As the iQOO is aimed at mobile gamers, it offers “super liquid cooling” that produces a vapor chamber. Also, there are features aplenty in the phone to boost performance, like Cooling Turbo, AI Turbo, Net Turbo, Center Turbo, and Game Turbo, wrapped neatly in functionality known as Multi-Turbo. These will enhance app startup by as much as 30 percent, frame rate with more than 70 percent, in addition to automatic switch between 4G and Wi-Fi for non-stop gaming.
The 44W quick-charging capability lets you charge 50 percent of the phone’s 4000-mAh battery within 15 minutes, 85 percent within 30 minutes, and a full charge within 45 minutes.
