iQOO Z6 Lite 5G price in India starts from Rs 13,999 for 4GB RAM + 64GB storage in India.

CAMERAS

It comes with 50MP primary sensor and 2MP Depth while there is a 8MP selfie shooter on the front

With your permission, let’s remove the 2MP depth sensor and talk about the 50MP primary sensor,

Now, the 50MP sensor does take good images under good lighting, the dynamic range was kind of okay and the details are also there.

The sensor is trying to soften the images and adding a bit of extra white colors on human skin, so yes, you will look more bright and more white.

The night mode is doing its job but still, the images under low lights had noise, and again, the colors were saturated, just like Vivo smartphones.

The 8MP selfie shooter was kind of okay, it is taking white images, I mean, you don’t even have to apply the filter to post on Instagram.

As I have said, cameras are a weak part of iQOO Z6 Lite 5G but still, they’re not the worst too. They’re useable when there is good light but if there is not enough light then, try not to use the cameras.

Display

The phone comes with a 6.58-inches 120Hz LCD display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and 460nits brightness.

Now, if you’re wondering why this smartphone is looking too familiar is because iQOO has just copied the design of the iQOO Z6 5G.

The IQOO Z6 Lite 5G has an iconic waterdrop notch which doesn’t look good at all, IQOO should have gone with a punch hole but they didn’t want to work much, so they just used the design they already had and because of that the save a little bit of money.

Now, the screen brightness could have been better, sometimes when using a smartphone outdoors, it gets hard to read small text.

However, the iQOO Z6 Lite 5G has a good LCD panel which could have been better.

Performance

This will be the selling point of the iQOO Z6 Lite 5G, so let’s talk about it…

As I have said, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 has a 15% faster CPU and 10% better GPU compared to Snapdragon 480+. It’s also made on 6nm architecture which means, this is a power-efficient processor.

You will be able to play games like Apex Legends, COD Mobile, and PUBG New State at 50fps. I didn’t notice frame drop during the gameplay but of course, if you play for a long time then you will notice frame drops here and there.

The device comes with a full Full of Bloatware which can be uninstalled but still, you have to go through this even after paying Rs 13999.

In short, if you wanted a 5G smartphone under Rs 15000 and if you don’t care much about the Fun Touch OS then yes, you can consider the newly launched iQOO Z6 Lite 5G.

Audio

The IQOO Z6 Lite 5G doesn’t have stereo speakers, the single bottom speaker does work but again, it is a single speaker.

Battery

The IQOO Z6 Lite 5G comes with a 5,000 mAh battery with 18W charging support. The 18W charger will take about 2 hours to charge from 0 to 100%.

Overall, the battery should last for the day because of the processor but in the end, it depends on you, and how you use your smartphone every day.

Concluding everything from price to specs, the iQOO Z6 Lite 5G is a good option for those who are looking for a budget 5G smartphone and don’t care much about cameras and the build quality.
