iQOO Z9 Turbo Expected Launch: Specs, Features, and Easy EMI Options on Bajaj Finserv

The iQOO Z9 Turbo is not your average mid-range phone​. The performance-centric smartphone debuted in China in April last year and is expected to make its way to India soon with the same specs. The Z9 Turbo slots into the iQOO Z9 lineup by introducing some flagship-level features, making it the most interesting phone in the entire Z9 series.​ Its familiar design hides a number of pleasant surprises: high-quality polycarbonate panel, IP64 dust and water-resistant rating, and an extended software update promise​. In other words, the iQOO  Z9 Turbo is built for users who value brute performance along with durability.

On paper, the Z9 Turbo is made to beat the best in the mid-range segment. It boasts a large 6.78-inch 144Hz display, a powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, a 50MP camera with OIS, and a massive 6,000 mAh battery. This means you are getting a device that is as snappy and powerful as any flagship device in the market.

Once the iQOO Z9 Turbo is available in India, you can visit your nearest Bajaj Finserv partner store to buy the handset on Easy EMIs. With flexible tenures, you can select the EMI terms that are convenient for you. Now, let’s explore the features and specifications of the iQOO Z9 Turbo and find out why it’s a standout device.

Eye-catching design that turns heads

Take one glance at the Z9 Turbo, and you will notice it is another masterpiece from iQOO. The phone measures about 8mm in thickness and weighs a mere 195 g​. Yes, it’s super lightweight compared to its mid-range peers. The frame and back are made of high-quality plastic material, which feels like glass. The matte finish at the back adds a premium feel and extra grip​. Available colours in China include Black, Mint, and White, giving users multiple options to choose from. iQOO may bring all three shades to India as well. The camera module is square-shaped, housing two large lenses, and it adds a bit of character to the otherwise simple rear design.

Importantly, the build quality is excellent, as the phone feels solid in hand. The sides have a slight curvature into the back, making the Z9 Turbo comfortable to hold despite its size. The button placement is standard: power and volume on the right, like the other Z9 series phones. You get an under-display fingerprint sensor that works reliably and quickly for unlocking​.

Super bright display with 4500 peak brightness

The iQOO  Z9 Turbo will feature a 6.78-inch Full HD+ display (1260 x 2800 pixels) with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate​. It’s a 10-bit panel, offering vivid colours and good contrast for everyday use. You get to feel the infinite contrast and deep blacks while viewing multimedia content on this AMOLED display. The colour reproduction is rich and accurate thanks to 10-bit colour support (1.07 billion colours). Like other iQOO phones, the Z9 Turbo offers multiple colour modes (Standard, Professional, Bright) to suit different tastes. A high pixel density of 453 ppi ensures text and images are sharp​.

Another highlight of the display is its brightness. The iQOO Z9 Turbo’s screen can reach up to 4,500 nits at peak brightness​, which is rare for a mid-range device. This makes the screen easily viewable in outdoor conditions and direct sunlight. The high refresh rate also means scrolling through apps and web pages feels very fluid. Also, this is great for gaming and general navigation, as the phone can display up to 120 frames per second for compatible content, responding quickly to touches without lag.

Powerful camera that’s second to none

The iQOO Z9 Turbo will surely offer a well-rounded camera setup for its class. On the back, you may get a 50 MP main camera and an 8 MP ultra-wide camera, similar to the Chinese variant. There’s no dedicated depth or macro-only lens as iQOO focuses on the two genuine cameras that matter. For selfies, a single 16 MP front camera resides in a small punch-hole in the display.

The 50 MP main camera will be the star of the show. It uses a large 1/1.95-inch sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, and importantly, it features OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation)​. In daylight, this camera captures photos with excellent detail and dynamic range.

The 8 MP ultra-wide-angle camera will provide a 118° field of view​, which is great for squeezing in landscapes or group shots. The 16 MP front camera is solid for selfies. In daylight, it captures sharp and well-exposed selfies with natural skin tones.

Blazing fast performance

The iQOO Z9 Turbo is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset​, which is also found on the iQOO Neo 10R. This 8-core processor firmly hits the mid-range sweet spot, providing smooth performance in everyday tasks. Paired with 8 GB of RAM (LPDDR4X) and 256 GB of internal storage, the smartphone offers a seamless experience no matter what you throw at it. That said, multitasking is handled well, as the phone keeps several apps in memory without needing to reload.

For gaming, the phone will get an Adreno 735 GPU capable of running popular games at medium to high settings smoothly. Titles like BGMI and Asphalt 9 play without major hiccups. You can even hit 60 fps in many games with tuned settings​. Storage is generous, starting at 256 GB, and if that’s not enough, iQOO is also expected to bring a 512GB variant of the Z9 Turbo in India. All in all, the iQOO Z9 Turbo will deliver reliable, lag-free performance for everyday use, with enough power to satisfy gamers and heavy users in its price bracket​.

Long-lasting battery

Big phones often come with big batteries, and the iQOO Z9 Turbo will be no exception. It’s likely to house a sizable 6,000 mAh battery, which has become a standard capacity in this segment. It’s a device you can trust to get you through a busy day without scrambling for a charger. When you do need to recharge, the device supports 80W fast charging.
