iQOO has officially launched the iQOO Z11 in India, adding another performance-focused model to its popular Z-series lineup.
Starting at ₹34,999, the new smartphone combines MediaTek's Dimensity 7500 Turbo chipset with a 144Hz 1.5K curved AMOLED display, a large 7,050mAh battery and a 50MP Sony main camera with optical image stabilisation. (Gadgets 360)
The official launch follows weeks of teasers and specification reveals. SpecFront previously covered everything we knew about the iQOO Z11 ahead of its August 20 India launch, including its new design, expected hardware and battery details.
Now that the phone is official, here's what buyers actually get.
iQOO Z11 Price in India
The iQOO Z11 starts at ₹34,999 for the base 8GB RAM and 128GB storage model.
The complete pricing is:
Variant | India Price |
|---|
8GB + 128GB | ₹34,999 |
8GB + 256GB | ₹36,999 |
12GB + 256GB | ₹39,999 |
The handset comes in Celestial Blue and Aurora Green colour options.
Sales are scheduled to begin on August 25, with the phone available through Amazon and iQOO's online store. (Gadgets 360)
That puts the Z11 firmly in India's competitive upper mid-range segment, where specifications alone aren't enough — pricing against established alternatives will be equally important.
Dimensity 7500 Turbo Makes Its India Debut
One of the Z11's biggest highlights is its processor.
The smartphone is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 7500 Turbo, paired with up to 12GB RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. (Gadgets 360)
iQOO is clearly positioning the phone around performance, particularly for gaming, multitasking and other sustained workloads.
The handset also uses a 3,800 sq mm vapour chamber cooling system to help control temperatures under heavier loads. (91mobiles)
As always, manufacturer benchmark numbers should be treated as performance indicators rather than substitutes for independent testing. Real-world gaming stability, thermal performance and battery consumption will ultimately matter more.
144Hz 1.5K Curved AMOLED Display
The front of the Z11 is dominated by a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 2800 × 1260 resolution and refresh rate of up to 144Hz. (Gadgets 360)
iQOO has opted for a 3D curved panel, giving the Z11 a more premium appearance than many performance-focused phones in its price range.
The high refresh rate should also appeal to users who prioritise smooth scrolling and gaming, although supported frame rates will still depend on individual games and applications.
Despite its large battery, the Z11 measures around 7.99mm thick and weighs approximately 199g. (91mobiles)
A Huge 7,050mAh Battery
Battery life is another major part of the Z11's appeal.
iQOO has fitted the phone with a 7,050mAh battery, substantially larger than the capacities traditionally found in slim mid-range smartphones.
Charging is handled by 44W FlashCharge. (Gadgets 360)
Interestingly, bigger doesn't automatically mean bigger than its predecessor. The iQOO Z10 featured a 7,300mAh battery, so the Z11's 7,050mAh capacity is actually slightly smaller.
The new phone instead appears to focus on balancing endurance with a thinner design, faster display and upgraded processing hardware.
Real-world battery tests will be particularly interesting given the combination of a 144Hz AMOLED panel and the new Dimensity chipset.
50MP Sony Camera With OIS
Around the back, the Z11 gets a dual-camera setup led by a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor with optical image stabilisation.
That main camera is joined by an 8MP ultra-wide camera, while a 32MP front-facing camera handles selfies and video calls. (Gadgets 360)
The ultra-wide camera is a useful upgrade over the low-resolution secondary sensors commonly found on performance-focused mid-range phones.
Both the front and rear cameras can also record 4K video at 30fps, according to launch coverage. (91mobiles)
The combination doesn't turn the Z11 into a dedicated camera flagship, but the Sony OIS main sensor and proper ultra-wide camera make the setup more versatile on paper.
Android 16 and OriginOS 6
The iQOO Z11 ships with OriginOS 6 based on Android 16.
Software features include Google's Circle to Search alongside iQOO's expanding collection of AI-assisted tools. (91mobiles)
More importantly for buyers planning to keep the phone for several years, iQOO is promising three Android version upgrades and five years of security updates. (91mobiles)
The handset also carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, strengthening its durability credentials. (FoneArena)
Where the iQOO Z11 Fits
At ₹34,999, the Z11 isn't trying to be the cheapest 5G phone available.
Instead, iQOO is betting on a combination of performance, battery endurance and display quality.
The Dimensity 7500 Turbo, 144Hz 1.5K AMOLED panel, 7,050mAh battery, Sony OIS camera and IP68/IP69 protection give the phone a strong specification sheet for its starting price.
It also arrives during an unusually busy period for new phones in India. SpecFront's major smartphone launches in India in August 2026 roundup covers the other major devices competing for buyers' attention this month.
The ₹34,999 base model looks particularly important because moving up to ₹39,999 puts the Z11 against an increasingly broad range of premium mid-range alternatives.
For buyers who prioritise gaming, a high-refresh-rate display and long battery life, however, the iQOO Z11 has plenty going for it on paper.
The next question is whether the Dimensity 7500 Turbo can deliver sustained performance without sacrificing the battery endurance promised by that huge 7,050mAh cell.
The answer should become clearer once independent gaming, camera and battery testing begins after the phone goes on sale on August 25. (Gadgets 360)
