This year, on March 1st, iQOO, the sub-brand of Vivo, just released its first product, the iQOO mobile phone. Immediately, iQOO became a hot word among many fans because of its extremely fierce online momentum.

On July 2nd, iQOO’s second mobile phone iQOO Neo was released, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 was re-enabled. This strategy of “re-shipping the flagship chip of the previous generation” is extremely rare from the whole industry.

On August 22nd, iQOO held another press conference. This time it was harder than the previous two. After the press conference, the name of the “cheapest 5G mobile phone” has fallen under iQOO.

The three iQOO phones are not algebraic, and the first to third release is even less than half a year, so these three models use a lot of the same design elements, so reuse can guarantee It is possible to quickly complete these three mobile phones that look similar in the shortest time but have very different internals.

Familiar element design, the first two are brothers

So when a person who has never used an iQOO phone faces these three models, it is very likely that they will not know the order between the three models.And the configuration level, they are the same brothers of the same family, not the relationship between father and son, grandson, so the term “iQOO 2” is not used at present.

So, iQOO Pro, like you think, still uses the 6.41-inch, 2340×1080 resolution Samsung Super AMOELD drop screen.

Take the iQOO Pro and observe it. In fact, the overall feeling is very close to the previous two models. Although the mainstream design is still in general, the design differences in the details of the series are still preserved, for example, in the processing of the middle frame. Instead of using a rounded transition, it uses a slightly concave and flat approach.

Why do you want to be flat? In fact, this kind of processing has a very obvious metaphor in it. It is expected that the user will cross the phone and put the two fingers on the middle frame. As a result, the flat border can put down more functions and ensure the index finger of both hands. Touch.

More precisely, it’s all designed for the two pressure-sensitive buttons on the side, including the two pits to allow the fingers to position the pressure button faster. Although iQOO has not said that it is a kind of “game phone” that we define, it is also specially optimized for the game in the body design.

The color design power button has also been retained, which makes the entire side not so boring, but also makes the power button position more conspicuous. I have always been very pleased with the design of this small detail. Many mobile phones are more exquisite and beautiful than other designs. They are piled up in detail.

This iQOO Pro is more interesting in the design of the back texture than the previous two iQOOs. Unlike the previous Kevlar texture, the iQOO back texture is inspired by the headlights of the Le Man Rally. The point to be understood is the arrow that extends continuously inward on both sides. The texture is most obvious at both ends, and gradually disappears in the middle.

This design can reflect the sense of speed they say. On this point, the benevolent sees the wise, but I really want to prefer this texture over the iQOO Neo’s Kevlar texture.

Yes, there is still a protective film on the back of the iQOO Pro. On the one hand, it can effectively protect the back cover. On the other hand, it also tells us that there is still no oleophobic layer. However, according to the survey, it seems that users of iQOO prefer to have a protective film instead of an oleophobic layer.

The three color versions that this iQOO Pro brought together, the one I got is the “Sports Black” color, exceptThere are also two blue versions of Le Mans Blue and Phantom Blue, of which Le Mans Blue is bright blue and the Apparition Blue has a matte finish.

Before I mentioned a lot of things in the iQOO series, such as the use of water drop screens and mold design, but as the strongest family series, where is iQOO Pro “Pro”?

The first part of “Pro” is the battery. The battery of the iQOO series has not been small, but the iQOO Pro has created a record high with a 4500mAh high-capacity battery.

The role of large batteries is good or bad. The most direct nature is that the battery life has been further improved. On the other hand, the thickness of the iQOO Pro has reached 9.32mm, and the weight has soared to 217g (4G version 215g). In contrast, iQOO and iQOO Neo are both 9mm and 200g thick.

In addition to the thicker feel, the increase in weight is more obvious in the summer. In the summer, I usually wear loose shorts. The iQOO Pro’s pocket feel is obviously more powerful than those below 200g. .

Increased battery is on the one hand for the more “Pro” series flagship identity, on the other hand, considering the currentThe factors that consume a lot of power under the 5G network have to say that the support for 5G is not a sign or a baseband. The overall configuration considerations are likely to lead to the whole body.

