IQOO 9 and iQOO 9 Pro Released on the evening of January 5, they are the second and third flagship of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in 2022. In this generation of iQOO, the two versions have unified the screen size and replaced it with a very special camera matrix design. The selling point is 4700mAh battery+120W fast charge+first launch GN5. The starting price is 3999 yuan and 4999 yuan respectively.

Appearance and accessories
The familiar carbon fiber grain packaging, the gas engine (orange plain leather) version of the phone case also has carbon fiber grain.
The iQOO 9 Pro, a 120W portable C-port GaN charging head with a weight of 135g, supports PD 3.0, PPS and QC5 protocols, and can provide 65W fast charging for notebook and other PD devices. Even the dual C-port wire delivered is also the length of notebook, unprecedented and environmentally friendly!
The camera matrix of iQOO 9 series has changed from the previous "cloud stage" to a huge piece of glass, which is very Cyberpunk. The frame under the right glass also has a hollow weight reduction design (it can't be seen from the outside).
iQOO 8 Pro、 Xiaomi 11 Ultra iQOO 9 Pro、 One plus 10 Pro ↑
Even vivo, who has always been low-key and introverted, has begun to pursue recognition ↑
The iQOO 9 Pro matte metal middle frame is still flat from top to bottom. The power key has orange embellishment and twill. The slot hole of the SIM card is different from the microphone in position and shape. The top is equipped with an infrared transmitter (the second flagship of BlueWorks that supports infrared).
One plus 10 Pro iQOO 9 Pro、 Xiaomi 11 Ultra ↑
The iQOO 9 Pro still uses the front contour of the iQOO 8 Pro/vivo X70 Pro+. The normal thickness of the flagship's border and the gradient of the curved screen are the largest among the three "Blue Green Orange" brands.
Workmanship: The keys are slightly empty, and the gap is well controlled;
feel: The iQOO 9 Pro has the best plain leather washer in the history of the blue factory, which is almost in perfect transition with the middle frame, and is more harmonious than the interface between the screen and the middle frame. The gradient of the curved screen is slightly larger, the corners are slightly square, and the weight is slightly larger than that of the previous generation, which affects the holding comfort;
Fingerprint: The only large area 3D ultrasonic fingerprint made in China (the other is iQOO 8 Pro), the core difference is that the fingerprint input, double finger recognition and recognition area are completed in one press. The recognition speed is about the same as that of normal fingerprints, but the area is really large. It can be hit at any time. It is a good civilization. I hope it can be popularized one day:
Vibrating motor: X axis linear motor of 9595, the strength is OK, and the tightness is OK
External release: The volume is large, the frequency deviation and direction difference between the upper and lower speakers are obvious, and the overall external performance is general;
Audio chip: Although the chip was replaced with AK4377A from the previous generation of mid-level CS43131, after the LG mobile phone died, the flagship of Blueworks is one of the few machines that adhere to audio chip, and it is used and treasured.
Screen and LTPO
IQOO 9 Pro professional mode sRGB color accuracy, average color deviation 1.6, good performance
The iQOO 9 Pro screen is replaced with Samsung E5 material, with a full white manual brightness of 463nit and an automatic full white 936nit, slightly improved compared with the previous generation. I don't know whether there is a brightness limit, because the Xiaomi 12 Pro, which is also an E5 screen, can be flushed to 1062nit automatically in full white.
In terms of color accuracy, iQOO 9 Pro surpasses iQOO 8 Pro and vivo X70 Pro+in the professional mode, with an average color deviation of 1.6, becoming the best mobile phone with color accuracy in Blueworks. The default standard mode displays sRGB content with an average color deviation of 5.3 and a maximum color deviation of 8.9, which is more beautiful than the previous generation. Users who have requirements for color accuracy are recommended to switch to professional mode manually.
Xiaomi 11 Ultra iQOO 9 Pro、 One plus 10 Pro, visual angle contrast ↑
Samsung said that the power consumption of E4 is 10% lower than that of E3, and the power consumption of E5 is 25% lower than that of E4. Characterized by more advanced luminous materials, with higher peak brightness; At the same brightness, it will save more power.
The new microlens used in this generation of E5 does have a certain negative impact on the viewing angle. Although the degree is still within the acceptable range, compared with the E4 screen, there will be more obvious blue and cold at a large angle, and there will be rainbow lines at a large diagonal angle.
Static refresh rate under different brightness ↑, the list page of station B is 120Hz ↑
The video playing page is 30-60Hz bouncing ↑
60Hz ↑ with bullet screen
Vivo's second generation LTPO is also a hardware solution, which does not require software adaptation (In fact, only Xiaomi's scheme needs App adaptation).
In the new firmware, the "Display Refresh Rate" selected by the developer can also display the real-time refresh rate of the screen.
When approaching the maximum brightness, the minimum refresh rate can be reduced to 1Hz, and the normal minimum refresh rate is 10Hz.
It is still 60 frames of third-party map and music app locks.
