Is the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G worth buying at ₹27,990?

At ₹27,990 the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G is one to skip, scoring 2.9 out of 5 against other phones at this price. It is strongest on battery and weakest on value for money. That is the lowest we have recorded for it.

The ZuPick verdict

2.9out of 5
SkipBest at battery, weakest at value.

This is a balanced phone for media consumption and routine use, with a bright AMOLED display, dependable endurance and quick charging. Its below-average speed, 90Hz panel and weak value make it difficult to recommend against current alternatives.

Performance2.7
It reaches about 551,000 on AnTuTu, below what many phones at this price manage. The Snapdragon 778G handles daily tasks and moderate gaming, but 6 GB RAM and UFS 2.2 storage limit its competitiveness.
Camera3.0
The 64 MP main camera, f/1.79 aperture and 4K recording produce respectable daylight results. The 16 MP selfie camera is ordinary, while digital zoom causes distant subjects to lose detail.
Display3.1
AMOLED contrast, Full HD sharpness and 1300-nit peak brightness make the screen attractive and outdoor-friendly. The ordinary 90Hz refresh rate keeps it from feeling as fluid as many rivals.
Battery3.2
The 4700 mAh battery is smaller than many alternatives, but approximately 17 hours 16 minutes of tested use is dependable. Fast 66W charging further reduces downtime.
Value1.9
At ₹27,890, the starting 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage combination offers weak hardware per rupee. The bright display and quick charging do not fully compensate for the slower performance and 90Hz refresh rate.

Pros & cons

What’s good
Bright AMOLED panel

The 6.44-inch AMOLED screen delivers strong contrast and HDR10+ support. Peak brightness of 1300 nits keeps content readable outdoors.

Quick 66W charging

The 66W charging system reaches 50% in 18 minutes. Short top-ups provide enough power for several hours of regular use.

Dependable tested endurance

The 4700 mAh battery lasts about 17 hours 16 minutes in testing. That comfortably covers a typical day despite the modest capacity.

Useful camera flexibility

The 64 MP main camera is joined by an 8 MP ultra-wide for landscapes and group photos. It can also record sharper 4K video at 30 fps.

Comfortably lightweight design

At 180 grams, the phone is easier to hold for long sessions than many large-screen alternatives. Its relatively compact display also helps one-handed use.

What’s not
Performance trails newer rivals

It reaches about 551,000 on AnTuTu, which is below average at this price. UFS 2.2 storage also makes large installs and game loading slower than on UFS 3.x alternatives.

Only 90Hz scrolling

The 90Hz refresh rate feels smoother than 60Hz but falls behind the 120Hz screens common at this price. Fast scrolling and supported games look less fluid.

Poor value at price

₹27,890 is difficult to justify for a configuration starting with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. Several similarly priced phones offer faster hardware and more memory.

No NFC convenience

NFC-based tap-to-pay and quick accessory pairing are unsupported. That is a meaningful omission for buyers who regularly use contactless services.

So i use an IQOO Z6 pro 5g (12+8) 256 And it finally received Android 14 and the updated Android skins and stuff. Then I started noticing the changes are fine, not to my liking but it started bugging out my phone.

One of the major issue I had found was when clicking multiple burst photos, both camera & album app stopped responding.
