Iqoo 7 hands-on experience: it has become thicker, but also stronger
May 11th, 2022

Iqoo, as a sub brand of vivo, has launched more than ten models in less than two years. At the beginning of its establishment, the brand focused on “performance” and “game”, hoping to bring users different tonality from vivo mobile phones.

Iqoo 7 is the orthodox continuation of iqoo digital series

Now, iqoo 7, the orthodox sequel of iqoo digital series, has been officially released. What new improvements does it have? Can it bring new breakthroughs in game performance? Let’s take a look:

It’s the same design as vivo, but it’s too thick

The legendary version of iqoo 7 follows the design of X60 series ladder camera, and the lens system on the back is not prominent. But it is not a “ladder” design in the real sense. The gray part at the bottom has become a symbolic decoration. This decoration is actually beneficial. It will make the camera module biased towards the top of the mobile phone look more coordinated.

The back of the mobile phone is made of frosted glass, and the speed aesthetics of iqoo 5 pro and BMW are taken over. The whole back feels very comfortable.

Do you think the front frame of iqoo 7 is wide?

After the front 6.62 inch screen is lit, the first feeling is that the frame is wide. But in fact, it seems a little narrower to take out the iPhone 12 pro. The reason for the first impression that the frame is wide is that Android phones use too many curved screens this year, so that they are used to watching the curved screen. If you look at the straight screen, you will feel “Wow, so wide!”

The top camera is placed in the middle. If you look carefully, you will find that a different lens packaging process is adopted this time. In fact, this process has been used in the previous series of mobile phones with vivo’s main selfie, which can make the lens aperture smaller.

A system egg: a new function made by originos for iqoo, which can quickly open the high-performance mode and change the screen refresh rate. There is also a new set of behavioral wallpaper with a more cool style.

As an orthodox continuation of iqoo digital series, iqoo 7 has many design highlights. Next, let’s talk about the “but”. The first feeling is that the mobile phone is really thick. In fact, from the perspective of parameters, the thickness of 8.7mm is still in the past. I think there are two reasons why I think it is thick.

Iqoo 7 is a straight screen

First, I’ve seen too many curved screen mobile phones this year. The curved screen will naturally create a thin hand feeling. In contrast, the straight screen is more friendly to the game and more in line with the positioning of the standard model of iqoo digital series. It is the so-called fish and bear’s paw can’t have both.

The second point is that iqoo leaves too many things to this mobile phone in terms of performance and game experience, so that its thickness cannot be reduced. That’s what I’m going to say next.

The heat dissipation is in place, and the Xiaolong 888 can hold it

At the beginning of the birth of iqoo series, performance has been put in the first place, and iqoo 7 is naturally not included. The iron triangle combination of Qualcomm Xiaolong 888, UFS 3.1 and lpddr5 makes its anrabbit running score as high as 720000, geekbench 5 single core running score 1116, mostly 3612 and equal to Xiaomi 11.

The advantage of iqoo 7 is heat dissipation. There is a layer of capillary structure inside the super large soaking plate, which is equivalent to a pipe. There is liquid circulation flow inside the pipe, which is often referred to as liquid cooling heat dissipation, but iqoo 7 uses a larger soaking plate instead of copper pipe. The measured iqoo 7 ran for 20 minutes with high image quality and 60 frames of “original God”, and the temperature reached more than 38 degrees. This temperature is really great compared with Xiaomi 11 and vivo X60 pro.

The frame rate of “glory of the king” and “peace elite” can be stable at 60 frames under high image quality. The original God has extremely high image quality and 60 frames. It can be said that it is relatively stable in the first 20 minutes, and the frame rate begins to fluctuate with the subsequent temperature. Even so, this level is better than Xiaomi 11 and vivo X60 Pro we tested before.

To say more, iqoo is still the official game machine appointed by KPL, and this love has not changed so far.

Performance must ultimately serve the game experience

Performance is one aspect, of course, more important is its game experience. Officially, it is the strongest horizontal screen flagship. I dare say it is the strongest. There are really a few brushes.

The first brush is the “shadowless handle” with dual pressure control under the monster touch screen. Its name is really long. It is an evolutionary version of the shoulder key, with an independent pressure recognition on the left and right sides of the screen.

There is an independent pressure sensor on both sides of the screen

The advantage of this is that I can replace the shoulder key by pressing the screen again. For example, when I eat chicken, I can press the left screen again to start the mirror, press the right screen again to start the grab, and complete the four finger operation with two fingers at one go. In the glory of the king, you can also quickly release skills through the mapping of double control pressure.

The second brush blows the vibration of a wave two-way linear motor. Two z-axis linear motors can feed back the source of damage and identify the position of the enemy; The shock when shooting is different for different species. This kind of seismic feedback must be addictive after use.

The third brush, three-dimensional double lifting and high dynamic hi fi. Shuangyang is particularly important for the game of hearing and identifying positions such as eating chicken. Iqoo 7 has strengthened the earpiece speaker this time, using super linear large amplitude 1210 speaker, which is matched with the speaker with independent sound cavity at the bottom to bring the effect of surround sound.

The last brush is the 120Hz high brush and diamond arranged screen. It has an instantaneous touch sampling rate of 1000Hz, a touch reporting rate of 300Hz, and a special touch optimization.

With these brushes, iqoo 7 is really refreshing to play games. But I also have a worry about whether a 4000 MAH battery can hold up. The measured power consumption for half an hour is 20%; Half an hour and
