iQOO Z9s 12GB RAM Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ashish Kumar]()
Verdict
The iQOO Z9s' battery life is one of its strongest aspects, helping it stand out in its price segment, and the phone also shines on the design and display front. Moreover, the handset's performance ranks second in its class, just behind its predecessor, the iQOO Z9. The cameras are decent but could have benefitted from some improvements to better compete with rivals. The software comes with standard two years of major software updates.
Pros
- Striking design
- Good display
- Excellent battery life
- Respectable performance
Cons
- Cameras could have been better
- Lots of pre-loaded apps
Design and display
+
The iQOO Z9s design comes across as a breath of fresh air. The pill-shaped module around the back, while somewhat reminiscent of the Vivo V40 series, distinguishes the device in its segment. This module is split into two oval sections: the upper, slightly raised black section houses the dual cameras, while the lower, flush section contains the Aura Light. The lower section seamlessly matches the phone's colour, and a matte finish between the two sections adds a touch of elegance. We reviewed the Onyx Green variant which looks pristine, though the phone's glossy plastic back attracts fingerprints and smudges. It is better to keep the phone wrapped in a case if you don't want to clean it every now and then. A transparent TPU case is provided in the box that also keeps the device from wobbling when lying flat on the surface.

The iQOO Z9s boasts the same 50MP Sony IMX882 OIS + 2MP dual camera setup and a 16MP selfie camera as its predecessor, which captured some remarkable images in daylight. But, does it stand out against the latest competitors such as Samsung Galaxy M35 and OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite? Let's find out.

Performance and software
+
The iQOO Z9s is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset. Given the naming convention, one might expect it to outperform the iQOO Z9's MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC. However, this is not the case, and the iQOO Z9s delivered a lower AnTuTu score compared to its predecessor. However, its 7,02,347 score is miles better than most of its competitors, including the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite and Samsung Galaxy M35 5G. It also performs well on Geekbench, with single-core and multi-core scores of 1,044 and 3,011 respectively. On the Burnout CPU Throttle test, the handset performed at a respectable 63.9 percent of its peak performance.

Battery and charging
+
The iQOO Z9s features an upgraded 5,500mAh battery as opposed to 5,000mAh on the regular Z9. This resulted in an enhanced backup in both synthetic benchmarks and our lab tests. The handset recorded 16 hours and 11 minutes on the PCMark battery test, which runs a series of tasks until the battery life drops to 20 percent from 100 percent. This is better than the competitors too.
