3598 yuan from the beginning defines new speed: performance flagship iQOO 3 evaluation

To some extent, iQOO The brand's product line is very unusual, and represents the ceiling of performance and the "pass line" of price. So far, the brand has released six models, each of which can make people full of expectations. In addition to the final price, what makes people curious is what changes iQOO can bring about around the top performance.

01 Conservation and change of family style design

It can be seen at a glance that this is full of iQOO style mobile phone , including the straight shape, the 3.5mm headphone hole rarely seen in flagship models, and the microphone and opening position of the body, the classic shape reflects the family design of iQOO.

In addition, the front 6 4 inches With a resolution of 1080 * 2400 and peak brightness up to 1200nit, the display effect of P3 color gamut brings a good visual experience; Under the premise of 5G and 4440mAh batteries, iQOO 3 Its body weight is 214g, and its size is 158.51 * 74.8 * 9.16mm.

Seeking change is the way to establish the brand. The change added to the appearance of iQOO 3 this time is the front camera hole digging and back shell texture: the 2.98mm aperture continues vivo S5 The excellent hole digging size is the same model, which can be said to be one of the smallest hole digging on the front screen of mobile phones at present; As for the back shell, the workmanship is more exquisite. If the color matching of Yuying Black and Liuguang Silver is somewhat familiar, then the color system of Rally Orange is completely different and more dynamic.

The familiar red power button reminds us that this is a landmark iQOO machine. Compared with other brands, the power key of iQOO mobile phone has a slightly longer key stroke, and the red key surface has a texture, which means that the press experience will be more comfortable. At the same time, the shoulder key on the side of the mobile phone is responsible for the pressure feedback during the game.

As for the feel, the flagship configuration adds some weight to the iQOO 3, but more importantly, the X-axis linear motor simulates the impact of the mechanical keyboard and provides a lot of physical feedback for the use experience.

In general, the appearance of iQOO 3 has begun to seek a breakthrough on the basis of the iQOO series. The small hole digging on the front and the grain and color matching on the back mean a breakthrough in modeling. In addition, on a 5G flagship, the function of retaining press feedback and HiFi is even more valuable. Its corresponding shoulder key and 3.5mm headphone hole also play a more practical role.

02 Model configuration of 5G flagship

stay iQOO Pro On 5G, the excellent performance is impressive, and this impression is reinforced again on the new generation of 5G flagship iQOO 3: Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC, WiFi 6, LPDDR5 storage, and the first UFS 3.1 flash memory are all top flagship configurations.

IQOO 3 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC. In addition to its top performance, the significance of Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 lies in that iQOO 3 supports SA&NSA dual mode 5G, and the 5G frequency band is correspondingly expanded - n1/n3/n41/n77/n78/n79, which can be called "full band 5G" at this time point.

Surprisingly, the 5G that needed to be stably connected outdoors before can now reach a good 5G on the station download Speed. 5G is being gradually popularized. In this scenario, iQOO has always insisted on the side distributed antenna and 4G/5G seamless switching and other technologies can be fully utilized.

Indoor 5G test

Speed has always been the label of the iQOO series. The flagship configuration of iQOO 3 also includes support for WiFi 6, LPDDR5 storage, and the first UFS 3.1 flash memory. Needless to say, WiFi6 is a technology comparable to 5G to some extent. It can enable multiple devices to transmit data at a faster uplink and downlink speed, which is a huge advantage of WiFi6 over WiFi5.

I remember that last year, UFS 3.0 was popularized. In early 2020, iQOO launched UFS 3.1. The speed is undoubtedly improved. Compared with UFS 3.0, the sequential read speed is 14% faster and the sequential write speed is 25% faster. This is directly related to the reading and writing performance of mobile phones, which is one of the indicators of mobile phone fluency.

AndroBench test

Test data shows that iQOO 3's sequential read speed will reach 1783MB/s, sequential write speed will reach 747MB/s, random read speed will reach 290MB/s, and random write speed will reach 244MB/s.

Several runs at the same time Software The achievements are as follows:

Angora rabbit Geekbench 4 and 3D Mark test

Through the game, you can directly see the performance of Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 in the high frame rate mode Glory of Kings And among the peace elites with the highest picture quality, they can maintain the full frame rate. It is worth noting that turning on the Monster mode of the mobile phone will make the CPU scheduling more radical and improve the system response speed. Therefore, it is necessary to turn on the performance mode during the game (the game space supports quick opening).

Among them, Peace Elite can reach 39 frames at the highest picture quality and 59 frames at the limit frame number. After one hour of Peace Elite, the heat dissipation of the mobile phone is good, and there is no "hot hand" feeling during the actual experience. The heat dissipation system of superconducting carbon fiber and liquid cooled soaking plate has laid a good foundation for temperature control.

Temperature measurement data of thermal imager

Here again, I want to mention the addition of linear motor to the game experience. With the 180Hz touch sampling rate and side pressure buttons, iQOO 3 has been thoroughly optimized in the game experience. In the actual use process, functions such as 4D vibration and game countdown are integrated in the game space, which is very friendly for game players.

