Vivo sub-brand iQoo has extended its portfolio in the Indian market with the launch of iQoo Z3 followed by the launch of iQoo 7 and iQoo 7 Legend. This device is the company’s first mid-range phone, which retails under the Rs 20,000 price category. This makes it stand up against the likes of Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, OnePlus Nord CE, Mi 11 Lite and Samsung Galaxy A52. Find out if the phone is worth buying over its competition. Here is our in-depth (long term) review of iQoo Z3.
iQoo Z3 review (in-depth): Design and Display
The iQoo Z3 comes in two colour options: Ace Black and Cyber Blue. The unit which we have for the review is the subtle Ace Black variant. It has a glossy polycarbonate back panel that looks like glass and is a bit of a fingerprint magnet. The rear of the phone gives an ombre effect. Though it has a plastic build, our unit did not suffer any scratches during the tests. Also, it is shipped with silicon back cover, so this will keep the device protected from further damage. The weight distribution is perfect, it only weighs about 186 gms. Adding to the comfort, because of its not so wide form factor, it fits perfectly in your hands if you have small to medium-sized hands. The power button on the right side of the frame comes integrated with a fingerprint sensor, which can be easily relied on for phone unlocking. The volume up/down key is situated just above the power button. There is no port given on either side. Instead, the SIM slot is placed on the top frame, which has a rubber gasket that will prevent water from seeping in, therefore protecting the SIM/microSD card from moisture damage. Note that the phone carries an IP52 rating for dust and water resistance. The bottom of the phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack, a Type-C port for charging and a bottom-firing speaker.Moving to the display, the iQoo Z3 5G is headlined with a 6.58-inch full-HD+ LCD display offering 1,080×2,408 pixels of resolution. It comes with 120Hz refresh rate support in addition to a 90.61 screen to body ratio, 20:9 aspect ratio, and HDR support. Instead of an AMOLED panel, iQoo has provided an LCD screen and a waterdrop notch at the top instead of a hole punch cutout. Talking about the performance of the screen, the red and blue hues are a bit oversaturated in the default mode. Adjusting the temperature from the settings enhances the colours. There is 450 nits of peak brightness, which makes it ideal to be used indoors, but that doesn’t help outdoors, as it is not as bright as it should be under direct sunlight. But the best part is that iQoo has well optimised the 120Hz refresh rate for the device. There are no micro stutters or lags when scrolling through social media feeds and more. On top of that, one does not need to manually switch between 60Hz, 90Hz and 120Hz, but the smart switch automatically does it for you. We have no complaints in terms of the touch response as well. Moreover, the screen supports Widevine L1 for HD content streaming. The HDR videos played on Youtube looked fine, but they have not been optimised for other OTT platforms like Amazon Prime and Netflix, to name a few.
iQoo Z3 review (in-depth): Performance and cameras
The iQoo Z3 5G is loaded with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G SoC with an Adreno 620 GPU. It offers up to 8GB of RAM with 256GB of expandable storage up to 1TB using a microSD card. The 5G chipset comes with a five-layered liquid cooling system that accurately senses the heat source and intelligently adapts the optimal cooling solution, therefore effectively cooling down the phone by 10 degrees during extensive gaming sessions. This is fairly impressive. But we noticed heating around the camera module, so for a better gaming experience, we recommend turning down the settings when playing demanding titles like Asphalt 9 Legends. Less demanding games like Call of Duty were exceptionally smooth. We tried it out at high graphics and frame rate settings and the chipsets handled it all. The phone does warm up a little, but not enough to be a cause of concern. Because of the graphite cooling system, there were no signs of overheating here. Additionally, the iQoo Z3 handles everything and is great at performing day to day tasks. There is a feature for extended RAM or virtual RAM that uses 3GB of internal storage by turning it into virtual RAM for multitasking. On the software front, the device OriginOS for iQoo 1.0 is based on Android 11. In our testing, we had some issues when multitasking with the heavier apps, which is quite strange as the device offers virtual RAM options. However, the OS gives a stock Android-like feel and every integrated feature in the smartphone like the app drawer, lock screen posters and more offers its own privacy terms and conditions. The iQoo Z3 does come with pre-installed bloatware, but these can be easily removed, freeing up storage space. The notifications can also be disabled as well. Okay, with that out of the way, let’s talk about the cameras. The iQoo Z3 5G is laden with a triple rear camera setup that includes an Isocell GW3 64-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.79 aperture. In addition to this, there is an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor with f/2.2 aperture, 120 degrees of field of view and a 2-megapixel lens with f/2.4 aperture. Upfront, there is a 16-megapixel