iQOO Z7 review: OIS, an AMOLED and 44 W charging on a tidy sub-$250 all-rounder.
A compact OIS shooter for cheap.
Z7 packs a 64 MP OIS camera and a tidy compact AMOLED into a sub-$250 body — a steadier shooter than most rivals at the price. The 90 Hz panel and single speaker are the give-back. For one-handed comfort and a stable camera on a budget it lands well.
