Abhishek16, 04 Apr 2021How is ur experience using ur iqoo 3 for few days ?I am using this phone from 3 months. Below are the performance highlights of different components-
1. Processor- No lags, no stutters, no issues ever faced for a second in any applications. Pure flagship!

2. Software- Loaded with features; needs development though. Comes with pre-installed bloatwares which can't be removed. Have to work upon stable optimization for updates.

3. Camera- Okay. No flagship level performance. A soft tone is there alike vivo and oppo. You have to install gcam for taking killer photos and sometimes need to edit. Can be done better by giving updates and unlocking features like 960 fps in slo-mo.

4. Battery- A favourable one. Easily withstand 1 day with YouTube, surfing, social networking, Call of Duty and watching web series. No issues. Pure flagship! Only takes 15 minutes to get 45%. Enough juice for 15 -16 hours.

5. Display- For me I will always prefer Super Amoled 60 fps over IPS LCD 120 fps.(personal preference) For me display is nice. Has HDR10+ certification. Stunning visuals. Deep blacks are deep blacks.

6. Building quality- Built like a solid tank. Corning Gorilla 6 in both back and front (front tuned by Schott Xensation Up). Premium feel. Pure flagship!

7. Speakers- Could have been better. I mean, single speaker is loud however can't compete with the feel of dual stereo speakers.

Worth mentioning- Has 3.5mm hi-fi DAC audio jack, lack of Dolby audio and vision, lack of high refresh rate display, lack of NFC, has a very strong wifi and call reception, has inbuilt boosters for gaming performance, has dedicated trigger buttons for gaming, has dedicated AI button for assistance, lack of many free inbuilt themes and fonts, nice RAM management, nice storage speed.

My verdict- A value for money flagship!

    beep bop boop, 11 Mar 2021how is the experience so far?Truly impressed with iQOO's software support. It is reacting like old Oneplus use to be, with just one model (iQOO 3) available outside China, all effort is poured into this model. Hence receiving FOTA updates every month:

    Update version: iQOO rev 6.70.25
    Size: 184.36MB

    Update Log:
    1) Optimized calls for stability
    2) Optimized system stability by fixing the occasional issue of restarts due to system exceptions
    3) Optimized system power consumption to improve system smoothness
    4) Optimized Albums app for a better experience

    After update:

    Model: I1927
    Android Version: 11
    Android security patch level: 01-Feb-2021
    iQOO UI Version: 6.70.25

    Compile Time: 15-Mar-2021

      Abhishek16, 04 Apr 2021How is ur experience using ur iqoo 3 for few days ?So far so good. iQOO 3 is a solid VFM product and will return every cent you paid for it. That's it. What it is lacks is in character, having something unique. Keeping my Vivo NEX S & iQOO side by side, 9 out of 10 times I pick up the Vivo (SD845) over iQOO (SD865) even though the later have better performance.

      The moment you hold NEX in you hand, you feel its unique character, the way it deserves to be used. This lures me to use the NEX more. In the end if you want a trustworthy performer with great performance in a compact form factor, look no further than iQOO 3 at the current price.

      However I will advice not to vouch for the 5G model, as iQOO 7 will arrive in India end of April, 2021 adorned with SD888 and 5G at less than INR 40K. So next year same time expect the 7 to be hovering around 30K bracket.

          Garriz, 20 Mar 2021So I've been using this device for couple of weeks and... morePhone gets heat up when charging because of fast charging. It is optimised to get charged 45% in first 15 minutes(which is incredible) and the rest 55% in next 35 minutes.

              nishant, 08 Mar 2021any battery drainage issue? Not at all, battery life is amazing

                So I've been using this device for couple of weeks and the only issue I've noticed is it heats up while charging. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?? Or is it just me.

                      Many iQOO 3 owners were complaining of battery endurance drop after Android 11 update. It seems they have fixed that.

                                  Limitbreaker, 27 Feb 2021Noice!!I am using the iQOO 3 for few days now. The software side of this phone is pretty well done and very stable to say the least. I found iQOO UI to be a re-skined version of Vivo’s FuntouchOS. The moment you go to setting everything looks and feels identical to my Vivo NEX S. Every Vivo propriety apps have just been renamed, like VivoCloud to iQOOCloud here. It is no wonder I am able to log into iQOOCloud with my existing VivoCloud account and download all my contacts & SMS from NEX S instantly via cloud.

                                  The phone arrived with below UI version:

                                  Phone Model: I1927
                                  Android Version: 10

                                  Upon 1st update instantly received the 2nd FOTA update as below:

                                  So two consecutive FOTA updates, gave me an Android version upgrade from 10 to 11 and a year of security patch upgrades. Not bad. Immediately after Android 11 update, I performed a hard factory reset, to clear the cache and wipe any Android 10 OS user image backup that existed to be used in Android 11. These previous OS user images just makes the phone slow and erratic. Result is the phone still remains blazing fast on Android 11 and battery endurance is impressive. Initially very happy for what I paid for the phone. Will further update my personal experiences on a later date.