camera sensor with an f/2.0 aperture for taking selfies and video calling. The outcome of the daytime images did provide high contrast and looked oversaturated, therefore the images looked extra bright. But it offers better colour optimisation most of the time, but if you prefer a more toned-down colour, you can look somewhere else. Wide-angle images looked more vibrant in certain instances that gave an unnatural effect to the photos. The portrait images sometimes look over-exposed with a tint of yellow. The macro shots are not so good and lacked details and looked out of focus. standard modeLow light images lacked better exposure, details and HDR. We also noticed a red tint in the nighttime images. When you turn on the night mode, the images look bright, offering a good amount of detail in extremely low light conditions. The iQoo Z3 also lets you shoot ultra-wide at night, but the shots taken were not that good. We liked the selfies taken on the iQoo Z3 5G as the shots taken are sharp, look natural, have good contrast, and dynamic range. Similarly, portrait selfies also tell the same story. The images produced are natural with edge detection on point.portrait modeIn terms of videography, iQoo has provided shooting videos in 4K resolution at 60fps that lack stabilisation. However, it does offer EIS when dialled down to 30fps. But the stabilisation is better than its competition. In a similar way, the recordings in 1080p at 60fps have good stabilisation and better exposure. The selfie videos are limited to 1080p@30fps and are not paired with EIS.For endurance, the iQoo Z3 comes with a 4,400mAh battery with 55W fast charging support. Surprisingly, the battery lasted for a whole day with just a couple of hours of watching videos, gaming, and scrolling through the social media apps. The company has provided a 55W adapter, which takes about 20 minutes to charge from zero to 50 percent and less than an hour to charge it completely.
Verdict
The iQoo Z3 comes with some interesting features that will make its competitors sweat for sure. The mono speakers and an LCD display can be a deal-breaker for some, but the provided thermal solution and powerful performance make the phone an ideal midrange smartphone. The decent cameras and powerful videography make the phone stand out.

Everyone has loved Apple products since the first segment of the iPhone and iPad came into the market. This list will show 13 super genius tricks every iPhone and iPad owner should know to increase their productivity and get the best out of these superb devices.Since the launch of the devices, there have been many major upgrades making these devices incredibly flexible and useful. There are often some features introduced in the Apple device that are either hidden or we know less about them. Lets look at some of them below
Control what apps do in the background
Some applications come in handy when running in the background such as weather forecasts or news applications especially when you wake up in the morning. But background refresh can also result in some not useful apps using bandwidth and battery in the background for no good reason. A prime example is Facebook that tends to demand extra resources that it really needs. This can be controlled by going into Settings > General > Background App Refresh and toggle off the applications that do not require background refresh according to you.
Make use of widgets
Widgets in both iPad and iPhones can be extremely helpful in showing widgets to show calendar items, weather forecasts, news headlines and anything else you fancy. All you have to do is hold on to the blank bit of your home screen. After that, a panel will open in which you can select widgets you want to add. If for some reason you change your mind just press and hold the widget until you see a little circle with a minus sign over each widget. Tapping the minus sign will remove it from your Home screen.
Make use of floating keyboard
The default keyboard especially on iPad takes a lot of room when switched to landscape mode. It can be made smaller by pressing and holding on the keyboard icon at the lower left of the keyboard and then sliding your finger over Float. The keyboard will become much smaller and can be repositioned by dragging it across the screen. It can be returned to normal form by pinching out using two fingers.
Use applications in Split view
Split view is a brilliant feature available in iPads and iPhones. One can easily work in two applications side by side. A great example of this can be if you are writing a research paper on the web. You can just open the notes app in one half of the screen and browser on the next. Slide over and drag the application from the dock while it is currently open. It will automatically open in a split view.Read Also: Apple now owns Intel’s smartphone modem patents
Slide Over
It does not work for iPhone but is a handy feature if one uses iPad more often. It helps you to quickly use another app without leaving the current one. Your iPad remembers which apps you use in this mode for faster switching. To use it, open the first app and then slide up from the bottom to show the Dock. Touch and hold the icon for the second app and drag it upwards. The application will try to go in a split-screen mode rather than dragging it to the other half, releasing it to the opened app and making the application open in a floating window.
