I purchased my iQOO Z7 5G on 29th March 2023 with my first salary. It was launched just one month before I bought it.

iQOO provided good optimization and timely updates during the first year. However, after the second year, they seem to have neglected this device and are now focused only on launching new phones. Updates are no longer timely, and the device is facing lag issues even with minimal gaming.

The security patch is still stuck on May 2025, even now in 2026. So, I have decided to switch to Pixel or Samsung, as I am an Android phone fanboy.

Guys, I will never buy a Chinese phone again.

Please suggest a non-Chinese phone under ₹40,000. I am thinking of buying the Pixel 9a.

Goodbye.

Thank you, iQOO team, for the amazing service… 🙂
