The iQOO Z8 and Z8x on August 31 should be the last two LCD midrange computers in 2023.
The core upgrade is from Snapdragon 782G to Tianji 8200. There is still 5000mAh battery+120W fast charge, and the price is reduced by 100 yuan The iQOO Z8 debuted at 1599 yuan for version 8+256, 1799 yuan for version 12+256, and 1999 yuan for version 12+512.

Among the charging heads popularized in batches by the four "Huami OV" families, Blue Factory, a 120W GaN charging head with C-port, is the most abundant and environmentally friendly.
From vivo X Fold2 to iQOO Z series, it is used without discrimination.
The old friend V12060L0A0-CN, the blue removal factory's own 66W and 120W fast charging, compatible with 65W PD, official 6A C-port wire, can be directly used by laptops and friends.
One Plus Ace 2 Pro, iQOO Z8, Redmi K60 Premium ↑
All plastic body, frosted middle frame. The screen bracket is used by the Blue Factory to be perfect. It is naturally made on the LCD machine, and even a little delicate.
The width of the side frame is OK, but it is an LCD screen after all, and the chin is a bit sturdy. However, the visual width of the chin is inversely proportional to the belief in LCD. Here we recite: LCD will never be a slave!
In addition to the smooth camera trim block, which is easy to scratch, the middle frame is slightly higher than the back cover, resulting in a slight scratch at the bottom, and the appearance and feel are still slow.
This time, we most recommend the starry night green color matching, because the obsidian night black is also a blazing blang, which can not be considered as low-key.
Workmanship: After all, it's all plastic body, so the workmanship is average, so don't expect too much.
Side fingerprint: The performance is normal, the button is basically flush with the middle frame, and the best blind operation effect can be achieved after wearing the shell.
External release: The volume is high, the sound field is slightly inclined to the lower speaker, the sound quality is commendable, and the mainstream amplifier level is below 2000 yuan.
Vibration: The X-axis linear motor, which is perfectly normal, has a strength and tightness of 0809.
There are infrared, NFC and extremely advanced 3.5mm headphone ports.
Screen test: LCD is never slave!
Factory default standard mode, P3 color standard ↑
Professional mode sRGB color standard ↑
(In the screen test, the longer the brightness color bar, the better, and the shorter the color deviation color bar, the better)
The iQOO Z8 is still the 6.64 inch 120Hz central perforated seven speed LCD, 2388x1080, with peak brightness of 650 nits, contrast of 1500:1, and peak touch sampling rate of 240Hz. The actual default touch sampling rate still follows the ancestral training, 120Hz.
Color accuracy: The iQOO Z8 has color calibration piece by piece. Although it is still inferior to the Redmi Note 11T Pro+, which is also an LCD screen, the professional mode performance has refreshed the iQOO Z series record. For LCD, the performance is already very good.
The default color temperature is slightly cold, while the professional mode color temperature is slightly warm and slightly red. It is recommended to manually pull the color ring to offset it.
Brightness and contrast: There is excitation brightness, which is lower than iQOO Z7 and stronger than iQOO Z6, so we can't touch our hair. The contrast is slightly stronger than that of Redmi, but still lower than that of the previous generation.
Uniformity and large angle visibility: In manual full white, the center is 460 nits, the four corners are 442/429/430/432 nits, and the uniformity is average. Because it is LCD, the color deviation control is better at large angles, but the brightness attenuation is more obvious than OLED, and the highest brightness is tight in the sun.
Cold knowledge: 1080P LCD has higher precision than 1.5K OLED. Take the 6.64-inch 2388x1080 LCD iQOO Z8 as an example, its actual ppi is 395. The K60 premium version of the 6.67 inch 2712x1220 OLED screen is 446 ppi before the discount, and 364 ppi after the P row discount, surprise！
In fact, the iQOO Z8 screen was a normal high-end LCD in the LCD boom, but now it has a stronger color accuracy and excitation brightness.
Although LCD has been gradually abandoned by the times, the DC dimming that does not flash and the fineness that does not discount are true, Still have to shout: LCD will never be a slave! I just don't know how long I can shout.
Other objective tests: performance&heating&endurance&charging
CPU performance test (for each column, the longer the color bar, the stronger it is)
GPU performance test (for each column, the longer the color bar, the stronger it is)
Flash memory read/write performance (the longer the color bar is for each column, the stronger it is)
IQOO Z8 is Tianji 8200 equipped with 3002mm ² VC soaking plate, LPDDR5+UFS 3.1， The actual performance is normal.
(200 nit screen brightness, room temperature 29 ℃, double baking)
(room temperature 26 ℃, 200 nit screen brightness)
The maximum temperature of 3DMark toaster is 48 degrees. 3DMark Wild Life Ulimited and Extreme Ulimited are both 99.5% qualitative.
Although the peak energy efficiency is lower than Tianji 8100 due to the higher frequency, Tianji 8200 is still an environmentally friendly SoC.
In the same environment, after 20 minutes of Peace Elite HDR+limited frames+anti aliasing, the maximum temperature is 38.6 degrees, and the heat is uniform, with good temperature control performance.
(Endurance test: the test environment is 26 ℃ room temperature, 200 nit screen brightness, and the test power range is 30% to 80%. It includes 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 surf, a total of 2.5 hours)
The iQOO Z8's Tianji 8200+LCD screen+5000mAh battery has 78% of the remaining power, which is equal to the iQOO Neo7 SE, and the performance is medium to high. The high power consumption of Fage platform station B has recurred, which may be related to the recent adjustment of station B.
5000mAh battery+120W fast charge, peak value 101.3W.
(The charging test starts with a unified 1%. The longer the color bar in the same line, the faster the speed ↑)
It takes 27 minutes to fully charge, which is not as fierce as the previous generation. This is the normal level of this generation of 120W fast charging.
The compatibility of the fast charge is general. The handshake with other PD fast charge heads is 9V 3A 27W, but even 30% of the power is only 8.9V 1.3A 11.5W input.
Interestingly, the iQOO Z8 generation has added up to 7.5W reverse wired charging, which can be used for emergency charging of wireless headphones.

