iQOO U1 — In-Depth Analysis
The iQOO U1 houses a 4500mAh Li-Ion cell — a solid capacity for most daily usage patterns. Expect screen-on times of 6-8 hours depending on your usage mix of social media, browsing, and media consumption.
Wired charging tops out at 18W (Qualcomm Quick Charge). While not the fastest, it keeps charging times reasonable for overnight or desk-charging habits. Specifically, 0-50% takes approximately 55 min minutes, with a full charge completing in around 120 min minutes.
The charging ecosystem extends beyond basic fill-ups: battery health management (Basic). The battery health features are particularly noteworthy — they help maintain long-term battery capacity by intelligently managing charge cycles, meaning the iQOO U1 should hold its charge capacity better over 2-3 years of ownership.
A charger is included in the box — a welcome inclusion that many flagships have dropped. This means you can achieve the full advertised charging speed out of the box without buying a separate adapter.
