iQoo 7 Review: A killer gaming smartphone

It’s been some time since we have been using the iQoo 7, which is ready to take on its competitors under the Rs 35,000 price segment. Vivo has introduced its flagship series, which includes a Legend edition. Today we will be reviewing iQoo 7, which brings a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC that directly puts in front of the Mi 11X that has the same processor. In addition to this, there is a 120Hz display and more cool features. So let’s find out how well the smartphone performed in our iQoo 7 review.

iQoo 7 review: Design and Display

Let’s first start with the built quality and the design of the iQoo 7. This phone carries a simplistic design. The Solid Ice Blue colour, which we have, comes with a gradient finish and changes its hues when light hits it at different angles. The back of the phone is layered with AG matte glass to give it a matte yet smooth feel. Also, it does not attract any fingerprints and smudges at all. The big-sized camera module does not wobble when placed on a table or flat surface.  iQoo 7 review: Design and DisplayiQoo 7 review: Design and Display The side frames are made of plastic and all the buttons are given on the right side that includes power and volume rocker keys. The power button does not double up as a fingerprint reader since the company has integrated an in-display sensor. The phone does not ship a 3.5mm headphone jack or a microSD card slot. At the bottom, you will find a SIM card slot, Type-C USB port and a speaker grille, which is primary while the earpiece is a secondary one. So, yes you do get stereo sound support. iQoo 7 review: Design and Display   Due to its tall build, the device cannot be used single-handedly. There is a 6.62-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with 1,080×2,400 pixels of resolution, a 20:9 aspect ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate and a 300Hz touch sampling rate. Notably, most of the apps run on a 120Hz refresh rate, but YouTube on 60Hz only. Though it supports a higher refresh rate, the display does not feel buttery smooth while scrolling feeds on social media accounts. That could be the case of sensitivity. This we could feel as we have recently switched from Mi 11X Pro to iQoo 7, which was swift and smooth. iQoo 7 review The display comes with a peak brightness of 1,300nits, so the readability outdoors is perfect and can achieve low brightness while using the phone in bed or in dim light conditions. The colours are also fine, but you can change them in the display setting to your preference. The display comes with Widewine L1 support, but you can only stream content in HDR format. Moreover, there is an anti-flicker mode that reduces screen flicker and minimises visual fatigue when the screen brightness is low. But this may increase screen noise slightly. We have also realised that the company should have cut down the front camera diameter just like its competition has.

iQoo 7 review: Performance and Cameras

iQoo 7 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC, along with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. We have the 8GB RAM with a 128GB storage variant for review. The Snapdragon 870 unlocks great gaming performance and offers top-notch performance. Under real-life usage, the device is fast while opening default apps and effortless in multitasking. There even the most demanding titles like Call of Duty don’t stutter when played at the highest of graphics settings. You can convert the standard definition game to HDR. The phone does get warm at the back, but we cannot call it a heating issue. Most importantly this does not throttle the performance and the phone’s temp cools down very quickly.  The company claims that the phone has a graphite layer cooling system, but playing graphic-intensive games like COD, PUBG and Asphalt will surely take a toll on the thermals after 15 minutes of gameplay. You will also get to feel the vibration during gaming since there is 4D Game Vibration which uses the dual linear vibration motor. This feature lets you feel the bumps and impacts that boost the overall gaming performance on iQoo 7. iQoo 7 review: Performance and Cameras So far we have covered the display, design and performance side of things now comes the camera’s performance. There is a triple rear camera setup that includes a Sony IMX 598 48-megapixel primary sensor with OIS, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens that also doubles up as a macro sensor and a 2-megapixel mono lens. The phone features a 16-megapixel front-facing camera for taking selfies and video calling. The cameras manage to produce brighter, pleasing images, with good dynamic range and shadow details as well. When clicking images of flowers the cameras bring out more saturation, but we preferred it that way. The same goes with the ultra-wide images, the photos are sharp, bright and do not look dark. The OIS kicks in while shooting nighttime images, therefore, offering brighter and sharper images. You can also turn on the night mode, but sometimes the shots delivered are unnecessarily brighter at certain instances but does an excellent job in maintaining exposure and details in extremely low light conditions by bringing in more light. When it comes to portraits, the photos look unnaturally yellowish or orangish around the subject’s face. But sharpness and dynamic range are natural and the subject’s face looks smoothened. Besides this, the camera app offers some cool image effects to play with but at times the edge detection is just not perfect when it comes to selfies.
Portrait shots
Portrait shots
Now coming to the videography, iQoo 7 can capture 4K videos at 60fps from its primary rear camera. However, this resolution lacks booths EIS and OIS. The ultra-wide videos remain limited to 1080p @ 30fps and it also lacks stabilisation.
Macro shot
The selfie videos have good details and the skin tone looks natural while the audio pickup is decent as well. As for the battery life, iQoo 7 is fueled by a 4,400mAh battery. You end up getting more than 1 day of battery life even if you are a heavy user. The company ships a 65W charger that juices up the battery from zero to 50 percent in just 10 minutes and fully charges it in just half an hour. That’s commendable.

Verdict

So there you have it guys, the review of iQoo 7. The company has managed to deliver an overall balanced phone with this one that easily surpasses many devices at this price point. If you are on the lookout for a good gaming smartphone, this could very well be the option.