The core change of the iQOO Z8 camera is to replace the GW3, which has been used for a long time, with the OV64B, which is polished and shiny on the telephoto:
Front 1600W, 1 μ m, 1/3.1 ", F2.45
Main camera 6400W, OV64B, 1/2 ", 0.7 μ m, F1.79+OIS, equivalent 26mm, with 200W depth of field sub camera
Here we compare the one plus Ace 2 Pro of the IMX890 and the Redmi K60 Premium of the IMX800. Both of them take pictures of 5000W 1 μ m+OIS, and their specifications are one level higher than the iQOO Z8.

Main camera contrast 4, global and central amplification
Main camera contrast 5, global and central amplification
Main camera contrast 6, global and central amplification
Main camera contrast 7, global and central amplification
Main camera contrast 8, global and central amplification
The iQOO Z8 has a fast imaging speed in the daytime, the multi frame synthesis of light and dark scenes is very active, and the weak light shutter is obviously slow (it takes time to change the picture quality).
The imaging contrast is higher than that of the normal blue factory model, a little like vivo X90/X90s, which is not very interlaced. The white balance tends to be warm and yellow, and the overall metering is relatively accurate, which means that the weak light scene will occasionally become a "night vision device".
The film rate of "2x zoom" is low, the white balance is easy to drift, and the light is OK when the light is good, but scenes with slightly weaker light such as cloudy days or evening will be overtaken by 1/1.5 inch level opponents.
Although it is a 1/2-inch high pixel "small bottom", it is equivalent to 26mm (small field of vision, but better discrimination). With the algorithm of BlueWorks The iQOO Z8, which started at 1599 yuan, can compete with Ace 2 Pro, The price is to slow down.
summary
Compared with the previous generation, the iQOO Z8 screen (LCD is never slave!) The color level is better, but the brightness is lower. Other performance, endurance and charging are all stable.
Taking photos is the traditional advantage of Blue Factory. Even the OV64B with a "small bottom" is willing to give up the algorithm, and it doesn't lose much to fight with friends and businesses with 2 or 3000 yuan (at the cost of taking photos).
However, under the condition of canceling ultra wide angle, we still keep 200W tactical sub camera and make the camera into double rings, which is really unexpected after several reincarnations
The iQOO Z8 is the new LCD machine with the highest cost performance. It is better than the Redmi Note 12T Pro in taking photos and charging (although it lacks a tactical super wide angle). The difference of 100 yuan is worth spending.
If you only look at the LCD midrange computer, the most cost-effective version must be the 12+256 version of Redmi Note 11T Pro (September 5), but it is estimated that it will disappear after the goods are cleared.
It can be seen that the situation of LCD models is getting more and more serious. Last year, Tianji 8100/8000 series had a batch of models such as Redmi Note 11T Pro, Yijia Ace Racing Edition, OPPO K10, but this year there are only iQOO Z7 (Snapdragon 782G), Redmi Note 12T Pro and iQOO Z8, which only replaced chips, and other LCD midrange computers.
Finally, I can only cheat myself by shouting "LCD will never be a slave" again.
Shout and cherish, there may be no new LCD machine for us in the mid market next year
