Overall Good mobile at these price

After using this mobile for 1.5 years, here’s my honest review:Overall, the mobile is very good. The sound quality, camera performance, and noise reduction features are impressive. However, this device is not suitable for use in the USA (Atlanta) due to network compatibility issues.Although network signals appear, the device doesn’t support the correct network bands used in the USA. When I inserted a Lycamobile SIM card, the internet didn’t work—even though the phone supports 5G. Additionally, the time zone settings are inaccurate. The phone only supports China and London time zones, and doesn’t update correctly for the USA. I’m not sure if it even works properly in those two regions.In short, this Chinese mobile does not support the network bands required for the USA, which is very disappointing. I now have to purchase a new phone here due to this incompatibility.

Good product

"Upgraded to the iQOO Z7s 5G and it’s a total beast! 🔥The speed is incredible, the 5G connectivity is super fast, and the battery life just keeps going. Definitely the best value-for-money phone I've used recently. If you want performance on a budget, go for it! 🚀📱

I bought 6GB RAM & 128GB memory variant and this is my feedback after using for a week.I always love samsung phones but their cameras & exynos processor is this segment are their only minus. Thought of trying something different this time.As Family members are already using iQOO Z6 Pro, preferred iQOO Z7s after a long confusion of picking Oneplus Nord CE 3 Lite or iQOO Z7s and would say, its a better decision made. Guess, iQOO is now easily winning confidences from buyers in this segment.Pros:1. Light weight and evenly distributed.2. Comes with a pre-applied (very thin) glass protection and a clear TPU case.3. With 44W charger provided, 0-100% charge is happening in approx. 1 hour. 20-100% by roughly 50 mins.4. The design, especially the back. Though it is plastic, iQOO has given a very good glossy finish and especially how beautifully the back camera (s?) is placed. Go for Norway blue colour.5. Pictures taken in back camera (64MP+namesake depth sensor) are very good while selfie camera quality is above average for this segment.6. Display AMOLED with variable refreshing rates (30Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz or automatic based on usage) and in display fingerprint sensor is great and works very instantly.7. SPECS offered and their price is very good compared to other brands.8. Call quality is amazing with dual mics.9. 3.5 mm audio jack available while it is not available in Z6 pro and some other models.Cons:1. Only 6 5G bands (but should be fine with the bands operated by Jio & Airtel).2. Replacing Dimensity 920 with snapdragon 695 in the name of Z7s for same price is a scam 😡3. To reduce weight, they have given only 4500mAH battery. Moderate usage lasts 1.5 days, heavy usage (social medias) can last for a day. If you play games, consider charging again in evening. With flash charge, felt its not that bad.4. Slightly felt heating issues when used social media apps for too long.5. Single speaker at the bottom & quality is average.6. Main drawback is their OS - Funtouch. Lot of bloatwares & iQOO apps. Very annoying. Missed samsung a lot in this particular thing, Samsung experience used to feel very user friendly and secured. Not sure, will get that secured feel ever with funtouch OS. iQOO shall provide a stock android if they couldn't provide a good customized OS.If you are okay to live with Funtouch OS & a 4500mAH battery (using 5G & 4G networks drains battery quicker), this phone will never disappoint in any aspect.

The iQOO Z7S 5G impresses with its blend of performance and affordability. Sporting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor, it delivers snappy performance for daily tasks and gaming. The 6.62-inch AMOLED display offers vibrant colors and smooth visuals, ideal for multimedia consumption and gaming marathons.Equipped with a 5000mAh battery, the Z7S ensures long-lasting usage, while its 44W fast charging capability minimizes downtime. The triple camera setup, featuring a 64MP main sensor, captures detailed photos with decent color accuracy. However, low-light performance could be better.On the software front, the device runs on iQOO UI based on Android, offering a clean and intuitive user experience. While lacking some bells and whistles of more established UIs, it remains fluid and responsive.Design-wise, the Z7S boasts a sleek and modern aesthetic, although it may not stand out in a crowded market. Its plastic build might feel less premium than glass or metal alternatives but contributes to a lighter overall weight.Overall, the iQOO Z7S 5G offers solid performance, excellent battery life, and a decent camera setup, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a capable mid-range smartphone without breaking the bank.
