Hi Questers 🤗 ✨ 

Going into this, I had very clear expectations :

• A durable & good-looking design

• Decent, reliable camera

• Smooth gaming (especially Free Fire & BGMI)

• 🌟 And most importantly… a battery that actually lasts

After 3 weeks of real usage - here’s the honest answer 👇

Did it live up to expectations?

Yes - and in some areas, it exceeded them💪.

Design & Build – solid and premium feel

The first thing I noticed :

• Matte finish - clean look, no fingerprints

• Metallic-style frame - adds a premium touch

Big device, but feels sturdy and well-built

On top of that :

• IP68 + IP69 rating

• Military-grade durability

👉 This is one of those phones you can use without constantly worrying about it.

Display – underrated highlight

• 6.76” FHD+ LCD

• 120Hz refresh rate

For binge watching :

• Sharp visuals

• Excellent viewing angles

• Good color tuning

iQOO has tuned this display really well - it’s perfect for long content sessions.

Performance & Gaming 🎮

This is where the phone really delivers.The The MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo is well-optimized, resulting in Free Fire MAX runs smoothly on almost all settings, and even during long sessions the gameplay stays stable and consistent.

Multiple Booyahs, consistent gameplay

No major frame drops in long sessions

BGMI:

Runs smoothly at balanced/nominal settings

👉 This is not just “good performance”

👉 This is well-optimized performance

Also features like:

• 4D vibration

• Bypass charging

Make long gaming sessions even better.

Battery – the biggest highlight 🔋

7200 Mah⚡ Honestly, this is the main reason to consider this phone.

Real usage :

• 2.5 hours photowalk 📸

• ~5 hours YouTube

• 3+ hours Free Fire MAX 🎮

👉 All this over 2 days

👉 Still had ~20% battery left

You’re easily getting:

• 10+ hours screen-on time

• 2 days usage (even for heavy users)

For medium/light users… this can stretch even more.

This is not normal battery performance --

👉 this is next-level endurance

⚡Charging

44W FlashCharge (in-box)

For a 7200mAh battery :

• Full charge ~1.5 hours

• Considering the battery size, that’s actually well balanced.

📸Camera – simple and reliable

• 50MP Sony main

• 32MP selfie

• 4K recording (front + rear)

Performance :

• Good in daylight

• Consistent results

• Reliable for daily usage

👉 Not flagship-level - but definitely good for this segment
