This phone is a beast lol. I think it will last another 2 or 3 years.
I have been using this phone for the past 2 years and i love it. I bought it for 25k and at this price it's tremendous value for money. Good camera, good charging, good design and amazing phone cover. I dropped it hundreds of times but still no scratches. My next phone too will be an iqoo.

I think i would not be able to suggest the best version right now, really sorry for that! I know android 12 drains more battery but as far as I know, android 10 was way better with battery compared to 11 and 12. I haven't been able to test the battery extensively and the latest version (8.70.38) works fine for me if you ask. You should wait for one more update rather than downgrading the device.

Here is the list of bugs I encountered- 1st. Camera Issue, camera is confused whether it should switch to optical zoom camera or main camera. 2nd. Video recording quality degraded, after updating to Android 12 video recording in low light has become darker. 3rd. Portrait pic quality is also degraded, edge detection is worst. 4th. Fingerprint sensor don't work properly. In Android 11 if the phone sense little bit of movement, fingerprint display area gets activated but in Android 12 it got worse. Many times it fails to detect my fingerprint correctly. 5th. Phone freezes while multitasking, while gaming or editing. 6th. Dark mode in some apps not supported, like PicsArt don't give the proper color and style. While it works properly in light mode. 7th. Battery is draining fast. Android 11 has given me 6hrs screen on time, while 12 I've to charge twice a day. 8th. No refinement in notification shade. Clunky notification shade.

That's a huge list of bugs! I did face some of these bugs myself and iqoo is not even thinking about this device right now, and funtouch is out of the equation. I hope they just change their mind. Now coming to the points you mentioned.. Camera is not one of the strongest points of iqoo 3 but it gets the job done..photos look good overall and video recording is also fine..low light is a problem. And I always had an issue with iqoo ui, it's outright ugly be it the notification bar or anything else, it doesn't look good.. I don't know why you faced an issue with dark mode. Is dark mode not working at all in PicsArt? Fingerprint sensor has been working fine for me and I did not face any issues with gaming or multitasking. I would recommend trying a factory reset once if you haven't done that yet! I will see what I can do with the tweet thing!

I don't think so. The updates are mostly going to stop and I think android 13 will be the final os update for iqoo z5. It's not worth 19.5k right now. It would be better to go for a more recent device around the same price range if you are planning to use it for the next 2 years..

This phone is exactly what is wrong with Chinese phones. Good hardware but bad software. This phone has been stuck on the same features and UI that it got on day one to this day, nothing new introduced, literally nothing. UI is not as cancerous as miui but seeing the same thing for 3 years is getting tiring at this point. Even my brother's 12k realme phone got more updates than this. Otherwise the phone is Rock solid, no lag, no heating no bugs and ultra stable. Such a shame that they didn't even gave Funtouch 11 update, let alone the 12 or 13.
