iQOO Z9 Turbo+: A New Flagship in the Mid-Range Market, a "King of Value" in Performance and Battery Life

In the heated competition of the 2024 smartphone market, manufacturers are vying for the last remaining market share. On September 24th, iQOO officially launched its new model - iQOO Z9 Turbo+, a phone targeting the mid-range market. This device quickly caught users' attention with its extreme performance configuration and super strong battery life.

Flagship Performance, All In One

This year, performance has become the hottest keyword in the mid-range smartphone market. iQOO Z9 Turbo+ directly transplants the top chip, Dimensity 9300+, from its flagship vivo X100S series into this phone priced at around ~$300. Combined with its self-developed Q1 gaming chip, this configuration is truly "unfair."

The Dimensity 9300+ is typically found on flagship phones priced at ~$700-800. iQOO has brought it down to the ~$300 segment, instantly creating a significant gap with competitors. This chip not only sits at the top of the Android camp in terms of benchmarks but also boasts extremely powerful everyday and gaming performance. It's essentially a performance beast in the mid-range segment. Official data shows iQOO Z9 Turbo+ achieving an Antutu score of 2387855, with its energy efficiency ranking first among all flagship platforms. In the latest "benchmark game" "Black Myth: Wukong," iQOO Z9 Turbo+ achieved a remarkable score of 58.5 frames and 6.5W, surpassing other brands' products on the same platform.

6400mAh Blue Sea Battery, Worry-Free Battery Life

Battery life has always been iQOO's forte. iQOO Z9 Turbo+ comes equipped with a 6400mAh Blue Sea battery, with a capacity large enough to support a day of heavy use. At the same time, iQOO ingeniously controlled the battery size, keeping the body thickness at a slim 7.98mm and the weight at 196g, ensuring a comfortable and lightweight feel in hand. Compared to the previous generation Z9 Turbo, the battery capacity has increased by 400mAh, but the thickness remains unchanged, with a weight increase of only 1g. iQOO showcases its strong technological capabilities in balancing thinness and battery life.

Huaxing C8+ Luminous Material, Eye Protection Upgrade

iQOO Z9 Turbo+ uses a screen employing Huaxing C8+ luminous material, maintaining a resolution of 1.5K, a refresh rate of 144Hz, and supporting full-brightness DC dimming, effectively mitigating screen flicker and providing a more comfortable visual experience for users.

More Than Just Gaming, Creating an All-Rounder

Although performance and gaming are iQOO's DNA, in everyday life, gaming entertainment only occupies a portion of our time. iQOO Z9 Turbo+ adopts a dual-camera approach for photography, with a 50MP LYT-600 main camera supporting OIS optical image stabilization and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera. Thanks to Vivo's NICE algorithm, iQOO Z9 Turbo+ performs quite well in everyday photography, night scenes, and other scenarios.

Flagship Configuration, One-Stop Shop

iQOO Z9 Turbo+ supports Wi-Fi 7, 5.5G networks, and dual-frequency GPS four-frequency Beidou satellite positioning. In terms of communication configuration, iQOO brings flagship-level configuration down to the mid-range iQOO Z9 Turbo+.

Lunar Titanium Color Scheme, Upgraded Texture

iQOO Z9 Turbo+ introduces the Lunar Titanium color scheme that blends a metallic and glass aesthetic, complementing the slim body and exuding the unique charm of a flagship phone.

Perfect Balance of Performance and Battery Life

iQOO Z9 Turbo+'s product strategy is very clear: invest resources in performance and battery life, sacrificing some less critical peripheral configurations, like plastic frames and basic short-focus fingerprint unlocking. However, this strategy has made it stand out in the mid-range market.

Exceptional Value, King of Performance

iQOO Z9 Turbo+ comes in various memory configurations with very competitive prices:

• 12GB+256GB: ~$310

• 16GB+256GB: ~$350

• 12GB+512GB: ~$370

• 16GB+512GB: ~$410

Considering its price point, iQOO Z9 Turbo+ is undoubtedly a "value-for-money" performance phone in the mid-range. With the combination of Dimensity 9300+ and the self-developed Q1 gaming chip, a massive 6400mAh battery, and a 144Hz high-refresh-rate screen, it has almost no rivals in the ~$300 price segment. If you're a heavy phone user or a gamer seeking high performance and long battery life, then iQOO Z9 Turbo+ will be an ideal choice.
