Unlike the neighbor who has been exploring for 3 years and finally set foot on the high-end road, the vivo X series has already firmly established itself as a high-end flagship with the help of the X80 generation. It may be because of this that vivo, which does not have too much burden, is also very reassuring. Decentralized a lot of housekeeping skills to the sub-brand iQOO, creating a configuration monster among the sub-brands.
Undoubtedly, most of iQOO’s competitors dominate the world with e-sports performance and cost-effectiveness, so there must be shortcomings in the overall configuration, but the strength of iQOO 11 Pro lies in that it is the flagship of e-sports, but it is also an all-rounder. flagship.
Compared with the sub-brands of other mobile phone manufacturers, iQOO is definitely the most comprehensive and competitive one in terms of configuration. iQOO 11 is already considered top-notch, not to mention the protagonist of this issue: iQOO 11 Pro.
This Review brings you the iQOO 11 Pro Isle of Man Special Edition 16GB+512GB version, and all the content of the article is based on this version.
Core configuration and performance
First of all, in terms of core configuration, Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is definitely indispensable. At this point in time, a mobile phone that is not equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is embarrassed to say that it is a flagship.
In addition, iQOO 11 Pro has completely eliminated the 128GB version. The storage of all versions starts from 256GG UFS 4.0, while the flash memory has three versions of 8GB/12GB/16GB LPDDR5X. At first glance, the starting 8GB is a bit eye-catching , but if you think about it carefully, 8GB of flash memory is completely enough for users with low background requirements, and the requirements for flash memory in game scenes are not so high.
In terms of performance, the Mobile Update score of iQOO 11 Pro has reached 1304538 points, which has a slight advantage compared with other top Android flagships equipped with this specification core configuration. It is worth mentioning that iQOO 11 Pro is also among many Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 flagship won the first place in the Android performance list in December.
In addition, the storage capacity score of iQOO 11 Pro is 124036, and the sequential read and write speeds are 3437.8MB/S and 2876.9MB/S respectively, which is a considerable improvement compared to the previous generation.
In terms of game testing, we selected the three most popular games, namely Yuanshen, Peace Elite and King of Glory, and the data capture software is kite 1.5.6.
(Test environment: room temperature 20°, no card inserted, WiFi network, frame rate priority off, GPU high quality, Monster mode)
The first is the half-hour game process of Yuanshen’s highest quality (all the highest except motion blur off).
(Route: Liyue – Jiangzhumoshan)
During half an hour of the game, iQOO 11 Pro can basically stabilize at around 60 frames, but in some scenes such as high-effects battles and scenes over terrain, there are stuttering phenomena, and the minimum frame rate is 34 frames. The overall game process is relatively stable. smooth.
Then there is the half-hour game test of Peace Elite. The picture in the game is set to smooth picture quality, 90 frame mode, and anti-aliasing is turned on.
Judging from the frame rate curve, the 90-frame Peace Elite has no pressure on iQOO 11 Pro at all. The whole frame rate curve is basically a straight line. The minimum frame rate is 79 frames, and the average frame rate is 89.73 frames, which can be regarded as full-frame operation. up.
The last is the national game King of Glory. The frame rate in the game is extremely high, the resolution is super high, and anti-aliasing is turned on.
Judging from the frame rate curve, the half-hour game process of Glory of Kings is relatively easy for iQOO 11 Pro, and the frame rate in the early stage is also extremely stable, but the frame rate is indeed unstable in the later team battles, and the minimum frame rate is 85 frames .
On the whole, the gaming performance of iQOO 11 Pro is quite good as an e-sports phone. It is considered the top level among Android flagships with the same core configuration, but it does not actually widen the gap. Considering the price of iQOO 11 Pro It’s still a bit of a pity.
Exterior
As a sub-brand of vivo, although the iQOO digital flagship series has been criticized for three generations a year and doll machines, it is still absolutely trustworthy in terms of appearance. After all, the aesthetics of Lanchang is definitely the top among domestic mobile phone manufacturers. Level.
The plain leather of the iQOO 11 Pro Isle of Man Special Edition is made of silicone leather, a material commonly used in car seats, yachts, high-end furniture, medical and other fields. It is environmentally friendly, anti-dirty, anti-aging, Flame retardant and other advantages, it feels hard and soft to the touch, very hard rubber.
The iQOO logo is located in the middle of the bottom of the phone, with the same green bright surface treatment, no color difference, with a low-key delicacy.
The upper left corner of the rear case of the fuselage is iQOO’s iconic cloud-level design, with three lenses, V2 chip display and strip flash in sequence.
Below the cloud steps on the top is the same green metal decoration, the upper right corner is an anti-flicker sensor, and the “ULTRA SENSING” character in the lower left corner is engraved with CNC precision precision carving technology on the matte metal surface. character.
In addition to the rear shell, the frame part under the metal frosting process is also full of high-end flagship feeling, and there is no extra modification.
The fuselage buttons are concentrated on the right side of the phone, and the button area is recessed.
In terms of button texture, the power button of iQOO 11 Pro is slightly looser than the volume button, and there is obvious left and right looseness under shaking, and the three buttons are all hard, and the force required to press is too high, but the button feedback is very crisp.