Test the LTPO strategy of iQOO 9 Pro with "egg LTPO" RefreshRateTester. The test simulated the animation of 1/10/20/24/30/48/60/72/90/96/120Hz, a total of 11 gears. The setting of iQOO 9 Pro is completely different from that of One Plus/True Self, and all gears will not bounce back 120Hz due to touch:
1/10/20/24/30Hz animation is the corresponding frame rate
48Hz animation is 36 to 42Hz
60Hz animation is 44 to 48Hz
72Hz animation is 48-60Hz
90Hz animation is 60Hz
96 Animation 60-72Hz
120Hz animation is 72-84Hz (it will return to 120Hz after the screen is turned off and unlocked, and the frame rate display or its logic seems to have a small bug)
So far, vivo and OPPO each have a set of LTPO 2.0 solutions, The vivo scheme saves power for complex scenes with fast frame rate changes (More gears and better control can be seen in egg LTPO) ， OPPO scheme is more power saving in regular scenarios 。
According to the interview with Dunding, The iQOO 9 Pro has turned off the hardware FLD function of the display chip (Low Frequency Driving, hard flipping is a low frequency drive), and the SoC will refresh only when it outputs a frame, at the cost of letting the SoC complete the work of periodically refreshing and supplementing TFT charges when still frames (this was originally the work of the display chip). The numbers displayed at the iQOO 9 Pro frame rate are irregular, and often there are not ten numbers.
As for the power saving effect of LTPO, although the iQOO 9 Pro uses a 4700mAh battery, which is slightly weaker than the endurance of one plus 10 Pro 5000mAh battery, there are also adjustments of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and more power saving Samsung E5 material screen help, It's still hard to judge which side is more responsible (According to Samsung's statement at that time, LTPO can reduce power consumption by 5% - 15%, while E5 saves 25% power than E4).
In addition, iQOO 9 Pro will switch the dimming mode by about 60% of the brightness bar (corresponding to the normal office lighting environment). The developer has the option of DC switch. After DC is turned on, the fluctuation depth is relatively large.

Android SoC Performance Comparison ↑
SoC performance comparison ↑
The enthusiasm of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has led to many strange phenomena this year. For example, once we want to transform "game phones", iQOO has become conservative in scheduling. Moto, which "no optimization is the best optimization", has become the most active Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in scheduling.
As for the 12.0.13.2 version of the system at the deadline, Monster mode+specific running points white list, some apps can let the iQOO 9 Pro's CPU run freely (even GeekBench's version number doesn't match, it won't run with all its strength), and the CPU part has refreshed the record of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in our database. The GPU part is obviously conservative, which can be regarded as "algorithmic compensation" for the GPU branch of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1?
The iQOO 9 Pro has a running machine that sticks to tradition, while daily scheduling is to show great care for batteries and endurance. The iQOO 9 Pro is probably the most conservative model of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The iQOO 9 Pro sets the maximum instantaneous frequency of the X2 super core of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 at 2.8G, the daily limit is generally 2.2-2.4G, and the call is not active; The most active one is three A710s, which can often reach 2.4G. Fortunately, the absolute performance of A710 and A510 is OK, and they can still maintain fluency in Taobao's "3A masterpiece".
The temperature control line is set at about 60 degrees (note that it is the temperature of the internal temperature sensor). The mobile phone will only be at the junction line of "warm to hot" at most, resulting in 24 degrees of room temperature. The stability test of 3D Mark has not been successfully completed.
The direct effect of conservative scheduling is heating control. The room temperature is 21.4 degrees. After 20 minutes of the iQOO 9 Pro's "Peace Elite" (HDR HD+limited frames+anti aliasing), the highest temperature on the front side is 38.9 degrees, and the highest temperature on the back side is 36.6 degrees.
The iQOO 9 Pro is a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+second generation LTPO+4700mAh dual cell. 200nit brightness, after 30 minutes of "Peace Elite" (HDR HD+limit frames+anti aliasing), 30 minutes of 1080P video playback at station B, 30 minutes of short video on microblog, 30 minutes of Wi Fi and 5G surfing, and a total of 2.5 hours of endurance testing, the iQOO 9 Pro has 72% remaining power.
Among the four LTPO 2.0 models, XX's endurance is second only to that of one plus 10 Pro with 5000mAh batteries, which performs better than many midrange computers with 1080P screens, and is significantly stronger than the previous generation.
The iQOO 9 Pro is 4700mAh dual cell+120W fast charging. In the blue factory of Shicheng, the disconnection time of iQOO 9 Pro is almost the same as the time when the system power is displayed at 100%. It displays 100% of the power in 19 minutes and is disconnected, with a peak value of 104.5W, lasting for 2 minutes; 85W 4.5 min; 57W 10 minutes; "Trickle" after 16 minutes.
Although the charging off time suffers from honesty, the iQOO 9 Pro's speed at each time node is faster than that of the previous generation with smaller batteries. In fact, 34%, 59%, and 84% of the time are spent in 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes. Fast charging is enough.

