What reviewers say

Good

  • Sturdy body with IP68/IP69
  • Long battery life and very fast charging
  • Top speed that holds under load
  • Loud, good stereo speakers
  • Solid daytime photos
  • IR blaster, ultrasonic fingerprint reader and NFC
  • Four Android upgrades, five years of patches

Not so good

  • Secondary cameras weak at night
  • Zoom limited to 2x
  • No eSIM
  • Many preinstalled apps
  • Lost the periscope zoom of the iQOO 12
  • Cameras weaker than the iQOO 12, especially at night
  • Dim outdoors in tests
  • GSMArena86/100Nov 2024

    A very capable all-rounder at a sharp price; camera fans may prefer rivals for night shots (non-India unit).

  • 91mobiles82/100Dec 2024

    Strong Snapdragon 8 Elite performer with a great screen and toughness; camera hardware stepped back.

  • Digit83/100Dec 2024

    Probably the best performance phone under Rs 60,000, but not the best camera phone.

  • Gadgets360 (NDTV)90/100Dec 2024

    Rated highly; points to the Realme GT 7 Pro only for those who want a better camera (via Notebookcheck).

  • India Today80/100Dec 2024

    A flagship at a non-flagship price, a very good deal at Rs 54,999 (via Notebookcheck).

  • The Indian Express80/100Dec 2024

    Called a true Android flagship killer (headline via Notebookcheck).

  • Android Central90/100Nov 2024

    Score via Notebookcheck; global unit.
