bad move by iQOO for not enabling circle to search for all variants except the 8GB variant , as this is not dependent on hardware (Like 4K video recording).

Now new in sidebar is the AI screen translation.

Under the Hood visual changes

Lot of visual changes have been done to enhance the looks , like screenshot attaed above the toggle switches have been redesigned.

Since Z9x used an LCD display and a side mount physical finger print ,the finger print animations also have been refreshed.

Overall the device has become snappy to use ,however battery life has taken a hit  and battery Health went down by 1% after the update.

my sincere thanks to @JStreetS who has taken his valuable time to help me publish this article.
