As a "little superhero of performance", the iQOO Z series has always brought users a more flagship experience at a relatively affordable price. The previous generation of Z7 upgraded the flash charging to the 120W power of its flagship counterpart, so that more friends can enjoy the convenience brought by technology. This time, the new iQOO Z8 will look at the point of enhancement to the performance, I believe that from the preview also understand, this phone to create the strongest Dimensity 8200, so how is the actual performance? Let's take a look with this article.
Tenguet tuning to see the blue factory, Dimensity 8200 the strongest in its class
iQOO Z8 is equipped with the more familiar Dimensity 8200 chip, which uses a 4nm process, the classic 1+3+4 architecture, A78 core up to 3.1GHz, can bring more high performance output at lower power consumption.
More surprisingly, iQOO Z8's AnTuTu V10 test can run to 95W+ points, I also looked at the previous cell phone equipped with the Dimensity 8200 chip, the average score is basically in the 87W points up and down, I have to say that the blue factory on the Tengui chip tuning is still quite strong.
Based on this score, we also measured the results of GeekBench6, and found that the single-core score of 1271 points is higher than normal, but the multi-core score is the same. The iQOO Z8 is indeed a much better performer, and is indeed the most powerful of the Dimensity 8200 models.
Now that the score data is out of the way, let's get right to the gameplay. We tested two games, Honor of Kings and ProtoGods, at a room temperature of 26 degrees.
First, we tested "Honor of Kings" with the image quality set to very high (120 fps) + HD, and the average frame rate was 119.7 fps after half an hour of testing, excluding the dropped frames in the middle of the game change. As you can see, the iQOO Z8 is still able to cope with low load games like King of Glory, and even in group battles, there is no obvious lag.

Let's briefly talk about the cooling of the iQOO Z8. iQOO Z8 is equipped with a 3002mm² large-area VC liquid cooling system, and the bottom of the device is equipped with a notch to increase water storage, which improves the recycling efficiency of the heat sink, and in turn improves the cooling efficiency of the phone.
Back to the game test, iQOO Z8 after half an hour of "Honor of Kings" test body front and back temperature of 36 degrees, the actual experience is only a little warm, does not affect the game experience in the slightest.

When it came to the more loaded ProtoGods, we adjusted the image quality to very high and set the frame rate to 60 fps, and the average frame rate for a half-hour run through Sumeru City was 55.9 fps. Perhaps because of the full quality, Sumeru is also the most heavily loaded of all the maps, so lag is more noticeable. The highest body temperature was 42.6 degrees, a noticeable temperature rise, but acceptable considering the performance of the Dimensity 8200.

I have to say that the high load game "ProtoGods" is quite a challenge for the Tenguin 8200, but one thing that is worth praising is that the iQOO Z8 doesn't lower the frame rate because of the higher load of the game, but rather brings a higher frame rate performance as much as possible, so it is evident that the Blue Factory's tuning for the Tenguin 8200 is still very aggressive. For those who like to play ProtoGod to have a smoother picture, you can adjust the frame rate to 45 frames, the game experience will be more comfortable.
Flagship 120W flash charging, battery life is also long-lasting.
The iQOO Z8 is still equipped with the leading 120W ultra-fast flash charger in its price range, with two selectable gears, "Fast Mode" and "Ultra-Fast Mode", the former brings better temperature control while charging quickly, and the latter is full-speed charging, but the temperature will rise accordingly.
In "Ultra Fast Mode", the iQOO Z8 charges the equivalent 5000mAh battery to 24% capacity in 5 minutes, 46% in 10 minutes, and finally to 100% in 27 minutes. This is a very good result, even though it's on par with the previous generation Z7, and it's also a leader in this price range.
It's also worth noting that the iQOO Z8 supports the Fusion Fast Charging protocol, which allows the Z8 to be fast-charged up to 30W using a third-party charger that supports this protocol. The original 120W Gallium Nitride small charger also supports 65W PD protocol, travel with a charger can be fast-charging cell phones, tablets, computers, to reduce the burden on the backpack.
Travel is more worried about a problem, is the TWS headset is out of power, out of the door can not listen to the song, iQOO Z8 can support up to 7.5W wired reverse charging, you can charge the TWS headset, and even for other cell phones for emergency charging, reverse charging this feature may seem less practical, but in critical moments is still very useful.
High-value appearance, image surprise
iQOO Z8 has changed its colorful color scheme to a more simple design and purer color scheme, with three options: "Moon Porcelain White", "Hoshino Green" and "Obsidian Black". We have the main color "Moon Porcelain White", as the name suggests, this color scheme uses the rare glaze condensation process of the $1,000 price range, which replicates the color and texture of white porcelain on the back of the phone, and is also very comfortable in the hand.
Not only that, iQOO Z8's lens module also adopts a one-piece porcelain paste process, the lens module's metal decorative ring and the lens of the double ring to achieve seamless integration, similar to the crater shape. Simply put, iQOO Z8 from the color scheme compared to the previous generation is more low-key, the design is also more simple, I personally prefer this kind of minimalist design, no fancy elements but can create a higher value of the body, worthy of praise.
On the front of the body, iQOO Z8 adopts a 6.64-inch LCD screen, supporting a high refresh rate of up to 120Hz. In the screen refresh rate options, in addition to the 60Hz and 120Hz options, there is also a 90Hz option, which gives users more choices in terms of smoother screen experience or longer battery life.
From the DisPlayCAL test, iQOO Z8 screen can reach 99.2% of the sRGB color gamut and 94% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, the view is quite good. The newly upgraded front color temperature sensor allows the iQOO Z8 LCD screen to support the ambient color temperature adaptive function, which allows the phone to dynamically adjust the warm and cool colors of the screen in different environments, making the viewing experience more realistic.
Image, iQOO Z8 continues to popularize the 64-megapixel ultra-clear main camera, and support for OIS optical stabilization, to ensure that the daytime better out of the film at the same time, night shooting can also be more stable. From the sample pictures, the color saturation of the daytime scene is on the high side, compared to the human eye perception will have more intense colors, more pleasing to the eye.

Night scene shooting, the colors return to nature, more in line with the human eye, although in darker environments still need you to hold the camera steady, but the final quality of the film is still good, the sky is also relatively pure, as a casual record of life is also very enough.

Summary
iQOO Z8 has the most emphasized Dimensity 8200 chip, 120W ultra-fast flash charging can greatly alleviate the battery life anxiety, there are few LCD screen, simple design to bring a higher value of the body. 3.5mm headphone jack, full-scene NFC and infrared remote control can enhance your life experience.
The highlight of iQOO Z8 is still the blue factory tuned Dimensity 8200 chip, from the 95W+ AnTuTu score can also be seen that the blue factory tuning is very aggressive, other things such as 120W flash charging, excellent LCD screen, and 64 megapixel OIS main camera makes iQOO Z8 in the 1000 yuan price range of cell phones still have a very strong competitiveness. Looking back at the question asked in the title, the iQOO Z8 does indeed deliver by creating the strongest Dimensity 8200!
