The iQOO Z9x 64GB has been thoroughly tested by the StoriesKettle team across multiple real-world scenarios in Pakistan — and we are pleased to report it delivers on most of its promises for budget buyers at PKR 45,870.
Display
The 6.72" display on the iQOO Z9x 64GB was one of the first things our StoriesKettle team noticed during testing. It delivers vibrant, punchy colors that make Pakistani dramas, YouTube shorts, and Instagram reels look fantastic. We tested outdoor visibility under Karachi's intense summer sun and were genuinely impressed — the screen remained readable at full brightness without squinting. Whether you are video-calling family or binge-watching content during a power outage, this display handles it well.
Camera Performance
Camera performance was a central focus of StoriesKettle's iQOO Z9x 64GB review. The 50MP main sensor surprised us with its daylight performance — shots taken at Lahore's Badshahi Mosque and Karachi's Sea View came out detailed and well-exposed without heavy editing. Portrait mode handles Pakistani skin tones accurately without the over-smoothing that ruins natural skin detail. Wedding and event photography, which is huge in Pakistan, is handled confidently by this camera system.
Performance & Storage
Under the hood, the iQOO Z9x 64GB runs on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 with 6GB RAM — a combination StoriesKettle tested specifically for PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty, and the multitasking demands of running WhatsApp, Instagram, and a browser simultaneously. Gaming performance was smooth at medium-high settings in our tests. The 64GB storage fills up slowly even with heavy media libraries, and the phone did not overheat noticeably during 45-minute gaming sessions.
Battery Life
In StoriesKettle's assessment, the iQOO Z9x 64GB's 6000mAh power cell is one of its most competitive features. We tested battery drain specifically during video streaming — a popular activity in Pakistan — and found the phone lasted significantly longer than several more expensive competitors in the same test. The battery also handles heat well; even after a two-hour session of GPS navigation during Karachi summer, battery health remained stable without the phone becoming uncomfortably warm.
StoriesKettle Verdict & Price in Pakistan
The iQOO Z9x 64GB earns a StoriesKettle score of 50/100, reflecting a thoughtfully designed budget device that serves Pakistani buyers well at PKR 45,870. Based on our independent testing — which is never sponsored by any brand — this phone delivers consistent performance across all major use cases. Our team at StoriesKettle considers it a safe purchase for buyers who want reliability over gimmicks. Check current availability and PTA tax status before ordering from grey market sources.