Instagram new security check feature rolled out for accounts that may have been hacked 

Instagram is rolling out a new security feature on its platform namely Security Check. This feature is being brought for the accounts that were hacked in the past. According to the company, this privacy feature will make the Instagram account more secure by guiding users whose accounts may have been hacked, through the steps needed to secure them. This includes checking login activity, reviewing profile information, confirming the accounts that share login information and updating account recovery contact information such as phone number or email. Facebook-owned social media app Instagram via blog post said, “Security Checkup is another way that we are working to keep Instagram accounts as secure as we can. But there are several other steps that we recommend everyone also take to make their account even more secure”. The photo-sharing app has shared some steps that will make the Instagram account more secure. The first step is the two-factor authentication, the users are strongly recommended to enable the TFA  using WhatsApp in certain countries. Besides this, the users can also enable TFA using their phone number, or an authenticator app like Duo Mobile or Google Authentication.  Instagram has also detailed that people should update their phone number associated with your device by doing this if something happens to your account you can be easily reached by the company. These steps let you recover your account even if your info has been changed by a hacker. Instagram also stated that it never DMs any of its users.  “Over the past few months, we’ve seen a rise in malicious accounts DMing people to try and access sensitive information like account passwords. They may tell you that your account is at risk of being banned, that you are violating our policies around intellectual property, or that your photos are being shared elsewhere. These messages are often scams and violate our policies. Instagram will never send you a DM.” Whenever the company comes across these kinds of scams it immediately takes action against them and has sent notices at the top of people’s Inbox to warn them about these messages over the past 2 months. Although the users are encouraged to report the content and block the account. As per the blog post, the company will reach you via the ‘Emails from Instagram’ tab in your settings, which is the only place you will find direct and authentic communication from Instagram on the app. The app users can also report individual pieces of content by tapping the three dots above a post, holding on to a message, or by visiting an account and reporting directly from the profile. In addition to this, you can also enable login requests so that when someone tries to log in to your account from an unrecognised device or web browser the company will be able to notify by providing the details of which device tried logging in and where it’s located. So you can further approve or deny the request immediately from your already logged-in devices.  For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

Asus AIO 241e review: A good companion when working from home

0
The pandemic has revived many ailing fields and opportunities. One such segment that saw great growth is of laptops and desktops. This is why companies like Asus also introduced all in one desktop machines like Asus AIO 241e. We spent some time with the desktop PC to understand what it is all about. This is Asus AIO 241e review you should not miss if you are looking to buy a new PC.

Asus AIO 241e review: Design and Display

Out of the box, the Asus AIO 241e screams for attention. The gold outlook is very modern and premium. However, the edge to edge 24-inch display without any bezel is what takes the cake away. The front bottom has a golden panel, which has an HD camera, a couple of MICs and speakers. Turn it around and you will find a flurry of USB 3.1 ports, HDMI in and HDMI our ports along with an Ethernet port. The power button can also be seen here on the right side. The bottom also has a mode switch (which can switch modes from PC to a set-top box or gaming console), a 3.5 mm audio port as well as an additional USB port, in case you want to connect a pen drive. With the Asus AIO 241e, the users get full QWERTY with NUM pad wireless keyboard and mouse. They run on dual triple-A and single double-A batteries. Both work well for daily use, but in case you want to game, then you would want a better keyboard and mouse. The golden metal stands ads to the show on the AIO and with the golden keyboard and mouse, it just looks fantabulous. Coming to the display, we went gaga over it. Asus AIO 241e comes with an anti-glare FHD LED display that can protrude sharp imagery and vivid colours. It has a 16:9 aspect ratio and 250 nits of peak brightness. We played a lot of Netflix videos as well and YouTube content and the AIO did not disappoint us. The sound compliments the display perfectly in the form of 3W x 2 speakers.

Asus AIO 241e review: Performance

When it comes to the technical specifications of the Asus AIO 241e AIO, the PC has an Intel Core i5 11th Gen CPU with a clock speed up to 2.4 GHz. The machine also comes with 8 GB RAM, 256GB SSD (PCIe), 1TB HDD and an onboard graphics unit. Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 built on Windows 10 Pro are also there. Overall, we found the Asus AIO 241e to be quite good. We played games like DOTA 2 and CS: Go on it and both ran between 60-90FPS with ease on high settings. There is almost no bloatware and Asus has done a good job to optimise this AIO. The best part about this AIO is that you can connect an external device such as the Xbox or the PlayStation and play games using its large screen. A 90W power adaptor comes in the box and that is the amount of energy this AIO consumes. Which when compared to a regular desktop is much less. The keyboard and wireless mouse work well and we had no problems with them for regular office use. We did a few office meetings on the Asus AIO 241e, too, and the results here were desirable too. All in all, a good machine for office or entertainment needs.

Verdict

Asus has done a very good job in designing the Asus AIO 241e. We loved the golden look and feel. The machine is quick, loads applications and software swiftly and there is hardly any lag. At Rs 64,990 the machine can very well be your next buy if you are in the market looking for a desktop PC that will cater to your office needs, but not consume a lot of power. The only thing that can be better here is if the RAM was 16GB in the same price bracket.

Pros:

Good looks Decent price Compact in size

Cons:

RAM a bit less No dedicated graphics card For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel. You can also stay up to date using the Gadget Bridge Android App.
