The volume of iQOO 5 series this year was probably taken away by the iQOO 5 Pro equipped with 120W ultra fast flash charge, but ultimately the flagship iQOO sales in the second half of the year may be supported by the iQOO 5, which is positioned at the next level.
This model equipped with 120Hz straight screen OLED, Snapdragon 865, Samsung GN1, and 55W fast charge can be said to be all inclusive at first glance. Some users should also be interested in this phone, so let's understand the actual performance of iQOO 5 through the presentation of objective data+subjective experience.
appearance
Before the generation of iQOO 5, the overall iQOO brand mobile phones had a style of game oriented design, emphasizing cool, power and speed.
When it comes to iQOO 5, you can see the change of design style. The design of the camera module on the back is inherited from the vivo X50 Pro, along with the gradient AG fog glass and metal middle frame. Both the appearance and the touch are a bit more high-end color, completely removing the appearance of game phones, which is obviously more conducive to broadening the audience.
There is nothing to say about the single hole digging in the upper left corner of the front. It belongs to the mainstream design this year, and the straight screen is still a favorite. After all, this year, the flagship companies are eager for the curved screen. iQOO 5 is a choice reserved for consumers who have a desire for straight screen. The screen comes with a soft film. However, there is still room for improvement in the front design, mainly because the buffer layer between the screen and the middle frame dilutes the high-end texture built on the back of the phone in an instant, which is a pity.
In terms of grip feel, the iQOO 5 is worth praising. With 4500mAh batteries inserted, the weight of the whole machine is controlled at 197g and the thickness is 8.32mm, which can be regarded as a relatively thin category among the flagship machines this year; And because AG glass is used, the touch is also warm and delicate when holding.
screen
IQOO 5 is equipped with a 6.56-inch, 2376 × 1080 resolution AMOLED screen, which supports 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate.
brightness On the one hand, the measured maximum brightness of manual full white is 401 nits, and the local maximum brightness is 470 nits; Under the automatic excitation brightness, the maximum white brightness is 585 nits, and the local excitation brightness is 796 nits. The overall brightness performance is inferior to vivo's own X50 Pro+.
Color representation In terms of the iQOO 5 system, three color modes are built in, and the test results of manually fixing 110 nites are as follows:
The default standard mode, color temperature 7463K, covers 128% sRGB and 94.5% P3 color gamut. The average Delta E under sRGB is 6.5, the maximum is 11.8, and the average Delta E under P3 is 4.9, the maximum is 7.4;
Brilliant mode, color temperature 7487K, covering 143.4% sRGB and 99.7% P3 color gamut, average Delta E 7.7 under sRGB, maximum 13.2, average Delta E 5.8 under P3, maximum 8.8;
Professional mode, color temperature 6347K, covering 91.8% sRGB color gamut, average Delta E 3.9, maximum 7.4.

As mentioned earlier, this screen supports a 120Hz refresh rate, which is also a major selling point of iQOO 5. There are three options in the setting: 60Hz, 120Hz and intelligent switching. In the 120Hz mode, except for video applications such as Station B (even the video app provided by the system), other applications and games without the upper limit of the locked frame rate can run smoothly at 120Hz.
In general, the color and brightness performance of this screen is not the top flagship level, but the 120Hz high brush experience may bring a stronger perception than that.
performance
Our iQOO 5 is equipped with Snapdragon 865 SoC, supplemented by 12GB LPDDR5 memory and 256GB UFS 3.1 flash memory. Let's first look at the theoretical score data:
CPU
GPU
Flash Memory
We also measured the game performance:
The Elite of Peace has an average of 86 frames in the ultra-high definition picture quality+90 frame mode. At the beginning of the game, it can run full frames, but then it begins to fluctuate. The frame rate jumps horizontally between 70 and 90 frames, and the fluctuation will be obvious in the scene of driving vehicles.
After 20 minutes of the game, the maximum temperature on the front of the fuselage is 45.4 ℃, and the maximum temperature on the back is 43.5 ℃. The highest temperature appears on the upper part of the fuselage. The heating condition is better than the previously tested Redmi K30 Memorial Edition (Tianji 1000+), but it can be seen that the Peace Elite under this picture quality still has high requirements for the performance and heat dissipation of mobile phones.

