deRykcihC, 28 Jun 2024im in malaysia, the note 13 pro 5g is always more expensive... moreI live Indonesia, the Note 13 Pro 5G is about RM. 1267 for the 8/256 variant, while the Z9 is RM. 1238 for the same configuration. The Z9 is slightly cheaper, but the difference isn't big.
If you want the best value and performance at around the same price range, the Infinix GT 20 Pro is probably your best bet. It also has better cameras than the Z9, but the battery life is poor and it gets hot very easily.

In my country, that phone is at least ~$181 USD while the Z9 is ~$262, it's just not comparable. But I don't exactly know where you live, so I can't make exact judgements since costs can vary per country, therefore my next sentence is just purely based on the prices in my country.
Here, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G is a closer competitor as it costs about the same for the 8/256 configuration at ~$262 USD, both phones have their own strengths and weaknesses which I'll write down here:
IQOO Z9
- Better water resistance (IP64 vs IP54)
- Fully featured Always-On Display (always on, tap to display and scheduled, while the Redmi is limited to just 10 seconds)
- HDR10 support
- Better performance (at least 25% faster than Redmi)
- Better thermals (thanks to a much larger vapor chamber)
- Newer Wi-Fi 6 (Wi-Fi 5 on Redmi)
- Newer Bluetooth 5.4 (Bluetooth 5.2 on Redmi)
- Larger battery (6000mAh vs 5100mAh)
- Ships with Android 14
Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G
- Glass rear body (Z9 uses plastic)
- eSIM support
- 120Hz refresh rate on 1.5K resolution (Z9 is limited to 90Hz on 1.5K)
- Dolby Vision support
- Gorilla Glass Victus protection (Z9's glass protection is unknown)
- Better main camera with OIS
- Better digital zoom results (200MP vs 50MP)
- Ultrawide camera
- Macro camera (I don't personally use it)
- Slightly better selfie camera with better stabilization
- Headphone jack
- Slightly longer update span (4 years of security patches vs 3 years on Z9)
Personally, I think both are pretty good value at this price point. The Z9 is more suitable for gamers and power users looking for performance, endurance and effective cooling, while the Note 13 Pro 5G is more suitable for photographers and casual users looking for an all-rounder phone. At the end of the day, buy whatever phone that suits your needs and budget.

Anonymous, 02 Jun 2024So.... what's the problem is?I've been using the phone for a month, worth every cents. Camera quality is very good but no OIS. Other than that, it's an awesome phone. Easily 10 hours screen on time. Good enough for gaming but medium to low setting.

Why even bother saying the Z9 is a China model? All 3 versions of the phone are China models😒😔
When the Z9 Turbo was originally rumored, it was SUPPOSED TO BE a Global phone with FuntouchOS! But NOOOOOO all 3 have OriginOS... Stupid! 🤨

I get a POCO F5 at almost similar price before and never ever look for other smartphone I think for 3 years, at least won't lose anything special. Redmi.... Well..... Last time those still better than Z7, now it might change. Maybe the comparable one is Redmi Note 13 Pro, not the base variant Redmi Note 13
