Dont know much about this specific phone yet but I've been rocking with my IQOO 12 for months now and here's my take on the downsides of this "brand" so far. (Everything I didn't mention means its good, great or simply perfect) 1. Lack of features - like most recent phones with their gimmicky features and AI capabilities etc...IQOO doesn't offer much features for us to play around. So you should expect an absolutely normal and simple phone experience. 2. Outdated UI - the software experience and stability overall is somewhat great and complete but in term of UI design, it looks like the phone is still in Android 10 era. 3. Boring customization option - the phone does offer a lot of customization options but most of them are simply bad, outdated-looking and too impractical. Other than these, the phone should be great.
This is considered a medium variant for Z9 series (it comes with a lower spec soc, lower ram & storage speed etc). The highest spec is under the Z9 Turbo but i think it's not carry in by either Vivo/Iqoo official. Btw, do you know what sort of protection they've used on the glass panel?
Z9 Turbo hasn't released in MY yet. Only the export sets from China running OriginOS 4 are available through 3rd party sellers. I'd actually buy the Z9 Turbo if they released it locally with global ROM.
This is the global version, in the video is the China ROM version which basically has no Google. But either you or the store could install Google services
Origin OS is the Chinese ROM so you must have gotten the grey import unit and not the global version officially launched elsewhere. This model that he is talking about has just been officially launched in Malaysia.
@@angcheongsoo1125well..not all people wanted full function camera features on a smartphone..maybe they are either not a camera geek or already owned an expensive camera themselves..

Chipset and specs..
How many years of OS updates?thanks
Hi Lim, how about the software support for Z9 Turbo?
Thank for the review having my eyes on phones. Came to this seem promising. What is the Netflix playback spec?
Bro 8gb is enough if its for gaming as game booster apps will kill background apps unless game booster default is changed
