Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 sits at the core of this one, paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, which is a decent amount of headroom for a phone at this price point. The 6.78-inch AMOLED panel runs at 144Hz and hits 4500 nits peak brightness, with a 1260 x 2800 resolution that works out to roughly 453 ppi. Stereo speakers back up the display for media use.
Battery capacity comes in at 6000mAh, and 80W wired charging means you're not waiting long to top up. The rear setup is a 50MP main sensor with PDAF paired with a 2MP depth lens, while the front camera is a 16MP shooter. IP64 dust and water resistance is a useful inclusion that not every phone in this segment bothers with. iQOO Z9 price in Malaysia starts from RM1149.
Rounding things out: NFC, an infrared port, dual-band Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX Lossless support. It runs Android 14 with OriginOS 4 layered on top, and comes in Breeze Green or Phantom Black.
