iQOO Z11 Turbo Goes Official in China with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5

After almost a month of building hype, iQOO has finally made the Z11 Turbo official in China. This is the brand's fresh take on repositioning the "Z" series from the mid-range segment to a more premium category. The iQOO Z11 Turbo brings some noteworthy upgrades like a powerful Snapdragon processor, faster display and a bigger battery. 

iQOO Z11 Turbo Specifications and Features

The all-new iQOO Z11 Turbo now boasts premium materials and a more mature look, with its squircle camera deco and horizontally aligned dual cameras. iQOO is calling this the "porthole-style" design. The frame is now made of metal and the back is made of AG Glass, which is a step-up from the all-plastic build of the iQOO Z10 Turbo. 

At the front, the iQOO Z11 Turbo is treated to a 6.59-inch 1.5K 144 Hz TCL C9 LTPS OLED display. It brings all the bells and whistles like 100% DCI-P3 coverage, 4,320 Hz PWM dimming and 5,000 nits of peak brightness. This screen is wrapped around an 8.1mm-thick body that weighs around 206 grams.

Underneath, the smartphone is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, paired with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.1 storage.

On top of it, it ships with all the Android 16-based OriginOS 6 features out of the box, like a new transparent UI with translucent textures and elements, a new Blue River Smooth Engine for fluid animations, updated Atomic Island and more.

Another area where the iQOO Z11 Turbo shines is in the camera department. This is the first Z-branded phone to ship with a 200 MP Samsung HP5 main camera, paired with an 8 MP OV08F10 ultra-wide angle lens and an upgraded 32 MP GC32E1 selfie shooter. The smartphone can even record 4K @ 60 FPS videos, making it an ideal choice for content creators.

In terms of battery, the iQOO Z11 Turbo is fitted with a massive 7,600mAh capacity with 100W fast USB-C charging support. The phone also comes with PD2.0 protocol, PPS charging support, Bypass charging and reverse wired charging capabilities. However, there is no mention of wireless charging support for the phone.

Apart from that, it also gets an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, a stereo speaker setup, dual IP68 + IP69 rating, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, an Infrared port, GPS, dual SIM 5G and a USB-C 2.0 port.  

Coming to the pricing, the iQOO Z11 Turbo starts in China from 2,399 Chinese yuan (approximately Rs 31,000) for the 12 GB + 256 GB model. It also comes in four other RAM and storage configurations, with the top-end 16 GB + 1 TB model costing 3,699 Chinese yuan (approximately Rs 48,000).
