Design And Build Quality of IQOO 7 5G
The IQOO 7 has a polished finish and with the finely crafted polycarbonate back with round edges, this device feels premium in its hands.
This mid-range Android smartphone has a vertical rectangular-shaped camera design which also houses the IQOO branding.
The IQOO 7 weighs 196 grams and, thanks to its excellent weight distribution, the smartphone feels comfortable in the palm.
Talking about the device’s physical overview, it has power and volume buttons on the right side of the frame and the USB-C port is on the bottom section.
Sadly, there is no 3.5mm audio output therefore either you can use wireless earphones or else you can invest some money to purchase a converter (USB-C to audio jack).
Display
The IQOO 7 sports a 6.62-inch 120Hz AMOLED punch-hole display with a resolution of 1080×2400 pixels.
So, you might ask what’s new here? The panel of this device uses an intelligent display chip that upscales SDR content to HDR for better colours and contrast levels.
This is a 120Hz refresh rate display panel that is capable of delivering buttery smooth visuals and a gaming experience.
You can play every game in 60fps for sure, but you can boost the frame rates for an even much greater experience. Not just the refresh rate, but this display also has an impressive 300Hz touch sampling rate for precision touch feedback.
Being an OLED panel, the colours look gorgeous and the visuals appear sharp and clean, with no sort of pixelation whatsoever.
With a peak brightness of 1300nits, this display is a delight to use both indoors and outdoors.
Processor And Performance
The showrunner of IQOO 7 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 octa-core processor clocked at 3.2GHz, paired with 8GB RAM.
The performance of this smartphone is top of the line in this price segment. You can play any game and run multiple applications simultaneously, facing no lag or stutter.
Thanks to the liquid cool technology, this smartphone stays relatively cool even under intense usage.
Regarding storage, the IQOO 7 comes with super-fast 128GB UFS3.1 memory with no option to expand further.
The IQOO 7 comes pre-installed with the FunTouch OS 11.1 based on Android 11 OS. The user interface is the same as other Vivo phones and it runs flawlessly.
Camera
The IQOO 7 has a triple rear camera setup comprising a 48MP main lens, a 13MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP depth sensor.
The 48MP main camera comes with OIS support and the photos clicked from the primary sensor come out clear, crisp, and with ample details.
The dynamic range and details remain on par in the ultrawide sensor, however, a slight improvement is needed with colours in ultrawide.
The OIS will combine with the EIS to provide an ultra-stable mode in video recording, and the ultimate results will amaze you.
We thought that a 2MP depth sensor would fail in portrait photography, but the reality is different–the edge detection in portrait images is so accurate.
The 16MP selfie camera captures sharp selfie photos, but the contrast is a bit on a higher side. However, you can still share them in your Instagram story.
Battery Life
The IQOO 7 is powered by the 4400mAh lithium polymer battery that will provide backup for about a day with normal to heavy use.
On gaming, the battery backup can vary as a high refresh rate takes a significant toll on battery life.
The bundled 66W fast charger will juice up the battery levels from 0 to 100% in less than 45 minutes.
Verdict
The IQOO 7 is an all-in-one package. You can get the best-in-class performance, camera, and display for the price of around Rs.30,000.
This smartphone has almost all the features a user can ask for. Investing in this device will be worth every penny.
