CONS

  1. 60Hz Refresh Rate: Disappointing lack of a 90Hz or 120Hz display, common in 2020 flagships.
  2. No Stereo Speakers: Only a single, bottom-firing mono speaker, which can be blocked during gaming.
  3. No Optical Image Stabilization (OIS): Cameras lack OIS, leading to shaky, "passable" video recordings.
  4. Bulky and Heavy Design: The phone is relatively thick and heavy (214.5g), which may cause fatigue.
  5. Average Low-Light Camera: Night mode performance and low-light photos are underwhelming.
  6. Bloatware and Ads: The iQOO UI comes with pre-installed apps and excessive push notifications.
  7. No Official IP Rating: Lacks IP certification for water and dust resistance.
  8. No Wireless Charging: Lacks wireless charging capability common on other premium devices.
  9. Overheating Under Load: Tends to get warm after extended, intense gaming sessions.
  10. Saturated Ultra-wide Photos: The 13MP ultra-wide lens sometimes produces colors that are too vibrant.
