SShreyas, 23 Apr 2021Thanks for the information.
There was one more question, though. I checked XDA forums if any... moreYou will experience an UI with no ads unlike Realme, Redmi and Xiamoi UI(s).
Also, your query to custom ROM, till now no custom ROM is available. However, I would suggest you to check either the inbuilt themes and fonts for customizations or wait for Origin OS to be launched in India.

There was one more question, though. I checked XDA forums if anyone is building any custom ROM. But failed to find any. Do you have any information regarding that?

SShreyas, 22 Apr 2021Are there any unwanted notification and advertisement like most of devices?That's the best part.
iQOO's Monster UI & Vivo's FuntouchOS overlays are both devoid of any unwanted ads and notifications. Clean UI.
They are not Realme & Redmi.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts too.. except for the audio part using headphone jack. Audio through headphones is good in most cases but not exceptional. Qualcomm over the years have invested hugely in the audio codecs and their top-of-the-line audio codecs from their Aqstic lineup is even better. At least to my ears.
The Qualcomm Aqstic WCD9341 audio chip paired with Snapdragon 845 on my Meizu 16th (16 in China) easily beats the iQOO3 in the analogue audio quality front be it resolution, transparency ... actually in every aspect. But a lot depends on the implementation of this audio chips. Meizu has the legacy & know-how of portable audio, they know and did everything in the audio hardware implementation on 16th to wring every ounce of performance from WCD9341 with dedicated power supply to the chip. The same WCD9341 not even sounds half as good on the OnePlus devices.

Abhishek16, 04 Apr 2021How is ur experience using ur iqoo 3 for few days ?I am using this phone from 3 months. Below are the performance highlights of different components-
1. Processor- No lags, no stutters, no issues ever faced for a second in any applications. Pure flagship!
2. Software- Loaded with features; needs development though. Comes with pre-installed bloatwares which can't be removed. Have to work upon stable optimization for updates.
3. Camera- Okay. No flagship level performance. A soft tone is there alike vivo and oppo. You have to install gcam for taking killer photos and sometimes need to edit. Can be done better by giving updates and unlocking features like 960 fps in slo-mo.
4. Battery- A favourable one. Easily withstand 1 day with YouTube, surfing, social networking, Call of Duty and watching web series. No issues. Pure flagship! Only takes 15 minutes to get 45%. Enough juice for 15 -16 hours.
5. Display- For me I will always prefer Super Amoled 60 fps over IPS LCD 120 fps.(personal preference) For me display is nice. Has HDR10+ certification. Stunning visuals. Deep blacks are deep blacks.
6. Building quality- Built like a solid tank. Corning Gorilla 6 in both back and front (front tuned by Schott Xensation Up). Premium feel. Pure flagship!
7. Speakers- Could have been better. I mean, single speaker is loud however can't compete with the feel of dual stereo speakers.
Worth mentioning- Has 3.5mm hi-fi DAC audio jack, lack of Dolby audio and vision, lack of high refresh rate display, lack of NFC, has a very strong wifi and call reception, has inbuilt boosters for gaming performance, has dedicated trigger buttons for gaming, has dedicated AI button for assistance, lack of many free inbuilt themes and fonts, nice RAM management, nice storage speed.
My verdict- A value for money flagship!

Abhishek16, 04 Apr 2021How is ur experience using ur iqoo 3 for few days ?So far so good. iQOO 3 is a solid VFM product and will return every cent you paid for it. That's it. What it is lacks is in character, having something unique. Keeping my Vivo NEX S & iQOO side by side, 9 out of 10 times I pick up the Vivo (SD845) over iQOO (SD865) even though the later have better performance.
The moment you hold NEX in you hand, you feel its unique character, the way it deserves to be used. This lures me to use the NEX more. In the end if you want a trustworthy performer with great performance in a compact form factor, look no further than iQOO 3 at the current price.
However I will advice not to vouch for the 5G model, as iQOO 7 will arrive in India end of April, 2021 adorned with SD888 and 5G at less than INR 40K. So next year same time expect the 7 to be hovering around 30K bracket.
