear motor and full-inductive control system 4.0functions.

First of all, we are most concerned about the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor, which is Blue Factory's second Snapdragon 8 Gen2 flagship, and Blue Factory is the only manufacturer that has released two Snapdragon 8 Gen2 phones so far.

On the X90 Pro +, the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 performed quite well-not only broke the CTOnews.com evaluation room record, but also impressed me with low power consumption and temperature control. What about the performance on iQOO 11?

The old rule is, first of all, the measurement of running points.

As shown in the figure above, the total score of iQOO 11 Ann Rabbit is 1299840, with a score of nearly 1.3 million, which is about 4000 points higher than that of X90 Pro +, once again setting the highest running score of the CTOnews.com evaluation room, and also higher than the running score of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 engineering machine tested by CTOnews.com (1289346).

In the storage test, Androbench ran out of the 3524MB/s reading score, and the writing score reached 2678MB/s, which belongs to the normal performance of UFS4.0, far exceeding the 1800MB/s (read) score of UFS3.1.

GeekBench 5 ran points, the record was once again won by iQOO 11-single core 1492 points, multi-core reached an astonishing 5154 points, the specific ranking is as follows:

Part of the SoC GeekBench 5 run points, multiple run scores take the highest value, the results are only for reference and then take a look at the 3D Mark focusing on GPU results.

In the Wild Life project, iQOO 11 scored 12575, with an average frame rate of 81.30, and a stability of 85.8% for 20 consecutive rounds of 3D Mark Wild Life,iQOO 11.

Overall, the configuration of iQOO 11 can be seen as the current Android phone ceiling level, whether it is GPU running points or CPU running points, is a proper performance of the king.

Of course, running points is only a theoretical achievement, so what about the game experience of iQOO 11? Let's move on to the game section to explore the game performance of iQOO 11.

Third, game note: all game tests are in Boost mode.

CTOnews.com chose the "original God" with the highest picture quality for measurement.

It's still the same rule.

IQOO 11 turns on Boost mode, the highest picture quality of 30 minutes is loaded with "original God", the picture quality is full height, dynamic blur is turned off, the scene chooses to run in the wild + fight monsters, and the battle scene takes up about half the time.

The original image quality selection as shown above shows that the average frame rate of iQOO 11 is 59.4fps and the stable frame index is only 1.2 (the smaller the better).

As shown in the image above, there is no frame lock in iQOO 11 in the 30-minute game, and the frame rate of the battle scene is generally between 49 and 60.

In terms of core fluctuations, the main force is 2 A715 and 2 A710, running against the 2.18GHz; 3 A510 small cores running against the 1.5Ghz; and the largest X3 super-large core, which is in a casual state, basically maintained above the 0.8GHz, but not fully developed.

In terms of core temperature, the average CPU core temperature of iQOO 11 is 63.7 °C, which is already quite good.

In terms of body temperature, after 30 minutes of "original God", the highest temperature of the phone is only 41.5 °C.

If Snapdragon 8 plays "original god" and "hot hand", then the temperature of iQOO can only be said to be "waste heat". Fever exists, but it is also completely within an acceptable range, so it can be seen that the power consumption performance of Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is really a surprise.

The measured power consumption data also confirm this point. In the original God game, the average power consumption is only 5.64W, which is similar to that of the previous generation of Snapdragon 8 + and much lower than that of Snapdragon 8 (about 7W). At the same time, the average frame rate of "Yuan Shen" is higher.

Let's take a look at "Arena of Valor" at 120 frames, which also turns on the highest picture quality.

After a game, iQOO 11 won the results of 120.4FPS, full frame performance, naturally there is nothing to say.

Of course, for iQOO 11, a good game is just a pass, and a good game is a full score.

First of all, as the official KPL game machine in 2022, iQOO 11 launched the call of Duty Mobile Game 144frame high frame rate mode, but at the time of the author's test, the 144frame version was not yet online, so we can look forward to it.

For games that do not support native 144high brushes, this time, iQOO 11 brings three times the effect of inserting frames with the help of the self-developed chip V2. After all, this 144Hz high-brush screen can not be wasted, iQOO 11 with the "corner overtaking" way to achieve an alternative 144Hz high-brush game experience.

The self-developed chip V2 cooperates with the GPU of Snapdragon 8 Gen2 to bring two modes of "increasing frame rate" and "optimizing power consumption". Take "Yuan Shen" as an example, the highest frame rate is 60 frames. When "increase frame rate" is turned on, GPU will render 48 frames, then insert frames 3 times through V2, and finally achieve the effect of 144frames.

