Design and display
We have reached that saturation point in the smartphone world where almost all devices look the same. That is not to say that the iQOO 3 looks bland. A shiny glass layer adorns the back of the phone while the camera array on the top-right is slightly raised which makes the phone wobble when placed on a flat surface. The quad-camera module itself seems very familiar to the one seen on the Samsung Galaxy A51 (review) or the Vivo V17 (review), both of which have an L-shaped housing for the rear cameras. The IQOO branding can be seen on the bottom left. The colour scheme for our review unit is called Tornado Black, which has a dual-tone colour shift between black and purple. There is also an ostentatious Volcano Orange coloured variant as well which, to put it mildly, is not that good looking.



The iQOO 3 feels quite bulky in my hand which is surprising since it does not pack in a mammoth battery. The phone is also on the thicker side with the display slightly raised from the frame of the phone instead of sitting flush like most premium/affordable flagship phones. However, the curved back gives a good enough grip on the device even though the protruding display might feel a bit uncomfortable to hold. I would still recommend that you slap on the translucent but very durable case that IQOO has provided inside the box.

The iQOO 3 has a large 6.44-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution. As with other Samsung panels in high-end phones, the iQOO 3 also boasts of a stunning and colour accurate display. The phone is said to reach a peak brightness of 1200 nits which is even more than that of the latest iPhones. While I was not able to quantifiably test this claim, I saw no legibility issues even in the harshest of sunlight. The display supports 100 percent sRGB Color Gamut which ensures crisp colours and deeper blacks than a standard IPS LCD display. iQOO has gone for a punch-hole implementation for housing the selfie shooter and it is said to be the smallest in the segment. Whether that claim is true or not, I never found the punch-hole obtrusive enough to disturb my viewing experience. Really the only gripe I have about this fantastic display is that it only refreshes at 60Hz instead of the 90 or even 120Hz refresh rates that are out there. On the plus side though the screen boasts 180Hz touch response rate, higher than most competing smartphones which have 120Hz. Basically it means that the phone will register your touch faster.



Cameras
The iQOO 3, like many smartphones in the mid-range category, boasts of a quad-camera setup. The L-shaped housing has a 48MP primary sensor with f/1.8 aperture, 13MP ultra-wide lens with an f/2.4 aperture, 13MP telephoto sensor with f/2.2 aperture and 2MP depth sensor. On the face of it, the camera hardware is very similar to smartphones in the budget category but the image processing happening in the background is where the magic happens.



Clicking daylight photos is something all budget flagships/mid-range smartphones are doing pretty great and it is the same with the IQOO 3. Images are extremely crisp and detailed even without the UHD 48MP mode on. The phone handles exposure calibration extremely well with a good dynamic range in the photos across various lighting conditions. Some points can be docked for slight over-saturation of greens and reds, but to any normal person, it might not even be noticeable.



As far as other modes go, the ultra-wide lens happens to have a 123-degree field of view which encapsulates a lot more in the frame than the primary sensor. However, it does come at the cost of detailing and skewed colour temperatures, something that plagues almost all the ultra-wide sensors. The ultra-wide lens also doubles up as the macro lens as well and iQOO has said that it could focus at objects up to 2.5cm. Detailing and focus are again quite remarkable on the phone but it requires a lot of light, so using it in the night time is not ideal.




Speaking of which, the iQOO 3 also has a dedicated Night mode for low-light photography. Fundamentally it is the same as the night mode that Vivo offers on its mid-range/budget flagship smartphones. However, the Spectra 480 image signal processor employed by the Snapdragon 865 SoC gives extremely pleasing results. While the focus could be considered soft in some photos, the detailing and exposure are quite commendable. Varied conditions of dim lighting churned out more than satisfactory results while flash photography worked as expected.
