Hey, what’s up?
Sami here, today we are going to take a quick look at vivo’s sub-brand iQOO’s newest
phone iQOO 8 and 8 Pro.
Sorry for being late on this model as I was having fun with my new Dream Glass AR Headset recently,
you can check out that by clicking the link on the screen.
Anyway, let’s check what the iQOO 8 series has to offer.
First, let’s unbox the IQOO 8 Pro.
The askew yellow waistline is the classic design from iQOO, isn’t it?
Open the box, we see the phone, as we have the Legendary version you can see the unique
three-color stripe on the back panel.
That means speed and passion as iQOO told us.
Under that are the white phone case, some paperwork, and a pin.
Last is the type-c cable and the 120W fast charging adapter.
Alright, now let me walk you through all the specs.
The front of the iQOO 8 Pro is dominated by a curved 6.76-inch Samsung E5 LTPO OLED display
with 1440p resolution and a 1-120Hz variable refresh rate.
The panel sports 10-bit colors and was already reviewed by DisplayMate with A+ scores.
The vanilla iQOO 8 dials back to a 6.56 AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution and the same speedy
120Hz refresh rate.
As for the processor, the pro sports the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+, and the standard features
the Snapdragon 888 SoC.
We tried Antutu Benchmark and also loads of games, they all seem really fine.
I would say it has all the performance a middle-to-high range phone should have.
Going around the back we find a 50MP Sony IMX 766 with 23mm equivalent 7P freeform lens
which is the same sensor found in the Oppo Find X3 Pro and OnePlus Nord 2.
The main shooter gets 5-axis gimbal stabilization just like on recent vivo X-series flagships.
The accompanying modules include a 48MP ultrawide snapper and 16MP portrait cam.
The sensors on the vanilla iQOO 8 are less impressive with a 48MP Sony IMX598 primary
module next to a 13MP ultrawide snapper and 13MP portrait cam.
What really impresses us is the video quality,
just check out when we turn on different stabilization features here.
There is an interesting stabilization called “Horizontal stabilization”, which allows
you to take perfect leveled videos no matter what angle you are holding the phone, just
check it out.
But if you enable that feature then the video can only be shot at 1080p/30fps.
While for Standard stabilization you can shoot at 4k.60fps, Super stabilization supports
1080p/60fps.
I gotta say the micro gimbal on the iQOO 8 rocks!
It truly offers super stabilized videos even without an actual gimbal.
Of course, another unique feature that comes with the iQOO 8 series is the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
Unlike other normal under panel scanners, you have to register your fingerprints multiple times,
this one you just register once and it will be successful and the scanning area
is so big that you don’t even need to look at it specifically to unlock,
you just put your finger there and will be unlocked.
Not only that, you can unlock even when your finger is wet.
Amazing, isn’t it?!
As for the price I just listed in the description, you can check it out.
Alright, that’s a really simple first look at the iQOO 8 series, currently, there’s
