What we like about vivo iQOO Z6 Lite

  • Great performance for the price segment, handling daily tasks and even graphic-intensive games like Call of Duty Mobile smoothly at medium to high settings.
  • Good battery life; the 5000mAh battery can easily last for more than a day with moderate use and provides about 6-7 hours of screen-on time with casual use.
  • 120Hz Full HD+ display provides a very smooth scrolling and viewing experience.
  • The phone has a premium and stylish design with a matte finish that resists fingerprints and a comfortable in-hand feel despite a plastic build.
  • The main 50MP primary camera performs well in daylight, capturing images with good detail and color accuracy.
  • The inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack is appreciated by users.
  • Offers great value for money and is considered one of the best budget-friendly 5G options available.
  • The FuntouchOS 12 (based on Android 12) offers plenty of customization options and features, and the phone is promised two years of major OS updates.

What we don't like about vivo iQOO Z6 Lite

  • A charger is not included in the box, which is a significant disappointment and requires a separate purchase to utilize the 18W charging support.
  • Charging speed is slow, taking around two hours to fully charge with an 18W/20W adapter.
  • Low-light camera performance is poor, with images often appearing blurry and lacking detail.
  • The 2MP macro lens is largely considered a gimmick and fails to take useful or detailed shots.
  • The software (FunTouchOS 12) comes with pre-installed bloatware (unwanted apps), and some users report minor lags in the UI.
  • The device supports only a limited number of 5G bands, which could restrict connectivity options in some regions.
  • The dew-drop notch display design and thick bezels look outdated compared to competitors with punch-hole displays.

Verdict

The vivo iQOO Z6 Lite (6GB + 128GB) is a budget-friendly 5G smartphone powered by the efficient 6nm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 processor and a 5,000mAh battery supporting 18W fast charging. It features a 6.58-inch FHD+ IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate for fluid visuals, alongside a 50MP Eye Autofocus dual rear camera and an 8MP front camera. Main pros include its smooth performance for daily tasks and gaming, impressive 120Hz display at its price point, and a premium-looking 8.25mm slim design. However, notable cons include the lack of a charger in the box, an outdated waterdrop notch design, the absence of an ultra-wide camera lens, and slower-than-average 18W charging speeds.
