Back in March, the iQOO Z9 was launched in the Indian market with a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset and a 120Hz AMOLED display. Today, the brand launched its upgraded version, the iQOO Z9s, in the Indian market. The phone brings some big upgrades, both in the design and the specifications. The starting price, however, remains unchanged.
Design-wise, the iQOO Z9s features a curved display on the front, versus a flat panel on the Z9. The camera module design is also different, and the phone has a ring LED flash on the back. iQOO says this is the slimmest phone with a curved display in its price segment at 7.49mm. The body is made of plastic, and the phone features an IP64 certification.
Under the hood, the iQOO Z9s has the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset. This SOC is built on the 4nm process and has an octa-core CPU clocked at up to 2.5GHz. On the AnTuTu benchmark, this chipset scores almost 700,000 points. The RAM is LPDDR4X, and there is UFS 2.2 storage.
The battery is 5,500mAh which is impressive considering the thickness and the 180/182 gram weight of the device. The phone supports 44W fast charging.
On the front, there is a 6.7-inch 120Hz Full-HD+ curved 10-bit AMOLED display with 1800 nits peak brightness and 2160Hz PWM dimming. The phone has Wet Touch technology as well.
