The ZuPick verdict

3.2out of 5
ConsiderBest at battery, weakest at performance.

This is a feature-rich option with a sharp display, exceptionally fast charging and useful camera hardware. Its weaker processing performance and limited zoom reach make comparison with newer alternatives essential.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.
Performance2.2
It scores about 1.0 million on AnTuTu, which trails many current alternatives around this price. The 8 GB configuration and UFS 3.1 storage remain responsive for everyday use, but demanding buyers can get substantially faster hardware.
Camera3.7
A 2.5x telephoto, 50 MP ultrawide and 8K video give the camera system strong versatility. Zoom reach stops short of the 3x and 5x options offered by stronger camera-focused rivals, while the 16 MP front camera is modest.
Display3.5
The curved AMOLED panel, very sharp 1440x3200 resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate produce an enjoyable viewing experience. Peak brightness of 1500 nits is adequate rather than class-leading.
Battery3.7
The 4700 mAh battery lasts about 13 hours and 39 minutes in testing, while 120 W charging sharply reduces downtime. Wireless charging gives it an important premium convenience.
Value3.1
At ₹49,999, the sharp display, 120 W charging, wireless charging and versatile cameras provide reasonable value. Slower performance than newer rivals prevents it from being a standout purchase.

Pros & cons

What’s good
Exceptionally Sharp Curved Display

The curved AMOLED display has a 1440x3200 resolution, making it sharper than the Full HD panels many rivals use. Its 120 Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling and animations smooth.

Very Fast Wired Charging

The 120 W charging system can fill the battery in about 20 minutes. Wireless and reverse wireless charging add flexibility that many alternatives still lack.

Versatile Rear Cameras

The combination of a 50 MP main camera, 50 MP ultrawide and 2.5x telephoto covers landscapes, portraits and everyday shots. Optical stabilisation helps produce steadier photos in low light.

High Resolution Video

Support for 8K recording gives videographers extra detail and cropping freedom. It is a meaningful advantage over phones limited to 4K recording.

What’s not
Performance Trails Newer Rivals

Its roughly 1.0 million AnTuTu result is below what many phones around this price now achieve. Demanding games and sustained workloads will run better on faster alternatives.

Limited Telephoto Reach

The 2.5x optical zoom is useful for portraits and nearby subjects, but rivals with 3x or 5x lenses offer more flexibility at events and while travelling.

Brightness Is Merely Adequate

Peak brightness of 1500 nits remains usable outdoors, but stronger competitors offer considerably brighter displays for direct sunlight.

Using a iqoo 9 pro for 3 years, decent on budget phones but funtouch OS cannot be tolerated on phones that cost 60K + Unless you plan to play games and care more about paper specs I would avoid Iqoo flaghips.

Its a value for money and funtouch OS is perfectly fine on cheaper phones. Its flagships that are not worth the money. Funtouch OS15 is terrible. no clue how people tolerate it on phones that cost 50-60K.