Switch off gestures
Gestures are an easy way to navigate through apps or to utilise the full power of your device. But sometimes this can be interfering with either other apps or you are not habitual to it. One can easily switch off gestures as well by heading to Settings > General > Multitasking. By switching the toggle you can now easily get rid of gestures and triggering the same mistakes.
PiP mode for multitasking
Imagine watching a film or having a FaceTime video call in full-screen mode and you need to switch to another application to complete some work. Well, Apple has got you covered. Just press the little arrow icon on the screen. For example, if you are watching a video on Apple Music. Press the Windows icon on the top left corner and the video will start playing in PiP mode. Tapping on the video again will bring it back to normal size. It is some of the best tricks every iPhone and iPad owner should know
Create PDFs and screenshots of the entire page
If you are surfing through your browser and want to save and share it as a PDF, it’s easy using the Safari browser. All you need to do is bring up the Share menu in the browser. The menu will include a “Make PDF” option. It comes in handy, especially for offline reading purposes. There is also a feature to take screenshots of the entire page. Take a normal screenshot and tap on the thumbnail to open editing mode. The top will have an option of “Capture the entire page”. With the help of this, you can save and share the screenshot later as well.Read Also: Microsoft revamps Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10
Live Text
This feature rolled out recently with iOS 15 and works exactly like Google Lens. The new feature scans for text in images, through your phone’s camera, in screenshots, and in Safari. Tap on the Live Text button on the image or tap on the text highlighted by your camera. You can also use this feature on the recently snapped photos by selecting the text in a document.
Focus Mode
Focus mode works similarly to Do not disturb, but better. The feature also has a Sleep mode, which lets you set your sleep schedule. New modes have been recently included in the interface as well like the Personal and Work modes. One can set on the focus mode according to their need and silence their smartphones right away. It’s a good productivity feature to help you in the settings.
Use the keyboard like a trackpad
An underrated feature that has been long in Apple devices. It’s a handy feature if one is typing long paragraphs and it becomes really difficult to tap on a particular correction. This feature comes in handy for these situations. Just hold the Space bar on your keyboard and the keyboard will turn into a trackpad. With which you can navigate to any word or paragraph easily and make changes.
Finish web address instantly
It is a small yet interesting option which Apple has added. Yes it won’t save you a lot of time but surely will make your internet experience better. Just open Safari and type any website name. After typing the name, hold the full stop (dot) to see many domain options like .com, .co.uk and so on. One can also hold other alphabets/numbers as well to see multiple options related to them.Read Also: Genius brings the new HS-G500V gaming headset
Set setting per-site
Some websites have a lot of ads on their page and it gets difficult to fetch out useful details from them. It’s easy to avoid by tapping on the AA icon in the safari address bar and switching it to reading mode. This will strip down a lot of unnecessary clutter. By tapping the same icon again you can adjust font, colour and size as well. In the website setting, you can choose from whether to use content blockers or request the desktop site rather than the mobile one too.
These are some super genius tricks every iPhone and iPad owner should know. These tricks will come in handy and improve your experience with Apple products. Also, some of them can improve your productivity as well.

With every advancing year, the price of new Android smartphones is skyrocketing. We can see that the newer android flagships are becoming so expensive. Hence, if you want to own flagship and cannot afford to buy a new flagship. It’s wise to consider a second-hand phone, as it will cost you much less than buying a new one. Here are 10 things to check when buying a second-hand Android smartphone.
Ask for a purchase receipt
The basic and first step to check the authenticity of the buyer is to ask for the bill. From the bill you get to know many details of the buyer and if the Smartphone is stolen or not. You can check it by asking the seller to show you a valid purchase receipt. If the seller refuses to do so, refuse to buy.

Ask for any repairs phone has undergone
One of the important aspects of buying a used smartphone. Ask the seller if the phone has undergone many repairs.

Connect the cable to the charging port and test if the device is charging. Click some pictures from the front and rear cameras. Make sure the proximity sensor works by making calls. Ambient light sensors can be checked by switching on automatic brightness and covering the phone’s top. Play some good quality music to check the phone’s bottom-firing or front-firing speaker.
Check for the phone’s information with IMEI
It’s important for one to check if the IMEI number has not been tampered with or the mobile is not some Chinese knock off.