The iQOO 9 Pro replaces the previous generation of IMX766V with a GN5 that is close to the specification, and the ultra wide angle is changed from IMX598 to JN1 of 150 degrees, completing the transformation of Samsung Family Bucket:
First Samsung GN5 sensor, 5000W, 1/1.57 '', 1 μ m, with micro head and enhanced video recording anti shake, 7P lens, 23mm, F1.75 aperture;
150 ° ultra wide angle, 5000W, JN1, 1/2.76 ", '0.64 μ m, 120 ° after distortion correction, equivalent 15mm, 6P lens, F2.27 (fish eye mode, asteroid mode similar to panoramic camera);
1600W 2.5x telephoto, S5K3P9，1μm， 1/3.1 ", with OIS, equivalent 60mm, 6P lens, F2.23
Although the super wide angle of the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is JN1, the camera and software used by the manufacturer are different.
Vivo is more comfortable to use. The 150 degree mode is placed at the far left of the zoom button on the main interface. You don't have to go to the secondary menu like Green Factory. Ultra wide angle provides four functions of "fish eye, crystal ball, asteroid, and dreamland" in one breath. The latter two are similar to 360 degree panoramic cameras, and they can even customize zoom, rotation, and integration, which is one step in the right direction.
Oh, by the way, the JN1 ultra wide angle lens module of Blue Factory is obviously different from that of Green Factory. Except for the difference in barrel distortion (the central object of Green Factory is larger), the ultra wide angle of Blue Factory has the functions of focusing and macro
IQOO 9 Pro ultra wide angle central magnification, left is the default 0.6 times, right is the 150 degree mode ↑
The left edge of iQOO 9 Pro super wide angle is enlarged. The left is 0.6 times the default, and the right is 150 degree mode ↑
Both iQOO 9 Pro Ultra Wide Angle modes have multi frame synthesis, and the picture quality is not different.
Ultra wide angle contrast 1 (pay attention to the difference between left and right visual fields)
Ultra wide angle contrast 1, central magnification (pay attention to the size of the ship)
Ultra wide angle contrast 1, left edge enlarged
Ultra wide angle contrast 2 (pay attention to the size of the scene)
Ultra wide angle contrast 2, central amplification
Ultra wide angle contrast 3
Ultra wide angle contrast 3, central amplification (iQOO 8 Pro's algorithm is a hindrance, while the two JN1s on the right can visually see the difference between the algorithms)
Although they are all 150 degree JN1 ultra wide angle, because of different lens schemes, the field of vision loss before and after iQOO 9 Pro distortion correction is also smaller than that of the real GT2 Pro and One Plus 10 Pro. The green plant plan is to protect the center. After equal magnification, the scenery in the central area is larger and the discrimination is better.
Although the IMX598 ultra wide angle specification of the iQOO 8 Pro wins a lot, it has a larger field of vision. With the smearing algorithm, the details of the picture are difficult. The disadvantages of JN1's small bottom are also obvious. The dark light scene will trigger the night scene algorithm, sacrificing the photographing experience and capture performance, and relying on the slower shutter and stack to win the IMX598.
Harm, Whether it's vivo OPPO， It's Xiaomi. 1/2 inch big bottom super wide angle (IMX586/IMX598) seems to be incompatible with super wide angle eight characters, but it's all wrong after all 。

Compared with the previous generation of main camera, the most obvious improvement of iQOO 9 Pro is actually the imaging speed. The iQOO 8 Pro's shutter response is slow, and there will be "stiff shutter" after continuous shooting. The shooting experience of iQOO 9 Pro is even better than that of X70 Pro+.
In terms of imaging, iQOO 9 Pro, with its more stable and powerful multi frame synthesis algorithm, although its analytical power is general, its performance of highlights and dark details under light/weak light is obviously the strongest among the three sets. As for white balance, which is also the way of X70 Pro+, it is not intended to be close to the truth itself, and pleasing the eyes is the first priority.
Ultra wide angle hardware is weaker, but the algorithm and experience are improved. Of the three, if I really want to choose a daily camera, I will not hesitate to vote for iQOO 9 Pro.
summary
As we all know, the plain leather version has poor heat dissipation, so gamers suggest choosing the legendary version of AG glass. But even so, I still like the undisguised orange, "like a firefly in the dark, so bright and outstanding". I felt I was afraid before using it, but I took it, It turns out that he is social bully , always want to buckle the phone on the desktop, passers-by will always come to take a look at this angry phone.
Vivo's second generation LTPO is very special and has certain effects. In addition to larger batteries and extremely conservative SoC scheduling, its endurance is improved immediately. The iQOO 9 Pro is the first 2K screen flagship to stand up for endurance. The color accuracy of the screen is still top, but the micro lens of the E5 screen does have a certain impact on the viewing angle. In terms of photographing, although the ultra wide-angle hardware becomes weaker, and the gap between CMOS devices can be seen in weak light, the overall experience and effect are better in most cases. The main problem with the iQOO 9 Pro is that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the scheduling are really conservative. I hope that the OTA will be loosened in the future.