The good news is that the 44W SUPER FlashCharge of the iQOO series is really fast, it can charge 50% of electricity in 17 minutes, and it can be fully charged in about 50 minutes. Even if it is full of flying, it can compress the charging time to one hour. There are still not many brands inside, let alone a large battery of 4500mAh.

The cheapest 5G phone, but the strongest iQOO

For iQOO Pro, 5G is indeed the most “Pro” point, and successfully pushed the price to a seemingly unbelievable price, which is very destructive, but despite the speed of 5G, it is away from the public. There is still a long way to go, iQOO Pro can only meet the early adopters’ needs.

In the early stage of 5G development, the most difficult thing is to track the coverage of 5G network in real time. The three major operators are better at Unicom. In the official app, you can see the 5G coverage map. From my actual test. It’s quite accurate to look at this map because the company and the place where it lives live in the cracks of the 5G network…

In fact, the current 5G mobile phone can only get a network speed of about 1000Mbps in the excellent signal position, and if you move at high speed, such as sitting in a taxi through a 5G coverage area such as Beijing’s international trade. When I went to Hujialou, the speed of multiple tests was around 300Mbps.

Of course, the biggest contribution of iQOO Pro in 5G is the hard factor of price. For the first time, the price of 5G mobile phone is below 4,000 yuan. This has no meaning of comparing the same price, because now this price is one. Taiwan alone.

As for the core configuration of iQOO Pro, I don’t need to talk about it anymore. Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ processor, maximum 12GB memory and maximum 256GB storage (but no 12GB+256GB version), also equipped with the most Fast UFS 3.0+F2FS file system, this configuration may not be faster now.

It is worth mentioning that vivo has picked up Hi-Fi’s “old line”, added an AK4377A independent audio decoder chip to iQOO Pro, and passed the Sony Hi-Res certification. It also has a 3.5mm interface. What is even more rare is that a custom headset is also included, and the L-shaped interface will not hinder the game.

According to the actual performance, iQOO Pro is indeed better than most mobile phones. After the Hi-Fi battle of mobile phones has died down, iQOO Pro is a rare mobile phone with high-quality music playback.

The good news outside of the hardware is that iQOO Pro has made some progress on the UI, and the Monster UI has been optimized for the icon and part of the operational logic. However, this progress is only the case. There are still a lot of areas for optimization in terms of user experience, such as sliding feel or floating, UI aesthetics and simplicity, and functional classification logic are still unclear.

I feel that vivo should be determined to push Funtouch OS to the top again. As a big brand with a domestic market share that has reached the second and pursues aesthetics, vivo can no longer compromise with most users who don’t care about this. Instead, you should set a higher standard of aesthetics and experience for yourself, so that the product and the entire brand will move toward higher levels as a whole.

Since the iQOO series has not taken photos as the mainstay, it has been optimized and upgraded in a step-by-step manner. iQOO PRo uses a popular three-camera solution, including the 48-megapixel Sony IMX582 master, and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sub-photo, and finally a depth-of-field lens for portrait blur.

As for the actual performance, we still look at the sample directly:

iQOO is still evolving at a high speed

The evolution of the iQOO brand is far faster than most people think. Within half a year, iQOO has almost concentrated all the top-end elements on one mobile phone. The configuration looks like the game mobile phone, and the ultra-high-end flagship 5G Network support, which has kept iQOO’s topic level high.

What’s interesting is that each of the three models of the iQOO series is actually a different direction and strategy. It starts with “Birth and Power” and balances the mainstream flagship and game phones. The second paragraph has played the “Tian Ji horse racing” strategy, using the “front sword to go to the current official”, the effect is equally good. In the third paragraph, it was again “full-speed evolution”, directly pushing the price of the 5G terminal from 5000 to 3800.

This kind of speedy advancement and clever strategy is actually the most terrible place in the iQOO series, but like the Jiuyin Zhenjing in the “Eternal Dragon Sword”, the iQOO Pro has become a master of the first line. The difference between the top masters is the polishing of every detail.

But this kind of realm can’t rely on speed. Every ultra-high-end flagship has gone through countless advances and details, and finally it will finally train a certain skill to the extreme. iQOO has the opportunity, the only problem is that iQOO wants it.