"Game for Peace" similarly, as shown in the following figure, in the 10-minute game demonstration, the default game is 90 frames in the first five minutes, and after the "increase frame rate" function can be turned on in the next five minutes, GPU only needs to render 48 frames, and then insert frames 3 times to achieve the effect of 144frames.

In addition to the V2 chip, there is another secret to the fun of iQOO 11 games-manipulation.

In fact, the performance of flagship phones is basically the same, the same chip, "original God" you can go up to 60 frames, then other mobile phones stack heat dissipation, do a radical adjustment can also be done.

But how to make the game feel good needs some different functional experience.

For example, the under-screen double pressure control sense brought by iQOO 11 and the built-in two X-axis linear motors can support pressing operation in the left and right areas of the screen. In the setting, you can also set the corresponding pressing strength, vibration feedback strength and so on.

When the mobile phone detects the user's pressing action, the linear motor on the left and right sides will identify the pressing area, press on the left, and the linear motor on the left will simulate a close to physical pressing feel, and the right side is also similar.

You can map the pressing areas on the left and right sides to the corresponding function buttons in the game, so as to realize the operation of two dimensions. For games like call of Duty and Game for Peace, which extremely test hand speed, the sense of pressure on the left and right screen can greatly improve the operational efficiency of the game.

Compared with the "shoulder key", the author thinks that the "screen pressure" is better in terms of experience and efficiency. With one finger, it can do two operations at the same time-for example, in the call of Duty game, you can map the open lens button on the left side of the game, and there is no need to click the open lens button in the game, just press your finger hard on the screen. You can complete the opening of the lens while running-shoot.

Once you are familiar with the pressure operation, playing call of Duty Mobile Games is really much more enjoyable and precisely because of the addition of these two linear motors, iQOO 11 has also achieved a richer and more delicate game shock experience. Take "Game for Peace" as an example, in the game, you can choose to shoot shock, injury feedback, nearby vehicle movement and so on. When encountered in the game around the vehicle moving, two linear motors can better simulate the sense of direction.

In games such as "Arena of Valor" and "League of Legends", two linear motors can also provide rich skills, killing vibration and so on.

IQOO 11 also continues the "posture manipulation" function, where users can map keys with different body gestures to achieve multi-dimensional manipulation.

For example, the author in the "Game for Peace" game, set the "horizontal front pressure" to change, "right hand" to jump, "left hand" to shoot, in the game, through the corresponding body sensation, can trigger the corresponding operation. It should be noted that "posture manipulation" and "screen pressure" cannot be turned on at the same time, but the author thinks that a "screen pressure" is enough.

Not only that, iQOO 11 also supports custom touch effects. In "Control Settings", you can "fine-tune" click sensitivity, sliding and chirality, and micro-precision to choose the handle that best suits you.

IQOO 11 also supports features such as "Game Visual Enhancement" and "Game Sound". The former can set different display effects and filters for the game screen, while the latter can present the sound effects of the game in a more three-dimensional effect.

All in all, in addition to ensuring top performance, iQOO 11 focuses on a comprehensive experience upgrade around the three dimensions of "audio-visual touch". It is no exaggeration to say that iQOO 11 brings a comprehensive game experience that is even better than that of some game phones.

For players, these functions that can be called "physical plug-ins" can actually bring straight-line improvements to the game experience, which is really difficult to use.

Finally, I will briefly talk about the other two small features brought about by iQOO 11.

The first is "hardware-level light pursuit technology on mobile". Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 supports hardware-level light pursuit technology, so iQOO 11 adds this technology in the "oracle" mobile game, which can achieve real physical reflection effect in specific scenes. However, at present, this effect is limited to the "Lingbo Hall" scene in the game, and the scope of application is still limited. Of course, we should give iQOO and mobile game manufacturers some more time.

Secondly, iQOO 11 cooperates with Tencent START Cloud Games to add the "cloud game" function. In the game box, you can find the entrance to the cloud game. At present, it is adapted to 60-70 games such as "NBA2KOL2", "Fortnite", "Dungeon & Fighter", "Boxing King 14" and "Gu Jian Qitan III".

CTOnews.com simply tested "Fast Cycling" and "final Fantasy 15" two PC games, both in terms of screen and fluency, the experience is relatively good, but only if the network is in good condition.

