1. Foreword: Roll up the fast-charging battery The iQOO series brings the largest capacity battery ever
With the completion of the popularization of fast charging technology, major mobile phone manufacturers have begun to turn their attention to the innovation of battery technology.
Halfway through 2024, the eruption of a large 6000mAh battery will be ushered in, and there is even news that the next generation of top flagships will also use large batteries.
All these advances are due to breakthroughs in battery materials. For example, the second-generation silicon-carbon anode material developed by vivo has significantly improved the energy density of the battery, which is 20% higher than the traditional graphite anode, and 16% higher than the extreme graphite anode. This not only enhances the battery life, but also enables faster charging.
Compared with a few years ago, the battery capacity was generally 3000~4000mAh, this progress can be described as rapid. Therefore, it is expected that the new models released in the second half of this year will focus on a combination of high-capacity batteries and fast charging to alleviate users' power anxiety.
At present, we have obtained this iQOO Z9 Turbo+, which is the first model with the largest battery capacity in the iQOO product line.
iQOO Z9 Turbo+在规格上,较Z9 Turbo,提升最明显的地方有2点:
1. The iQOO Z9 Turbo+ is equipped with an unprecedented 6400mAh large-capacity battery.
Although the battery capacity is 400mAh larger, the thickness has not changed, it is also 7.98mm, and the weight is only 1g heavier.
2. The chip has also been upgraded, using the most powerful Dimensity 9300+ at the moment, with the gaming chip Q1 to form a dual-core.
This combination is also iQOO's forte, which can bring players a more stable gaming experience and lower power consumption.
Next, let's take a look at how the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ performs in all aspects.
2. Appearance: The same as the previous generation, only 7.98mm thick, plugged into a 6400mAh battery
iQOO Z9 Turbo在外观与Z9 Turbo保持了一致,三维均为163.72×75.88×7.98mm,重量在196g。
The thickness is only 7.98mm, and the weight is only more than 1g heavier without thickening, and the battery is 6400mAh, which is 400mAh more than the previous generation.
The front uses a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, with a screen-to-body ratio of 93.4%, equipped with the same Huaxing Optoelectronics C8 light-emitting material, the maximum brightness can reach 4500nit, and it has a 144Hz refresh rate and 1.5K (2800×1260) resolution, 452 PPI specifications, and 2000Hz instantaneous sampling rate.
In terms of eye protection, LTPS technology is used, with 3840Hz ultra-high frequency eye protection, DC-like dimming, and has passed SGS low blue light and low flicker certification.
By eliminating the screen bracket, the bezel can be narrowed to 1.54mm.
The color we received is iQOO's first color Moon Shadow Titanium, which is to pay tribute to the spirit of lunar exploration, pursue the visual balance between light perception and concreteness, and use chip-level lithography machine technology to draw a delicate matte light and shadow effect.
The camera of iQOO Z9 Turbo+ adopts a dual camera combination of 50 million main camera + 8 million ultra-wide angle, and supports OIS optical image stabilization, which can ensure that when shooting, it can effectively reduce the problem of waste film caused by hand shake.

The overall performance of the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ has been released on a par with the performance of the performance flagship, which is very strong.
- Gaming testing
1. Glory of kings
In Honor of Kings, we changed the frame rate to very high, the resolution to ultra-high, and the total quality of the picture to the extreme.
During the 15 minutes of Honor of Kings gameplay, the iQOO Z9 Turbo+'s frame rate was very smooth, without much fluctuation, and it was as steady as a straight line, and finally gave an average score of 121.31 FPS.
The average power consumption during gaming is 2.93W, and the energy efficiency ratio is 40.96 FPS/W.
At this time, the highest temperature on the back of the iQOO Z9 Turbo is the area where the chip is located, which is only 39.4°C.
2. Genshin Impact
In Genshin Impact, we will select a preset image quality to extremely high, and then change the game frame rate to 60 frames per second.
During the test, in the main city of Fontaine, use characters such as Yelan and Sayu, who can move quickly, and run the map randomly for 15 minutes.
In this round of testing, we will test Genshin Impact in two modes: native image quality, superresolution + superframe, and check the average framerate, power, and temperature performance of iQOO Z9 Turbo+.
In native quality, Genshin Impact averaged 59.56 FPS in 15 minutes, consumed 5.1W of power, and consumed 11.68 FPS/W of frame power.
At this time, the maximum temperature of the iQOO Z9 Turbo chip is 44.6°C.
Next, let's test the image quality performance of turning on superresolution + superframe.
