iQOO has expanded its Z series lineup in China with the launch of the iQOO Z11 Turbo, a new smartphone that brings near-flagship specifications to the upper-midrange segment. The device is already on sale via the Vivo China online store and comes in four colour options: Floating Light, Halo Pink, Midnight Black and Sky White.

The iQOO Z11 Turbo succeeds last year’s Z10 Turbo, which was not released in India, making the handset’s availability in other markets uncertain. In China, however, the phone positions itself as a performance-focused option with a large battery and high-resolution camera system. Take a look at the detailed specs, pricing, and availability below.

Display and design

The handset features a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. It offers up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness and supports HDR10+, 4,320Hz PWM dimming and DC dimming. The panel is protected by Schott Shield glass.

The phone measures 7.9mm in thickness, weighs 202g and is built around an aluminium alloy middle frame. The Midnight BlackBlack variant comes with a fibreglass rear panel, while the remaining colour options feature a glass back. The device also carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

Performance and software

Powering the iQOO Z11 Turbo is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, paired with an Adreno 840 GPU. It is offered with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.

For gaming, the phone includes a dedicated Q2 esports chip and an Ice Dome vapour chamber cooling system. The handset runs Android 16 with OriginOS 6 on top.

Cameras

The iQOO Z11 Turbo sports a dual rear camera setup headlined by a 200MP primary sensor with optical image stabilisation and an f/1.8 aperture. The main camera is claimed to support up to 4x lossless zoom. It is paired with an 8MP ultra-wide camera.

On the front, the device features a 32MP camera for selfies and video calls.

Battery and connectivity

One of the phone’s standout features is its 7,600mAh battery, which supports 100W fast charging.

Connectivity options include 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC and support for multiple GPS satellite systems. Other features include a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, infrared sensor and stereo speakers.

Price and availability

The iQOO Z11 Turbo starts at CNY 2,699 (roughly Rs 34,999) for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant. Pricing for other configurations is as follows:

16GB + 256GB: CNY 2,999 (around Rs 39,000)

12GB + 512GB: CNY 3,199 (around Rs 42,000)

16GB + 512GB: CNY 3,499 (around Rs 45,000)

16GB + 1TB: CNY 3,999 (around Rs 52,000)

At these price points, the iQOO Z11 Turbo competes with devices such as the Realme 16 Pro+ and OnePlus 15R in India, should it launch there. It seeks to differentiate itself with a significantly larger battery and a higher-resolution primary camera than many of its rivals.
