73% iQOO Z7 5G Review: Does it justify the price?

The iQOO Z7 5G seems to offer decent value in terms of performance but the competition including the Moto G73 5G and Realme 10 Pro seem to offer a better overall value for the money, including in camera, battery, and processor departments.

80% iQoo Z7 5G Review: Best Smartphone Under Rs. 20,000?
Source: NDTV Gadgets English
The iQoo Z7 5G is a clear winner when it comes to delivering good performance under Rs. 20,000. The phone also checks the right boxes for those who consume a lot of content on their phones, and want an AMOLED display with good battery life and fast charging. The performance of the front and rear cameras are also quite good, however an ultra-wide camera is sorely missed. Where the iQoo Z7 5G falls short is in the audio department. The single speaker setup is nowhere close to what a dual-speaker setup can deliver. Software preferences are subjective, but if you are okay with Funtouch OS, then the iQoo Z7 5G can certainly be a great buy in this segment.

iQOO Z7 5G Review – Best Phone Under 20,000?
Source: Cashify English
iQOO Z7 is a fantastic power-packed smartphone under 20K. The phone looks great from the back and while it looks a bit dated from the front, the display experience is really good. Dimensity 920 chipset makes sure that you can play even the most intensive games. The main camera takes pretty good shots but the lack of an ultra-wide camera cannot be overlooked. While the battery backup and charging speed aren’t the best, it still offers a good volume for money. All in all, iQOO Z7 is well balanced 5G phone and is a solid option for someone who is looking for a gaming phone under 20K.

75% iQOO Z7 5G review: A well-balanced phone under Rs 20,000
Source: India Today English
iQQO makes great phones and the good thing is it offers them at an affordable price point. The new iQOO Z7 5G is also built on similar lines. After using the smartphone for around 7 days, I strongly believe that the iQOO Z7 5G is one of the best you can get under the price of Rs 20,000 if not the BEST. The iQOO Z7 5G offers a sleek design and is also lightweight, which means you can easily use it all day long. While the design looks premium, I would have liked it even more if it opted for a glass body instead. The phone also offers a great pair of cameras, which capture well-detailed photos in most situations, and also decent battery life. However, performance is one area where I feel it could have been better, especially while dealing with multitasking and games. Although the phone manages the usual day-to-day tasks well. All-in-all, the iQOO Z7 5G is a good deal if you are looking for a phone under Rs 20,000. However, it does require some improvements here and there. Now, if you can’t deal with the cluttered Funtouch OS of the iQOO phone, there are a few other options available out there, such as – Realme 10 Pro, Poco X5, and some others.

80% iQOO Z7 review: Lightweight & efficient, is this the best phone under Rs 20,000?
Source: The Indian Express English
The iQOO Z7 is a well-balanced mid-tier smartphone that balances all major features that one expects from a phone in this price range. However, with no stereo speaker setup, ultra-wide-angle camera, and slightly dated design, the phone might not appeal to everyone. If you are looking for the best value-for-money smartphone under Rs 20,000, then the iQOO Z7 is a good pick. However, if you want a phone with a large screen and a bigger battery, offerings from Xiaomi and Realme are definitely more enticing.

The iQOO Z7 5G’s slim and light form factor makes it super-pocketable. We get a nice AMOLED display, which feels slow as compared to rivals. Performance and battery are the iQOO Z7 5G’s strongpoints, and the smartphone has a decent camera setup, especially for selfie lovers! A safe approach from iQOO, doing what they do best - a focus on performance, and a decent camera performance.

80% iQOO Z7 Review: The sub-Rs 20,000 zone gets a champ
Source: Tech PP English
The iQOO Z7 starts at Rs 18,999 for a 6GB/ 128 GB variant and also comes with an 8 GB/ 128 GB variant at Rs 19,999. It faces some serious competition there, most notably from the likes of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite, the Samsung Galaxy M33, and the Redmi Note 12, all of which come with larger displays and larger batteries. However, they do give ground in other departments. But if what you are seeking is a mid-segment phone with a good processor and a very good camera, then the iQOO Z7 is almost impossible to beat at the time of writing. With generally good specs, a flashy design, and a generally solid performance, the iQOO Z7 could well prove to be a new benchmark for devices priced below Rs 20,000!

Vivo iQOO Z7i Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Vivo iQOO Z7i is a decent smartphone that is available at a budget price with 5G support. A decent smartphone in this price range has been hard to find in the last few years, whether that’s due to chip shortage, lockdowns, or inflation. Most smartphones at this price don’t come close to this spec, which is a really sad thing, but it’s good to see that things are changing. The chipset and camera are more than decent specs considering the price, which was a nice surprise. When we say the camera is good, we mean the rear camera and not the selfie camera. That said, we hoped to see support for a high refresh rate or a higher resolution panel, but can’t ask much at this price range. We are impressed with the smartphone and it falls on our recommendation list for those looking to buy a decent smartphone without needing to turn over the wallet.

Vivo iQOO Z7x Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Vivo iQOO Z7x is overall an acceptable deal since it got essential specs and features packed in one place. Usually, you don’t find this type of deal regularly. The design aspect is superb, with a decent resolution panel with 3.5 jack support, 5G connectivity, SD slot, etc. All of those plus points make this phone quite an alluring deal without any doubt. But currently, the phone is not available on the global market, so we would suggest you go with an alternative option for now. For example, the Samsung Galaxy M14 is a good phone that will arrive in the same price bracket with presentable specs. But you can also look for the Vivo iQOO Z7 if you want an overall better configuration, except it is slightly more expensive than the Z7x.

The iQoo Z7 Pro is a performance-centric phone that does justice to its asking price. The phone looks good, has a great in-hand feel and has two years of software support. It handles day-to-day tasks easily and comes with fast charging. Bloatware is a problem and camera performance may have been better, given that competitors like Realme 11 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus are doing well in this area.

The iQOO Z7 Pro is a solid gaming smartphone but falls short in some areas, particularly in imaging and audio – lacking an ultra-wide-angle camera and featuring only a mono speaker. Nevertheless, its thin and lightweight construction and balanced performance give it an edge over peers in the same segment.

To conclude, the iQOO Z7 Pro is a proper iQOO smartphone. We get a superb price-to-performance ratio, we get a good camera setup, very good battery and to sweeten all of that, we get a beautiful design with the curved glass on front and back. Now, there are shortcomings. The display struggles with sunlight visibility despite showing good numbers on the Lux Meter. There is no wide-angle lens, and this time around we have seen bloatware make it to iQOO smartphones so that is never good. But despite all this, the iQOO Z7 Pro does what it is supposed to, and does it gracefully.

The Vivo iQOO Z7s is a decent smartphone that seems to have all the right specs that people want in this price bracket. There are other smartphones sporting the same specs, but their camera quality leaves a lot to be desired. The iQOO Z7 smartphone. However, provides all that while providing decent daylight photography. However, it is slightly behind the original iQOO Z7 Pro, but that comes at a higher price tag. It certainly delivers what iQOO promised and it does so at a price that’s fair considering the current inflation and chip shortage. If you want an alternative smartphone, then we would recommend the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed smartphone, which arrives with a better set of specs, an ultrawide lens, and a massive battery that surely outperforms this iQOO device. Anyways, the iQOO Z7s is not a bad device, but at a better price point, you will receive a better value on the alternative smartphone, We suggest you check it in your free time.

75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