Shoulder key to quickly enter the game space

There is no doubt that the performance of iQOO 3 is impressive enough. After most of the mainstream flagship configurations are equipped, the 3000 level starting price again implements the ultimate cost performance of iQOO.

03 Double charge pump supports 55W fast charge

The iQOO 3 has sufficient materials for its flagship configuration. The dual charge pump and Super FlashCharge 2.0 ultra fast flash charging technology have increased the maximum charging power to 55W. In fact, the endurance test and charging test are the most boring part of the evaluation process. Without much talk, you can just look at the data.

Under full power, use half of the screen brightness and volume, clear the background program, take pictures in order, 1080p Video playback , microblogging, video calling, browsing web pages, mobile games, listening to music, reading e-books and other operations, and record the remaining power of each node. Among them, the time for video playing and game testing is 1 hour, and that for other projects is half an hour. The test duration is 5 hours in total.

The 30 minute charging test refers to: when the mobile phone power is 0, close all background applications for 30 minute charging, and record the power every 5 minutes.

The final endurance charging performance of iQOO 3 is as follows: 54% of the final remaining power after 5 hours of heavy use, and 78% of the 4440mAh battery after 30 minutes of charging. The charging curve of the first half is very steep, and the trickle charging of the second half does not last too long, making the performance of charging data very impressive.

04 48MP four shots for color perception

The rear camera configuration of iQOO 3 includes 48MP main camera+13MP ultra wide angle+13MP telephoto+2MP depth of field. The surprise is the introduction of 13 million pixel 50mm focal segment portrait lens, which will automatically enter the 2X telephoto interface during portrait shooting and add the human eye focusing function.

The advantage is that the playability of the entire mobile phone shooting has been greatly increased. Considering that iQOO 3 supports 2x optical zoom and 20x digital zoom, the 50mm portrait lens further enriches the coverage of the focal section.

Secondly, the 48 million pixel main photography has achieved a relatively good image straight out color perception, which is actually the consistent style of iQOO. Even though the sensor parameters are not very hard core, the HDR and night scene tuning styles are relatively practical for users, and color is synonymous with iQOO 3 imaging.

When the daily light is sufficient or facing the still life, the color tuning advantage of this 48MP lens can be brought into play. The backlight HDR is very practical in daily shooting, which can greatly improve the shooting rate. In addition, intelligent AI scene recognition equipped with the camera can also switch optimization methods for different scenes.

In the night scene mode, the exposure duration will increase, about 2s, corresponding to the overall brightness and dark details of the proof. Of course, color is still one of the key words for the photos of night scenes. The color of the straight sample can be said to be more pleasing to the eye.

05 IQOO UI, further

The former performance mode, or Monster mode, has a set of exclusive dynamic effects and performance optimizations, which become the name of the UI with its sense of speed and technology. On iQOO 3, the name of the UI has been changed to the iQOO UI that is easier to remember. The brand always has the appeal of communication, and the young brand iQOO has found its own way of brand communication.

As for the system level changes, they can be reflected in the system push of Zhou Geng. Some people joke that only the update speed of iBUG OS13 can match it. Compared with the former, the updating of iQOO is continuous self-improvement.

Updated iQOO UI

On the one hand, the functional details of iQOO UI are compared with those of home-made customized UI, which also belong to a rich category: exclusive Voice Assistant Key, customized UI store, standard NFC function of the whole system, smooth animation and screen display effect based on screen quality; There are even some "black technologies" like quick screen casting and sharing, which are almost the best screenshot tools for Android.

The mechanical keyboard also continues the customized features of iQOO

The same details are also reflected in the horizontal axis linear motor specially loaded by iQOO 3, The concepts of green axis, red axis and tea axis are derived from the mechanical keyboard. By adjusting the vibration waveform of the linear motor and restoring the vibration feedback of the mechanical keyboard, its hitting feel can undoubtedly rank among the first echelon; And this set of customized typewriting They are also realistic enough.

In addition, users can still experience the vibration feedback brought by the linear motor in most scenarios such as the sliding back of the system, the setting of the alarm clock, the ringing alarm and the click of the game. I have to say that the X-axis linear motor is an optimization with great benefits. I can feel the difference of iQOO 3 from the beginning.

On the other hand, the iQOO UI needs to find the most appropriate presentation mode for these rich functions. Take the message notification bar and the drop-down menu bar as an example. I remember that there have been several changes in the Monster UI period. By the iQOO UI version, the overall usability of the system has achieved good enough results, and the version has been constantly updated toward the goal of "ease of use".

Write at the end

Performance flagship has always been the positioning of iQOO series, and iQOO 3's thinking and divergence around performance make this phone another flagship that redefines speed.

The mechanical keyboard feedback of the linear motor runs through the scenes of daily use. The dual mode 5G, WIFI6, LPDDR5 and the first UFS 3.1 under the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 are comprehensive in the configuration of iQOO 3. The iQOO UI launched again after the name change makes the phone easier to use.

Of course, the price factor must be considered. As the flagship of Snapdragon 865 with the most radical pricing at present, iQOO's target audience and product strategy are the same as before - redefining the speed will attract users who pursue a "fast" experience.