In addition, clicking the button will also have a certain degree of vibration feedback, which is quite a bonus. As for the deficiency, perhaps in the earlier version, the UI interface is still a little rough, and secondly, if you can add handle support, the experience will obviously be better.

"Ride at full speed"

"final Fantasy 15" 4. CTOnews.com also briefly tested the charging and battery life performance of iQOO 11.

The iQOO 11 has a 5000mAh super-capacity battery and can theoretically have a very strong battery life, supplemented by a 120W fast charge.

Large battery and super fast charge, iQOO 11 is available at the same time.

CTOnews.com measured that iQOO 11 will charge from 1% to 100%, which takes a total of 22 minutes (including trickle time), which is extremely fast for a large 5000mAh battery.

CTOnews.com also tested the 2-hour battery life of iQOO 11. Before the test, the volume and screen brightness of the mobile phone system were set to 50%. Bluetooth was enabled and the whole process was carried out under the Wi-Fi network. The initial battery of the phone was 100%.

First, play the "original God" for 30 minutes, consuming 10% of the electricity:

"Game for Peace" for 30 minutes, consuming 7% of electricity:

30min 1080p online video, power consumption 4%:

30 minutes short video, power consumption 4%:

With a total of 120 minutes of test time, iQOO 11 consumes 26% of its power and has excellent battery life. Combined with the daily use of CTOnews.com tests these days, it is not a problem for iQOO 11 to stick to one day for a slightly more frequent use than normal.

Fifth, the last part of the image part, back to the image part.

IQOO has always emphasized omnipotence, so the image part has not been left behind, and iQOO 11 is equipped with a familiar three-camera combination.

Main photo: 5000 megapixels, Samsung GN5, f / 1.88F, 1max 1.57" sensor size, 1.0um unit pixel size, OIS optical anti-shake

Ultra-wide-angle lens: 8 megapixels, OV08D, f / 2.2 aperture, 1 stroke 4 "sensor size, 1.12 μ m unit pixel size

Telephoto lens: 1300 megapixels, Samsung 3L6, f / 2.46F / 2.46F, 1max 3 "sensor size, 1.12 μ m unit pixel size, 50mm.

Main sample sheet:

IQOO 11 image configuration is worthy of its own product positioning, the main photo is an old friend Samsung GN5 that Blue Factory is familiar with, and with optical anti-shake, the film rate is very high, although it is cloudy and rainy weather when shooting, but the overall look and feel is still good, the picture retains a good tolerance and sharpness performance.

8 million Ultra wide Angle at first glance is slightly suspected of "counting", but the actual experience is OK, at least the first look is not able to see 8 million pixels.

The higher usage telephoto, the Samsung 3L6 with 1300 megapixels, is slightly better than the main 2X trimming.

Super wide-angle sample sheet:

2X long focus sample sheet:

Main photo, night:

In the night scene, iQOO 11 also has a self-developed chip V2, which further breaks through the effect of the polar night scene. In the scene with complex light, the highlight suppression ability of the iQOO 11 subject photo is good, for example, the complex neon lights above do not overflow, but the sky is slightly noisy, and the distant walls are slightly sharper, which seems a little unnatural.

In some dark indoor environments, iQOO 11 puts more emphasis on the "sense of atmosphere". For example, in the picture above, the effect of night vision is not very strong, and the exposure strategy is slightly conservative, but it also happens to create a strong sense of "darkness", which is very pleasant at first glance.

Written in the end: this time, iQOO 11 brought Snapdragon 8 Gen2, 2K E6 144Hz full-sense screen, 5000mAh battery and other powerful configurations, based on the self-developed chip V2 is to achieve three times the game frame insertion effect, such as double X-axis linear motors and other configurations also further enhance the full sense control, which are the core advantages of iQOO 11.

After a period of comprehensive experience, we can now come to the conclusion that iQOO 11 is still the flagship of straight screen positioning for non-game phones that are most suitable for playing games.

Of course, being good at playing games can not be simply defined as "e-sports mobile phone". IQOO 11 also has many all-round experiences, such as images, such as screen and speaker performance, etc., especially the design of iQOO 11 is obviously more "friendly" to users-that is, it retains recognition and is not as grandiose as game phones. Like some game graphics cards, it seems that only a variety of RGB lights, secondary II design language, can show the appearance of the game, but often, gamers prefer those simple, generous shapes.

IQOO is obviously going the right way.
