iQOO is gearing up to expand its Z series with the new iQOO Z11 smartphone, following the recent launch of the Z11 Turbo in China. Early details about the base model have now surfaced, promising standout specs including a high-refresh-rate display and a large battery.
The scoop comes from iQOO’s product manager, Xing Cheng, who shared a teaser on Weibo, China’s leading social platform. Alongside the announcement, a render reveals the Z11’s design with a square camera module on the back, featuring a vertically stacked dual-camera setup.
The headline feature is a 165Hz high-refresh-rate display, a spec that’s rare even among gaming-centric phones. Complementing that, the Z11 boasts a colossal 9020mAh battery – the largest cell iQOO has ever packed into a device, promising serious endurance for heavy users.
iQOO also confirmed tentative pricing for the Chinese market: between 2000 and 3000 yuan (about $280 to $420). Pre-orders are live now via iQOO’s official online store in China.
For comparison, most flagship phones from global brands like Samsung and Apple top out at 120Hz displays and batteries in the 4000mAh to 5000mAh range, making the Z11’s specs especially notable for users chasing high refresh rates and extended battery life in a budget to midrange segment.
As the iQOO Z11 nears launch, it will be interesting to see how its aggressive battery and display specs translate into real-world performance. The phone seems poised to appeal to gamers and power users who need all-day stamina without compromise.
