The product iteration speed of domestic mobile phone manufacturers is really fast, especially for mid range mobile phones. In March this year, iQOO Z3 was officially released. Six months later, iQOO brought a new model Z5. The SoC was upgraded from Snapdragon 768G to Snapdragon 778G. The battery was expanded from 4400mAh to 5000mAh. In addition, UFS 3.1 flash memory, dual speakers, linear motors and other configurations were also added. The upgrade range is comprehensive for only half a year's iteration cycle.
Appearance/feel
(Left: iQOO Z3， Right: iQOO Z5）
The front of the iQOO Z5 is a common center punch screen. Compared with the previous Z3 water drop screen, it looks "advanced". The chin width control is not prominent today.
The fingerprint identification module is integrated on the power key, and the power key and volume key areas are concave inward as a whole; The fingerprint scheme comes from the top of the sink, and the recognition speed is very fast, which belongs to the level of touch second solution.
The iQOO Z5 on our hand is the "Dream Space" version, and the back has been processed with vertical lines, which is a more recognizable color matching. However, the blue purple gradient color is not very beautiful personally.
The back cover is made of frosted plastic, which has a good touch and can effectively avoid fingerprints. The 195g weight also makes the phone easy to hold.
The bottom is the SIM card slot, charging interface and speaker opening, and the top is reserved with an "extremely advanced" headphone hole.
screen
LCD screens have almost disappeared in models priced above 2000 yuan this year, but there are many models priced between 1500 yuan and 2000 yuan, such as Redmi Note 10 Pro, realme Q3, and this iQOO Z5.
The iQOO Z5 screen supplier is Tianma, with 6.67 inch, 2400 × 1080 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate specification, touch sampling rate of 240Hz, and 60/90/120Hz refresh rate option in the settings.
The maximum manual brightness of 489 nits (center area) in the measured full white image is not very ideal - the four corner brightness is 422/434/402/424 nits respectively.
The system has three built-in modes of standard, professional and gorgeous:
(iQOO Z5 standard mode corresponds to P3 color gamut and color accuracy performance)
(iQOO Z5 professional mode color standard performance)
The color temperature in the default standard mode is 7343K, covering 99.9% sRGB and 95.7% P3 gamut. The corresponding sRGB average color deviation is 4.6, and the corresponding P3 gamut average color deviation is 3.1;
The color temperature of professional mode is 6229K, covering 95.9% sRGB color gamut, and the average color deviation is 2.7;
The color temperature of Brilliant Mode is 7357K, covering 99.9% sRGB and 95.4% P3 color gamut. The corresponding sRGB average color deviation is 5.9, and the corresponding P3 color gamut average color deviation is 4.5
The overall display quality is relatively average. In addition, after using the flagship 2K OLED screen, you can clearly feel the difference between the Z5 screen and the chirality and picture permeability, and the drag perception under high brush is more prominent.
Considering that more and more OLED models do not do DC dimming this year, the inherent advantage of LCD screen models without stroboscopic+standard RGB pixel arrangement without compromising the fineness is still there, but the display quality of this kind of 1000 yuan LCD screen is really not enough to support the cry of "LCD will never be slave".
performance
In terms of hardware configuration, iQOO Z5 is a combination of Snapdragon 778G, LPDDR5 memory and UFS 3.1 flash memory. For the mid-range models of Snapdragon 700 series, it is rare to use LPDDR5 and UFS 3.1, thanks to the uMCP multi package chips provided by Samsung.
Performance of Snapdragon 778G Love to play computer games It has been evaluated on Glory 50 and Xiaomi Civi. The CPU performance of this SoC is roughly equivalent to that of Snapdragon 855+(a little more multi-core), while the GPU is roughly the level of Snapdragon 845. However, thanks to the new architecture and TSMC's 6nm process, the power consumption is much lower.
When iQOO Z5 is in Monster mode, this Snapdragon 778G is a little better than Glory 50 and Xiaomi Civi in some points. See the comparison of theoretical performance data:

GPU
Flash Memory
Although the flash memory is the UFS 3.1 specification, the continuous read speed is still significantly different from the current mainstream flagship's 1800-1900MB/s, but the continuous write speed is much better than all the current Snapdragon flagship models.
In terms of the game, I ran through Glory of the King. The iQOO Z5 supports the 90 frame mode, but it does not support extreme image quality at 90 frames. It can only be driven to the next level of HD. On average, 85.9 frames were played in one game, without obvious stumbling or frame dropping. The iQOO Z5 is basically competent for users who need to play Glory of the King.
camera
The iQOO Z5 camera still maintains the same configuration as the Z3 camera, including 64 megapixel GW3 main camera, 8 megapixel ultra wide angle and 2 megapixel tactical macro. This combination of 64MP+8MP+2MP seems to have become the standard configuration of the latest models at the same price. From this specification, it can be concluded that the product does not pay much attention to image performance on the hardware level.

The whole hair color in the daytime and nighttime automatic mode is relatively plain, which is quite different from the rich style before the vivo model.
The automatic night mode does not integrate the night scene algorithm, but the overall tolerance and detail performance of the whole film in the night scene mode is good, so it is recommended to shoot in the night scene mode directly.
Endurance&Charging&Others
Equipped with 5000mAh battery and Snapdragon 778G with good power consumption control, The endurance level of the iQOO Z5 is undoubtedly very desirable. After the test of five projects for 2.5 hours in a row, the iQOO Z5 has 78% remaining power, ranking first among the models we have tested this year. Personally, I think it can be called the most prominent selling point of this mobile phone. There is no problem with the moderate use of this endurance level.
Compared with the endurance, the performance of fast charging is not so fierce. The iQOO Z5 is equipped with a 44W charging head, which is a little backward in theory compared with the 55W of the previous generation Z3 (but the actual charging is the same level). The measured charging starts from 1%, the charging time is 10 minutes to 24%, 30 minutes to 59%, and the displayed charging time is 61 minutes to 100%.
During the charging process, the maximum power is about 35W, but it only lasts for less than a minute and a half. Most of the time, it stays in the range of 22 to 26W.
The iQOO Z5 is also equipped with a linear motor and dual speakers, which is significantly improved compared with the Z3 rotor motor+single speaker. Of course, the motor vibration feedback also belongs to the level of the entry-level Z-axis motor, which is relatively weak; The dual speakers exceeded expectations, and the external loudness and sense of hearing were basically the same as the asymmetric dual speakers commonly seen in flagship aircraft.
summary
This year's release of 2000 to 2500 yuan from Snapdragon 870 can be said to reduce the survival space of 700 series, making it necessary to further explore the Snapdragon 778G model that would have been active at this price. The temptation of consumers to gain stronger performance for two or three hundred yuan actually forces manufacturers to make some differentiation on the 778G model, The answer given by iQOO Z5 is long endurance, LCD and basically in place peripheral configuration.
If you are very concerned about the battery life of your mobile phone, and the performance is only required to be able to cope with the level of "King's Glory" games, or you are a firm LCD party, iQOO Z5 may be a good choice for the moment. Of course, there are many similar models in the future, such as the Q3s OPPO K9s、vivo T1， They are all Snapdragon 778G+5000mAh+LCD high brush configurations. Those who have relevant needs can also pay attention to these phones.
