iQOO Z1x review: 120Hz high refresh rate, smooth new mid-range experience

iQOO的手机一直以性价比著称，今年推出的Z系列更是性价比极高，该系列的最新产品iQOO Z1x起售价为1598元，创下5G手机价格新低，但更低的价格是不是就意味着更差的配置和体验呢？iQOO Z1x在哪些方面做了取舍？接下来我就为大家详细介绍一下这款新机。

iQOO Z1x configuration at a glance:

Processor: Snapdragon 765G

Screen: 6.57-inch LCD punch hole screen 2408x1080 pixel resolution

Storage: 8GB+256GB 

Rear camera: 48MP main camera + 2MP macro + 2MP blur

Front camera: 16 million selfie camera

Battery: 5000mAh, supports 33W wired charging

Price: 2298 yuan

Appearance: The extreme full screen is simple and stylish, and the 120Hz high refresh rate is the highlight

iQOO Z1x uses a 6.57-inch LCD full-screen with a screen resolution of 2408×1080, 98% sRGB color gamut coverage, support for DCI-P3 color gamut, a screen ratio of 20:9, and a screen-to-body ratio of up to 90.4%. This screen also uses the sunlight screen with LTM local color mapping technology, which can divide the displayed content into multiple areas. Each area dynamically adjusts the display area contrast according to the ambient light and the corresponding display content, and with the global eye protection function, the visual experience is more comfortable and healthier.

iQOO Z1x uses a 120Hz high refresh rate racing screen and a global adaptive refresh rate function, which can automatically identify whether the user is operating the phone, switch to high frame rate mode according to the actual needs of the application, and intelligently and dynamically switch the frame rate to reduce screen power consumption and achieve a balance between performance and power consumption.

The back of iQOO Z1x adopts a vertical triple-camera arrangement. The entire camera module is placed in the "matrix" in the upper left corner. The buttons are all on the right side of the phone, from top to bottom, the volume button and the power button. Due to cost reasons, iQOO Z1x uses an LCD screen and does not support screen fingerprint unlocking. It uses an integrated design of fingerprint recognition module and power button, retains the 3.5mm headphone jack, and has a body size of 164.20×76.50×9.06mm and a weight of 199.5g, making it relatively light and thin.

iQOO Z1x is available in three colors: Azure Blue, Aquatic White and Sharp Black. The one we got is the Sharp Black color. The black is deep and all-encompassing. The night sky is full of sparkling stars, turning the accumulated black coating into the sharp characteristic of iQOO Z1x. Under the light and shadow, it is very cool.

Photo: 48MP triple-camera algorithm is more mature and the image quality is good

iQOO Z1x uses a triple-camera combination of 48-megapixel main camera + 2-megapixel macro + 2-megapixel blur. It may be due to cost constraints and there is no wide-angle lens, but the main camera has been polished for a long time, the software algorithm is mature, and it supports backlight photography technology and super night scene algorithm. The final image quality is still very good. 

The iQOO Z1x has a 16-megapixel front-facing selfie camera, which provides three styles for users to choose from: classic, natural, and fresh, to meet the beauty needs of different users. It also supports the front-facing super night scene function. Through the powerful night scene algorithm, taking selfies at night is no longer a problem. When taking selfies, multiple photos are captured through long exposure and multi-frame synthesis. Even in insufficient light, clear and bright selfies can still be obtained.

iQOO Z1x supports the movie portrait function, which can highlight the protagonist when shooting and increase the playability of shooting. The video color retention function allows you to select people when shooting videos, and the people are in color, while other background colors become black and white. Video blur supports real-time blurring of shooting videos to produce a movie-like texture. The short video 2.0 function can shoot and edit ideal short videos more conveniently, and supports various special effects, allowing users to quickly shoot and make short videos and share them immediately after shooting.
