This is my second flagship phone. Earlier using realme X50 pro. Now lets gets to the pros and cons straight…. ( I am a heavy user).
Pros:-
Good performance when compared with Oneplus 12r, Realme gt 6t.
1-) Great display.
2-) Long battery life.
3-) Fast charging.
4-) So many customizations in the UI.
5-) Best portrait photos. (You can easily compare with iphone portraits) (This will outperform it)
6-) 20x zoom.
7-) Beast in the gaming
9-) Charging speed. (You need to turn on the option Fast charging from the settings search)
* Now lets get to the cons:-
1-) Build quality is below average.
No NFC so no Tap and pay.
2-) No dolby atmos support even at this price range, so if you have high resistant earbuds (LDAC) than you will feel very sad, sound will not be that kind of the earbuds which supports Dolby atmos with LDAC.
3-) Issues and bugs in UI (Realme Link app dont runs in it)
4-) Camera is okayish (Not accepted for this price range) (But you can install a gcam from telegram channels) (it will work more good)
5-) No root support.
6-) No good video recording quality.
7-) UI is an average. Some options are very hard to find.
Verdict:-
1-) For Gamers:- If you are planning to buy this phone for a gaming purpose than blindly go for it but remember one thing that dont update the phone,another the performance will get decreased. Every brand degrades the performance with every update.
2-) For camera lovers:- Stay away, Go with Pixel 8. Also Gcam support is not available with this phone.
3-) For performance lovers:- Blindly go for it if you can compromise the camera and UI.
Overall it is a good phone with some pros and cons. Kindly read this review and buy.

I know many of you buy this phone mainly for gaming performance, but I have to say it’s a great all-rounder. It offers excellent performance in other aspects as well. With 12GB RAM and 256GB storage at ₹33K, it’s the best value for money!

I purchased this phone on the launch day, feb 22 and the phone was delivered to me on 23rd Feb.
The snapdragon 8 gen 2 processor is the beast,
After one hour of heavy gaming this phone doesn’t heat up more than 3 8deg C thanks to its 6k cooling system, The highest 144 refresh rate is the other best feature I loved the most which makes this phone very smooth,
Battery is the killer, 0-100% charging duration is 27-28 mins with the 120W charging cable, the type c to type c cable in the charger make the charger pretty cool, after whole day heavy usage the battery remains more than 40% at night which is pretty good.
Camera quality is on another level, this phone is beating one plus 12r substantially, initially I was going to opt 12r but when I got to know about this one, I decided to prebook this on 8th February and purchased this on the launch day, and this phone was delivered to me on the next day on 23rd Feb.
I really liked this phone very much
12+12 GB of ram make this phone the ultimate beast which is very hard to beat.
With the UFS 4.0 the read write speed of more than 4000mb this phone is gonna kill in the market.
The fiery red colour of the phone the another reason why I fell for this phone, just looking way more than many wows, exquisite, flamboyant and next level of beauty.
Delicacy is beauty: Remember that the vegan leather in this phone’s back is pretty thin so I would suggest you to cover it with a transparent back case of hard polycarbonate, sides might been designed with metal that would provide more strength, iqoo has compromised on the building quality of this phone If you try to bend the phone from either side it will show that how delicate its body is so I suggest you to handle this phone with care,
My rating to this phone : 5/5
Camera: 5/5 Sony IMX 920 is the killer but the selfie camera would have been better
Battery: 5/5 no complaints as of now but 120w charging may harm its battery in the long run
Camera 5/5, day and night photography and videography is the killing the show
Snapdragon 8 gen 2: 5/5 more than 1.6mn AnTuTu score
Ram: 12+12 GB 5/5
Look: 5/5
Design: 4.5/5 Would have been better in the building quality
YouTube,prime video Netflix experience is next level: 5/5
Sound quality: 5/5 best in any mobile phone you will get
Gaming: 5/5
Thermals: 5/5
In hand feel: 5/5
Overall 5/5
Just go for it

Snapdragon 8 gen 2 plus Q1 chip is a beast
Gaming is so much fun on this device
I play genshin impact and honkai starrail and both run smoothly on high graphics
Genshin impact is supported by the Q1 chip and I enable 144 hz plus super resolution feature which does make the game look sharper and smoother
Day to day is a breeze because of the chipset
Display is sharp and bright
Stereo speaker is very good with good seperation
UI is okay okay, I use nova launcher anyways so my homescreen looks same on all phone
The UI has many features but they need to improve on the UI but it’s not a deal breaker like how most reviewers are mentioning.
If you want phone for UI there are other options like moto, pixel, Samsung, OnePlus. I have used their phones in past and I have come to realise not everyone uses all the features provided on the UI anyways.
You just need to be careful while setting up the phone and not select all the options but read them and choose only those which are compulsory or u have a need for.
After setting it up just disable the notification from v store and in home browser and ur good
If you use any launcher then use their feature to hide app so u don’t need to see them ever again
Now coming to the camera, the ultrawide and front camera are good enought not the best but the main camera is very very good both in photo and video department. You won’t be disappointed.
Lastly please do apply a tempered glass and a good cover for protection due to the protection on the display.
Hope whoever buys this phone enjoy it’s to the max like I have been doing.
