What reviewers say

Good

  • Very fast Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
  • Steady 120fps gaming with good cooling
  • Bright, sharp 2K OLED
  • Long battery, 9.5-11 hours screen time
  • 100W charger in the box
  • Fast ultrasonic fingerprint reader
  • Loud stereo speakers

Not so good

  • Thicker bottom bezel
  • Uneven long-range zoom photos
  • Noisy indoor video
  • No telemacro
  • 40W wireless charger not sold in India
  • Over-sharpened selfies with soft colours
  • Basic AI features
  • Smartprix86/100Nov 2025

    iQOO's most balanced phone in years; cameras (video, long zoom) and small software glitches are the weak spots.

  • 91mobiles80/100Nov 2025

    Strong on speed, screen, cooling and battery; selfie camera and software need polish and the look is familiar.

  • GSMArenaRecommendedNov 2025

    Again an excellent all-rounder and easy to recommend even at the higher launch price.

  • FoneArenaRecommendedNov 2025

    A powerful upgrade over the iQOO 13 whose price rise is mostly justified; low-light camera is not class-leading.

  • Business TodayRecommendedNov 2025

    A solid, almost compromise-free flagship and a top Android gaming pick.

  • Android CentralRecommendedDec 2025

    Easy to recommend for its internals, battery and screen, though the iQOO 13 was better value.

What owners say

Owners like

  • Still smooth after about six months
  • Stable frame rates in BGMI and COD Mobile
  • Full day of battery even with gaming; 100W charging removes battery worry
  • Main and 3x periscope cameras dependable
  • Good speakers, haptics, outdoor brightness and fingerprint reader (one long-term owner)

Common complaints

  • Warm during long gaming, especially while charging
  • Heating and gyroscope trouble in games after a software update (one owner)
  • Fingerprint-locked apps freezing for seconds, not fixed by a replacement unit (one owner)
  • Preinstalled apps, occasional UI glitches, aggressive background app killing
  • Ultrawide is the weakest camera

One Kolkata owner got a replacement from the service centre, but the fault returned and support refused a refund (iQOO Community, Dec 2025).