Let's take a look at the camera hardware parameters:
50 megapixel GN1 main camera, 1/1.3 inch big bottom, f/1.85 aperture, four pixels in one equivalent single pixel 2.4 μ m
13 megapixel ultra wide-angle lens, f/2.2 aperture
13 megapixel portrait lens, f/2.46 aperture

Compared with the iQOO 5 Pro, the two are very similar in terms of color style and analytical power of the main imaging, but the latter has super long focus and optical anti shake support, which is better than the iQOO 5 in terms of the richness of focus segments and the film rate in some scenes. In general, iQOO 5 is not the main camera, but with GN1 as the sensor and Vivo's more pleasing hair color, reliable backlight HDR and night view mode algorithm, it is no problem to meet the needs of daily photography.
user's experience
The iQOO 5 is equipped with the iQOO UI based on Android 10. Of course, except for a different name and the default theme, the iQOO 5 is basically the same system as vivo's own Funtouch OS, including Jovi voice assistant and game box.
The iQOO UI with the 120Hz refresh rate of the machine is quite guaranteed in terms of smoothness, especially the coherence and chirality of the full screen gesture animation, which is one of the best among several domestic customized ROMs I have experienced.
After a few days of use, I think that it has basically all the functions I should have (including the screen segmentation and dark mode that I most often use). What I slightly dislike is that when I open the developer mode, a card will still pop up and stay on the notice bar (but it has been better than the continuous flashing in the status bar before).
Another surprise is that the Z-axis linear motor it carries is almost like an X-axis motor. It has a solid and powerful vibration feeling, without the "spring feeling". It is even better than the plain leather iQOO 5 Pro, which has a higher positioning. In addition, the "mechanical keyboard" function on iQOO 3 has also continued. In fact, several sets of mechanical keyboard skins have been customized in the default input method, and then the feeling of typing on the mechanical keyboard is simulated through tapping sound and vibration feedback. If you use a rotor motor or a poorly tuned Z-axis motor, this function will not work well.
Charging and endurance
In terms of endurance, iQOO 5 is equipped with 4500mAh battery, which passes through Love to play computer games The remaining power in the 2-hour endurance test is 81%. If the game is run in 60Hz mode, the remaining power is 85%, which is slightly inferior to Vivo's own X50 Pro+.
The charging specification is a key trade-off between iQOO 5 and iQOO 5 Pro. It is equipped with the same 55W flash charging scheme on iQOO 3. The measured charging starts from 1%, starts from 10 minutes to 26%, starts from 30 minutes to 69%, and starts from 53 minutes. The UI displays that the battery is fully charged. However, the charger terminal still displays a continuous output of about 3W until it drops to less than 1W at about 1 hour and 17 minutes.
During charging, iQOO 5 The actual maximum charging power is between 43 and 44W, but this power is maintained for a very short time, only about 15 seconds, and then quickly dropped to 34W, but also maintained for about 3 minutes. The real strong power in most of the fast charging time is about 25W. Although the performance is not bad, it is more or less a misnomer for a fast charging scheme with a nominal 55W.
summary
Although I can't deny the strength of iQOO 5 Pro in 120W fast charging (I was going downstairs to take a sample with iQOO 5 Pro once, and suddenly found that there was no power, and then it was available after charging for less than 5 minutes), I found that iQOO 5 may be a more balanced product after a review, The 120Hz screen and Snapdragon 865, which have the most significant impact on daily use, are not missing. The endurance is more prominent than the Pro version, and the straight screen may also be called a differential selling point. If you don't have such an extreme demand for fast charging, I may recommend iQOO 5.
But from the perspective of the whole domestic mobile phone market, The iQOO 5 machine was launched a little late. It is not hard to see that the iQOO brand is catching up with Xiaomi on the whole. In the first half of the year, the lack of iQOO 3 in the important configuration of the high refresh rate screen made it unpopular among some digital enthusiasts. The limelight was overshadowed by Xiaomi 10, and it had to rely on positioning the gap between iQOO Neo 3 and Xiaomi.
When iQOO 5 finally uses the 120Hz screen, Xiaomi and realme have lowered the 120Hz E3 OLED to the 2000 yuan level. Compared with the Xiaomi 10 at the same price, which has been sold for more than half a year, they have not been able to completely surpass it. So at the current price, the author believes that if we do not rush to buy the machine, we can wait and see if there is a price reduction of hundreds of dollars.
