iQOO's upcoming Z11 for India is generating buzz with its unique design and specifications. Unlike its Chinese and Malaysian counterparts, the Indian variant features a horizontal "Skyline Camera Module" reminiscent of Google’s Pixel phones.
The phone is powered by the Dimensity 7500 Turbo, making it the first in India to use this chipset, which is more power-efficient than the previous model.3
Expected specifications include a 1.5K curved OLED display with a refresh rate of 144Hz, a battery capacity between 7,000-8,000mAh, and 90W charging. The main camera is anticipated to be a 50MP OIS unit.4

The pricing is expected to be around ₹35,000, placing it firmly in the mid-range segment. Notably, the phone will also feature an IP69 rating, indicating resistance to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets, a rarity in this price range.
Overall, the iQOO Z11 aims to offer a compelling mix of design, performance, and features for Indian consumers.
“India's Z11 replaces the Dimensity 8500 with the more power-efficient 7500 Turbo and a 7,000–8,000mAh battery, sacrificing China's 9,020mAh cell for a slimmer curved build. The IP69 rating adds high-pressure water-jet resistance while Aurora Green and Celestial Blue color options round out the leak.”
