Worth every penny 🤯🥳
Product was good, the front camera is only 16mp, they can give that a 32mp instead of 16mp, that is the only drawback i found on this device, overall performance is good, design is amazing, gives a very good in hand feel, charging is amazingly fast, gaming is excellent, fingerprint reader is fast, camera is good, i loved the video stabilisation and the 8k 30fps video resolution, and the size of the phone is comparatively slight bigger but thats not a problem, and the durability is also good, but the company needed to give the ip69 rating, overall good device and the fastest of all…..

Long term review
It’s been 5m since I bought this phone had a great experience, switched from iqoo neo 6 and this upgrade is worth it if you want best performance and overall good camera, the photos are really good as it’s vivo’s sub brand so the image pipeline is really good just vibrant on some occasions but you will not be disappointed. And the video quality is the one which surprised me the most it’s actually really not iPhone level but up there, really good video zoom just use pro mode if you want to pull out the most details keep it around 500 ISO AND EVERYTHING AUTO, video in night auto mode is good but it does have some grains in it. Battery life if good if you play bgmi, you will probably get 6 hours I play with smooth 90fps and 4x anti aliasing and don’t use frame interpolation there is slight delay in gyro but does make it smoother but not recommended. Battery is good few games and camera ussage will probably get you 6+ hours and light usage will get 8 hours +. Charging takes 35 min to full charge. I haven’t updated my phone since July, if you’re in July patch then don’t update that’s the best update I’ve had and tested for performance and camera quality and would not recommend updating your phone as all other companies it might slow down if you want to update then look it up first then decide if you want update the software but wouldn’t recommend only if the banking or other apps need the latest firmware the you need to update or you can go to the service centre and ask them to downgrade. ( I hope vivo and iqoo bring custom rom support because that would be great to have like poco and oneplus ).Pros* Good camera for the price could be bit better in video.* One of the best gaming phones does heat up but in a controlled way and cools down pretty fast.* Really Fast charging speed ( does heat a bit nothing to bother or just open settings – battery – charging and disable fast charging it will slightly slow down charging speed but it will decrease phone’s surface temp ).* Good display very bright overall really goodscreen.* Very good after sale service ( disclaimer had experience with previous phone iqoo Neo 6 regarding screen replacement bit pricey but really good experience and very fast.Cons* Mediocre Selfie camera my old IQoo Neo 6 had better selfie’s than this paid 55k for a phone and no 4k Selfie video front is the biggest downside of this phone.* UI is good very reliable but not as good as other Android Skins ( Just updated to android 15 did make a way better and smoother but could be better).* And audio transmitter has kinda bad the output is not upto to the mark with bluetooh specifically had same problem with my Neo 6 my poco f1 had really good audio Dec on board than this two new phones.Overall – 4.4/5This is rating is based on my experience, and also to point out I’m very heavy user, so the fact that it is able to keep up with demands is actually very commendable, And a brief disclaimer I am a long term iqoo user been using iqoo brand since 2022 but overall the phone is really good and has impressed me. That’s the reason I’m taking my time and giving a review here.Quick updateAnd BTW regarding updating your phone I still stand by NOT UPDATING YOUR PHONE, but I have updated to android 15 I did reasearch thoroughly and decided update because there were a lot improvement and I don’t plan on updating after this update ( So the phone is on android 15 Nov security patch ).

Beast in this price segment
Cons:1. Lack of premium sound quality. It’s just a sound amplifier and doesn’t feel soothing/pleasant when hearing on a full volume with any music. But the sound is really very high and loud.2. Personally I was using stock Android experience phone before (Nokia 7 plus), but in this phone, Software doesn’t feel or give you stock android feel.3. 360 degree videos which was recorded other google nexus phone does not play good in this. It will play but gives lot of black spots (I think its because of its high display resolution). Basically this should be address via a software.4. Charging via 120 w charger makes phone more heat. But via other lower watts charging does it’s good job.5. A person who hailed from stock Android experience feels lots of bloatware apps though many people in different channels said that almost no bloatware. I personally uninstalled many bloatware apps using universal bloatware removal tool but some you can’t uninstall at all.6. No memory card slot or 3.5mm headphone jack7. USB C-type 2.0 – means slow transfer speeds for data transfer via cable.Pros:1. Very very fast and quick in anything or any activity or any operation.2. Looks good, feels solid, good and decent in hand.3. I am not a gamer. But I promise that whoever who plays the heavy to heavy game in this phone are not disappointed.4. Camera is awesome 4.5/55. 28mins to 30 mins to charge 5000mah battery in full. Tested too. 4.5/56. Display quality is super in day light. 4/57. Lot of customization can be done in settings. (which I personally don’t like)
