Hi I purchaged iqoo z9s on 3rd Oct 2024 from amazon. This phone had best review under 20k segment and had slim and lightweight design despite having huge battery of 5500 mah. 


Pros for which i purchaged it-

1) Best battery life of approx 10H(in normal usage) as reported by many youtubers in their live battery drain tests without compromising on slimness and lightweight nature of phone. 

2) Best primary camera in the segment with good low light images and stable videos.

3) A good midrange processor from dimensity.

4) A good amoled 120Hz panel with HDR support.

5) 5g nework work flawlessly.


Cons/issue which i noticed--

1) The haptics are very basic, Ghur Ghur type haptics. 

2) Stereo speaker are not that much loud like in realme or moto. No dolby atmos.

3) photos sometimes have yellowish tint. 

4) colours of images are not accurate in indoor light.

5) Exposure getting locked without locking it while shooting videos.

6) Idle  RAM usage in this phone is very high.

7) Biggest issue is after I updated to OCT security patch from test version section of System update section the battery draining issue has come up and now CPU is consuming very high percentage of power even more than display. CPU power usage has gone upto 50 percent when i checked in system battery usage section.
