The official presentation of the powerful and inexpensive sub-flagship smartphone iQOO Z11 Turbo took place. The novelty focuses on performance, autonomy, and gaming functionality, offering features that were recently available only in flagship models.

What is known

The smartphone is equipped with the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, manufactured using the 3nm process technology, and demonstrates a result of over 3.59 million points in AnTuTu, making it a class leader. The additional gaming coprocessor Q2, borrowed from the iQOO 15 series, ensures stable FPS and reduces heating during long gaming sessions.

The novelty received a 6.59” AMOLED display with a resolution of 1.5K and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. The peak brightness reaches 5000 nits, and PWM regulation at 4320 Hz reduces eye strain. In some configurations, the smartphone received up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of built-in storage.

The camera module is equipped with a main sensor of 200 MP — a first for the Z11 line, making the smartphone attractive for mobile photography.

One of the key advantages was the battery with a capacity of 7600 mAh supporting fast 100 W charging. The device also offers bypass charging for games and stable operation at extreme temperatures — from -20 to +40°C. The body is protected according to IP68/IP69 standards, which is rare for mid-range devices.

The iQOO Z11 Turbo is certified for KPL esports tournaments, supports 144 FPS in Honor of Kings, and also offers 4D vibration and lighting effects in open-world games.

The sales of iQOO Z11 Turbo have already started in China. The gadget's price is from $345 (with national subsidy it is even less).

The company did not announce plans for the model's release on the international market.
