Let’s delve into the further details of the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ and also discuss its expected price in Nepal.
iQOO Z9 Turbo+ Overview
Design and Display
Design-wise the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ is pretty much the same as its lower variant. It has a curved back panel while the edges and display are flat. It comes in Moon Shadow Titanium, Starlight White, and Midnight Black colours. Each choice has different kinds of reflective patterns on the back. On the front, this phone has ultra-narrow bezels measuring 1.54 mm, except for the chin, which is comparatively a lot thicker. It is also IP65-rated and can withstand exposure to rain for up to 12 hours.
Talking of the screen, the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ has a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with CSOT C8 lighting material. It stretches 1.5K in resolution and offers a 144Hz refresh rate and 4,500 nits peak brightness.

The display supports touch commands with wet hands and has bagged SGS low blue light and low flicker certification.
Performance
For the performance, this phone packs the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, which is one of the most powerful processors on the planet. It is coupled with an in-house Q1 chip, which is basically an independent graphics card. You also get up to 16GB of four-channel LPDDR5x memory, which can be doubled virtually. With all this combined, the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ supports ray tracing and gaming at 1.5K@144FPS. Not only that, this phone also allows you to boost the frame rate of over 100 game titles from native 60FPS to 144FPS.
With all the emphasis on gaming, it comes with up to 512GB UFS 4.0 storage so that you can have all your favourite games on the go. In the meantime, it houses a 6,043 mm² vapour chamber liquid cooling system that covers four major heat sources. As such, it keeps the phone’s overall temperature regulated and ensures stable performance for extended periods. Keeping everything powered is a 6,400 mAh single-cell battery with 80W charging support. It features the BlueVolt battery technology that crams high capacity in a relatively slim frame.