The screen parameters of iQOO 11 Pro are basically the same as those of iQOO 11. They are both 2K screens made of Samsung’s latest E6 material. They support a refresh rate of up to 144Hz and a screen resolution of 1440*3200. The screen quality is basically the strongest. The only regret It is because the PWM dimming rate is not high enough, but to be honest, it is more useful to turn on the light when playing with a mobile phone and increase the brightness of the screen than the so-called eye protection screen.
The hole-digging position is at the front of the screen, and a 16-megapixel front-facing lens is built in.
What attracts me the most is actually the wide-area ultrasonic 3D fingerprint unique to the high-end flagship of Blue Factory. The feeling of instant unlocking is really not too cool. There is no doubt that this is the best one among the Android screen fingerprint unlocking solutions.
Different from the rough design style of most similar products, iQOO 11 Pro continues the delicacy and elegance of blue factory mobile phones. This is definitely the only one among all gaming mobile phones. The other advantage of this design is that it is perfect. The iQOO 11 Pro Isle of Man Special Edition has a thickness of 9.1mm and a weight of 210.5g.
image
It seems a bit weird to talk about images on e-sports phones, but iQOO 11 Pro does have quite a luxurious image configuration for e-sports phones.
The main camera is a 50-megapixel Sony IMX866 VCS, f/1.75 large aperture, 23mm focal length, sensor size: 1/1.56”
Support OIS optical image stabilization and AF automatic focus.
This main camera may be a little weak in the image flagship, but it really has no rivals in the gaming mobile phone.
In addition, the fisheye super wide-angle is 50 million pixels Samsung JN1, f/2.27 large aperture, 15mm focal length, sensor size: 1/2.76″, 2x optical zoom lens is Samsung 3L6, f/2.46 large aperture, 50mm focal length , Sensor size: 1/3″, no make-up lens, each parameter is very powerful.
In terms of real shooting performance, the resolution of the iQOO 11 Pro’s main camera is very powerful. It can accurately restore colors and scenes while showing a good sense of hierarchy. Even complex bushes can accurately separate the subject.
In the case of autofocus, iQOO 11 Pro’s processing of the picture is too sharp, without proper blurring, which will reduce the presence of the subject of the picture.
In addition, when the focus of the main camera is manually placed in the distance, some distortion and blurring of the nearby scenes do appear.
The HDR of iQOO 11 Pro has a very good performance in backlit scenes. In the case that the human eye cannot accurately distinguish, the main camera sample still perfectly restores the true color of the leaves, and the complex branches with the sky as the background also have high clarity.
The fisheye ultra-wide angle of the secondary camera gives the camera part of iQOO 11 Pro more playability, and a lot of interesting photos can be taken with proper use of the camera’s characteristics.
Of course, this special mode does not pursue clarity, it is enough to be fun.
For the telephoto part, the 2x optical zoom of iQOO 11 Pro can actually meet most scenes, while the digital zoom supports up to 30x.
0.6X
1X
2X
5X
15X
30X
In fact, it can be seen from the samples that the 2x optical zoom of iQOO 11 Pro is powerful, and there is basically no loss of image quality. Even at 5x and 15x, the definition is still online. Of course, 30x is indeed a priority.
In addition to these, the night shots of iQOO 11 Pro are also amazing.
If there is no time watermark in the lower left corner, it may not be a problem to say that it is 5:00 pm. The simple sample cannot tell that this is the sky at 9:30, and there are even reflections of trees on the windows.
Of course, in terms of specific imaging, due to the lack of light, the clarity of the details of the picture is indeed average, and the smearing is a bit heavy, but after all, it is a night scene, and such performance is already very amazing.
With vivo imaging capabilities and the support of the V2 chip, iQOO 11 Pro is definitely the one with the best video performance among e-sports mobile phones, and it is not inferior to many conventional flagships.
battery life and fast charging
One thing about iQOO 11 Pro is definitely the first in the industry, and that is its 200W super flash charge, the strongest among flagship phones at present, with a 4700mAh (typical value) battery that can easily cure power anxiety. 50W wireless flash charging and 10W wireless reverse charging are also at the flagship level.
In the actual endurance test, we simulated 8 hours of high-intensity usage.
The test environment is room temperature 20º, no card, no background, WiFi network, high-performance mode, 100% brightness, and no other background.
After 8 hours of high-intensity use, the remaining power of iQOO 11 Pro is 12%, which is a normal endurance performance and can basically meet the needs of one charge a day.
In terms of fast charging, iQOO 11 Pro is still one of the fastest charging mobile phones at present. It can be charged from 5% to 60% in basically 5 minutes, and it only takes about 12 minutes to fully charge.
Summarize
From the perspective of simply evaluating a mobile phone, iQOO 11 Pro is not perfect, but it is definitely the most versatile e-sports mobile phone. From the screen to the appearance, to the image strength and the unique fast charging, it is absolutely exquisite. Elegant and very playable, and as the No. 1 Android performance list in December, there is nothing to criticize in terms of performance.
Bringing e-sports mobile phones into daily life, iQOO 11 Pro has indeed done it.
In fact, the iQOO digital series can be regarded as the fastest-growing mobile phone series in recent years, and even the starting price of 4999 can be accepted calmly. It has indeed left a good impression in the minds of consumers.