As you can see, the resolution of Genshin Impact is 1800×810 in the native image quality, and the game resolution is increased to 2800×1260 in line with the screen after the super-resolution function is turned on.
In the actual appearance, the details visible to the naked eye have been significantly improved, and the characters' faces, hair edges, and clothing details have been much refined.
After turning on superresolution + superframe, only half of the rendering is required, that is, 36 frames,
After the resolution is increased, the pressure on the GPU will naturally be greater, but with the gaming chip Q1, the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ can also be easily controlled, and the whole curve is very stable.
During the game, Genshin Impact averaged 35.81 frames per second and consumed 4.82W, which is about 0.3W lower than the default image quality.
After 15 minutes of gaming, check the back temperature of the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ through the infrared thermometer, the maximum temperature of the chip is 43°C, which is not hot to the touch, and is about 2°C lower than the default image quality.
Fourth, the image: 50 million Sony main camera, the blue factory flagship with the same NICE algorithm combined with daily shooting is very good
In terms of rear image specifications, the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ uses a 50 million Sony main camera and an 8 million ultra-wide-angle dual camera combination, of which the main camera supports OIS optical image stabilization.
iQOO Z9 Turbo+ has the same NICE algorithm as the flagship of the Blue Factory, which is based on computational optics and considers the imaging characteristics of the lens to do inverse operations and deblur. The ISP image algorithm is rewritten from the bottom up, and the noise reduction and detail enhancement process is AI, so that the mobile phone lens can also have the same high-definition image quality as a professional camera.
Whether it's day or night, the camera performance of the iQOO Z9 Turbo continues the same tuning style as the Blue Factory, which is very pleasing to the eye, and has a good look and feel even at night.
However, in an environment with insufficient light, it is more likely to cause film rejection when using more than 2x focal lengths, so it is recommended to use it according to the environment, or use 1x focal length to improve the probability of producing films.
5. Charging and battery life: The 6400mAh battery can provide 11.35 hours of battery life, and it takes 50 minutes to charge to full blood
The iQOO Z9 Turbo+ is equipped with a 6400mAh blue ocean battery, which benefits from the newly upgraded pole piece reshaping technology, which has a larger battery capacity while keeping the thickness of the whole device the same as the previous generation, which also makes the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ the model with the highest battery capacity in the iQOO family.
In terms of charging, iQOO Z9 Turbo+ supports 80W flash charging, 7.5W wired reverse charging, and it also supports third-party 55W PD&PPS protocol fast charging.
- Charging test
The iQOO Z9 Turbo+ was charged from 5% to 55% in 20 minutes, 80% in 35 minutes, and 50 minutes when it was fully charged.
- Endurance test
For battery life, we use a professional battery life test tool - a battery dog produced by Fast Technology for testing.
In terms of test items, we selected the ultimate battery life test, and checked all test items including CPU high voltage, CPU multi-threading, AI recognition, picture browsing, video playback, and web browsing, simulating user usage scenarios, restoring the real load to the greatest extent, and infinitely close to the real power consumption.
During the test, in order to keep the environmental variables tested on all models consistent and ensure the accuracy of the test results, the screen resolution was first changed to HD 1080p, the brightness was adjusted to 50%, and the auto-brightness was turned off, and the volume was adjusted to 30%.
From the full blood test to the remaining 20% of the battery, the battery dog gave the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ a battery life of 9 hours and 5 minutes.
In this translation, it can provide 11.35 hours of battery life when fully charged, which can easily cope with the needs of users for heavy use all day long.
6. Summary: A new generation of performance flagship that can have both performance and battery life at the same time
Although the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ only has a small "+" in its name than its predecessor, the upgrades it brings make it completely worthy of being regarded as the new generation flagship model of the Z9 series in terms of experience.
From a performance point of view, the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ is equipped with a Dimensity 9300+ processor, a gaming chip Q1, and a 6K-level powerful VC liquid cooling system, which allowed it to achieve a high score of 2.19 million in the Antutu running score test, which has steadily entered the first echelon of flagship models.
The addition of the e-sports chip Q1 can realize the super-resolution and super-frame concurrency technology, enriching the playability of gamers. In the actual test of Genshin Impact, Super Frame Technology can increase the game's frame rate to 72 frames per second with only 36 fps, significantly reducing the burden on the GPU. At the same time, the PC-level 1.5K super-resolution function is turned on, and the temperature is only 42.2°C, which is 3°C lower than the original image quality, providing players with an excellent gaming experience.
