1. Bhargav Sharma (@100248 UID - 100248)

My name is Bhargav. I am a guitarist, music producer, and engineer, born and brought up in Guwahati, Assam, and currently based in Bangalore. In my 12 years of playing guitar, I have been a part of prolific bands such as Raaga from Bhubaneswar and Pineapple Express from Bangalore. Now I make music under my own solo project called Toxic Teddy, where I assume the role of "chief mad scientist," bringing mad music projects and unique musical concepts to life through collaborations and audience interactions. I am always on the lookout for where I can capture the most perfect frame when it comes to my videos, and my iQOO 9 Pro has more than outdone itself in this regard. The gimbal stabilisation and the amazing sensor quality combine to let me take super quick and sharp captures when I'm out travelling, as well as be the perfect portable companion, which lets me keep my primary and bulky camera gear at home. Also, the super fast charging speed ensures that I'm never left without juice when setting out on a day-long shoot. The cool aesthetics of the phone, for which I get complimented every once in a while, are just the icing on the cake! It's really nice to connect with folks from the community. I hope to share more with you soon!

Hello there! My name is Karun Kumar, and I am a founding member of the iQOO Forum community. I first heard about the iQOO brand from Vivo, which was primarily focused on the gaming segment, about three years ago. I was not interested at that time because it was a new brand and I was actually not much into gaming at that time. However, iQOO launched the iQOO 3 two years ago, with industry-leading specs at an affordable price. So I was a little curious about that. One fine day on iQOO's website, I saw the iQOO 3 add with a huge price drop for fans. I immediately purchased the mobile 256GB variant for only 21500. Then I used that mobile for one and a half years. It performed like a monster. I didn't notice any slowdowns or hang issues. I loved the gaming triggers, Hifi audioDAC, fast charging, and excellent build quality. Then after, I was referred to all Iqoo mobile phones by my friends and family. My iQOO 3 was given to my brother after two years. Now I've purchased another monster-iQOO 9 PRO. The 9 Pro is an exceptional device with cutting-edge technology such as a larger Ultra Sonic fingerprint scanner, a wonderful QHD display, 120 watt charging, excellent haptics, a good set of cameras, an 8-generation 1 processor, and regular monthly updates. It didn't feel like Iqoo was a gaming-focused brand. After using the iQOO 9 pro, I realised they are manufacturing proper, all-rounded flagship mobiles. As expected, I was totally satisfied with iQOO 9pro.

It's been more than a year since I've been associated with the brand name iQOO after I pre-ordered iQOO 7 on the first sale itself. Everyone knows about the gaming performance of the iQOO devices, but the camera performance, on the other hand, is a gift which is not hyped much, but the results are amazing and beat any other competitors in the same price range, as it's coming from the house of vivo. I've never regretted spending the money because it never disappoints me in any aspect, be it display, camera, performance, or, last but not least, updates; it was one of the first devices to receive the Android 12 stable update. there are a few aspects I would like to highlight which could have been better, like software glitches of Funtouch OS, a few advanced features of video like portrait video when it gives a separate depth lens on iQOO7, BGMI 90 fps support, external microphone support for audio recording, more control on screen colour in settings and a more stock like Android experience. Having said that, I would like to be associated with iQOO for a longer period of time as they are doing a great job and I can vouch that it's the next big thing in the smartphone industry.

Thanks again for sharing your stories; look forward to connecting with each one of you.

Happy Questing,
