Design
The design of the phone is a bit new and is very similar to Vivo V27 Pro. Especially the rear camera module and LED light.

Yes, this device comes with a new look from the screen or front end. Overall the design of the phone is good.
display
iQOO Z7 Pro has an AMOLED display, which is of good quality. The screen supports 120hz refresh rate and its brightness is 1300nits. The brightness of the phone is quite good in both indoor and outdoor conditions. On this you see vibrant colors. No complaints with the screen.
Operating System
The phone works on Android 13 based FunTouch OS 13. In this you will get many apps pre-installed like other iQOO devices. It seems that the company should improve the software experience a bit. For gamers, it has Ultra Gaming Mode, which boosts performance.
Processor and performance
The device works on MediaTek Dimensity 7200 processor. This is a mid-range chipset, which is seen in many devices. However, there can be no doubt on its capability. Be it your daily tasks or gaming on the phone, it handles both things with ease.
In this phone you can play games like BGMI on high settings. It has 8GB RAM. The phone comes in two storage options, but the company has not given any option to expand the storage in it. This trend is being seen in the last few series of phones, when brands are removing the option to expand storage from their phones.
camera
The phone has a dual rear camera setup, whose main lens is 64MP. This camera comes with OIS support. Along with this, the brand has given a 2MP depth sensor. You can click better quality photos during day time. If you want, you can keep the HDR option on for better results.
Ultra wide angle lens is not available in the handset, which is missing. You get many modes in the camera, which you can use to click different types of photos. Talking about low light, the phone clicks average quality photos. For better results you will have to use flash.
The company has given a 16MP camera in the front, which is good. It cannot be called the best camera in the segment, but it is fine. The front camera gives good output in both low light and day light conditions. However, you will get better camera phones than this in this budget.

The handset has a 4600mAh battery, due to which the weight of the phone reduces significantly and the design also becomes slim. However, you can easily use it throughout the day on a single charge. Yes, those who do gaming may find the battery a little low. It has 66W fast charging and the phone gets fully charged in about an hour.
You get average quality haptic experience in the phone. It has an in-display fingerprint sensor, which is fine. Speaker output is also good. We have not seen any problem in calling and connectivity.
