The vivo iQOO Z7s 256GB is Vivo's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.38 inches, 98.3 cm2 (~84.1% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM6375 Snapdragon 695 5G (6 nm) chipset. It comes with a 4500 mAh battery. At AED 1,100 in the UAE and ₹16,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The vivo iQOO Z7s 256GB excels with its 64MP main camera featuring OIS and PDAF, delivering sharp, stable shots in low light, and its 90Hz AMOLED display hits 1300 nits peak brightness—perfect for outdoor visibility. The 44W charger delivers 50% in 24 minutes, a rare speed at this price. It’s built for budget-conscious buyers who prioritize fast charging and bright, responsive screens over flagship chips. The Snapdragon 695 5G handles daily tasks but struggles with sustained gaming, throttling after 15 minutes of intense use. NFC is absent, limiting contactless payments in UAE’s cashless ecosystems. In UAE at AED 1100, it’s competitive because few phones under AED 1200 offer 90Hz AMOLED and 44W charging. In India at ₹16999, it’s overpriced—Redmi Note 12 Pro+ offers better cameras and faster charging for the same cost. Skip if you need NFC or long gaming sessions.
