IQOO 9 SE

IQOO recently launched its premium device as IQOO 9 SE. It is launched in under the 35k price segment in India, which is quite good for a powerful chipset that it is offering. So, the question arises is this really a good mid-budget all round smartphone? Well, let's take a look together with this complied review on its every spec.

The smartphone is said to look similar to its predecessor IQOO 7. Is it true? What are the major upgrades and where the smartphone can be improvised? Let's find out together!

Design

The design of iQ009 SE looks quite good and premium. It sports a glass sandwich design with a plastic frame which feels premium to hold. The glass back flaunts a matte finish which makes it look rich and sophisticated, especially the Space Fusion Black variant. Although the looks on any smartphone are very subjective, however I really loved that this finish isn't a fingerprint magnet. It also has squat sensation up glass protection, so that is a thumbs up!

Furthermore, it does looks like Iqoo7 but has a slightly changed a camera module at the back. The back panel curls into the frame for a better grip and feel in the hand. The phone is also fairly sleek with 8.3 millimeters thickness and the weight is fine with 197 grams. Some other details on this includes, no microSD slot and no wireless charging as well. There is also no 3.5mm headphone jack, however I could still bundle up the headphone jack dongle (USB Type-C converter) that came inside the box.

Iqoo9 SE is also ip52 rated for splash resistance and it flaunts stereo speakers on the bottom. It also features an extra speaker in the earpiece to give out ultimate stereo speaker experience. The power and volume buttons are both clicky and accessible. I didn't find any lag or slow responses.
