Pros

Cons

The hole-punch AMOLED display is one of the best in the class and provides a great viewing experience under all lighting conditions. Combination of the Snapdragon 865, UFS 3.1, and LPDDR5 RAM make the iQOO 3 one of the fastest phones out there Great daylight camera performance across primary, telephoto, and wide-angle sensors Monster Buttons are a boon for serious gamers Charging speed is just mind-blowing, to say the least

Lack of a high refresh rate panel on a flagship at this point is a grave mistake Aggressive post-processing in the camera often ends up hurting fine details in daylight images Low-light performance and Night mode need serious improvements The software experience can feel a little overwhelming at times due to excessive customizations and gimmicky features

iQOO 3 Performance-

When it comes to raw hardware power, the iQOO 3 flexes its muscles with the beefiest of innards, featuring the top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC, blazing-fast LPDDR5 RAM, and speedy UFS 3.1 flash storage, the first phone to feature it. With hardware this powerful, there’s no doubt the phone is among the fastest out there. In my first impressions, I noted that the device felt extremely quick and fluid in general use, and over the course of this review period, that impression hasn’t changed.

Battery and Charging Speed-

The iQOO 3 is powered by a 4,400mAh battery, a modest package by today’s standard. But as we will soon see, when you’re getting a ridiculously fast charger, the actual capacity is not a big concern. The 55W SuperFlash charger comes inside the box and the company claims it can charge the battery from 0 to 50% in 15 minutes and to a good extent, the claim does hold.

The device takes roughly 16-18 minutes to go from empty to 50%, which is very close to their impressive claim.

The device takes roughly 16-18 minutes to go from empty to 50%, which is very close to their impressive claim. From there, it’s a 16-minute journey to reach 85%. Effectively, you can expect to reach 80% charge on a dead phone within a half-hour of being plugged in, which is great. After this point, we see charging speeds significantly slowing down as the trickling kicks in and charging current lowers, taking a further 19 minutes to reach a full 100%. The total time, thus, is around 50 to 53 minutes which may not sound that impressive as it’s only marginally better than the OnePlus 7T’s Warp Charge which takes about 1 hour. However, we’ll be missing the point if we focused solely on the full charging time. The real strength of the SuperFlash charger lies in the quick top-ups, and if we remove the final 20 minutes from the equation, 85% in roughly half an hour is still crazy fast. Not many devices on the market right now  — flagships included — can even come close to this.

The battery backup, on the other hand, has been fairly ordinary. My usage mostly consisted of browsing Google Chrome, streaming music on Spotify in the background and listening to podcasts on the phone speaker, surfing Reddit, using social media apps like Instagram, Twitter, and WhatsApp as well as taking a lot of photos, playing YouTube videos, and making a couple of phone calls. With these usage patterns, I was able to get through a full day without needing to charge with the average screen on time clocking in at around 5 to 5.5 hours — good but certainly not the best.

Software Experience

Note: Our unit was running software version PD195F_EX_A_1.12.16 with January 2020 security patch level. We received no software updates during the period of review.

The iQOO 3 runs a modified version of Vivo’s Funtouch OS called iQOO UI with Android 10 on top. From the first boot, it’s noticeable that iQOO has put effort into removing the iOS look from Funtouch OS. The result is that the software feels closer to Google’s Android.

Instead of the iOS-style Control Center at the bottom, iQOO UI has a proper notification shade with a card-style layout. The default launcher gives the option to arrange your apps inside an app drawer which you’ll not find on Funtouch OS. And lastly, the icons have also been reworked so as to not look like a straight iOS rip-off.
