Check out the iQOO Z9s Pro's camera samples from a weekend in Baku, Azerbaijan

05 August 2024

The iQOO Z9 lineup currently includes three models in India - Z9, Z9 Lite, and Z9x. These will be joined by two 's' versions on August 21, called iQOO Z9s and iQOO Z9s Pro.

The iQOO Z9s is powered by the Dimensity 7300 SoC, while the iQOO Z9s Pro has the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip at the helm. Both smartphones feature a primary camera using a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor, while the Z9s Pro also sports an 8MP ultrawide camera.

iQOO invited us to a special media briefing in Baku, Azerbaijan last month, where we got our hands on both smartphones and took some photos and videos with the iQOO Z9s Pro. We are sharing them below so you can pixel-peep them yourselves. You can also use our Compare tool on the desktop version of the website to compare two images.

Daylight Photos

Let's take a look at the daylight pictures first captured with the 8MP ultrawide camera, followed by photos taken with the 50MP primary camera, which has an output of 12.6MP in the default Photo mode.

Ultrawide camera, 8MP, 0.6x magnification (16mm).

Primary camera, 12.6MP, 1x magnification (26mm).

Primary camera, 50MP (High resolution), 1x magnification (26mm).

Now, here are some pictures clicked in Portrait Mode at 1x and 2x magnification.

Low-light Photos

Now, let's take a look at some low-light photos. Once again, these were taken with the 8MP ultrawide and the 50MP primary camera.

AI Erase (AI Object Remover)

The AI Object Remover is one of the key camera features of the iQOO Z9s Pro. We used it to remove human subjects from some pictures; you can see it in action below.

Next up, we have a couple of 1080p videos recorded at 30FPS with Standard stabilization.

Now, we have two 1080p 30FPS videos recorded with Ultra stabilization. We went with 1080p resolution since the Ultra stabilization currently only works with 1080p 30FPS videos.

And that's it. We can't give a verdict on the iQOO Z9s Pro's camera quality until we've completed our usual tests, but you can tell us what you think about the photos and videos in the comments below.
