iQOO Z11 design, colours
The iQOO Z11 features a curved design with a 3D curved display. It has very thin bezels and a large screen. The design is different from most phones in the same segment, which offer a flat display. The curved screen should give an immersive experience while watching content.
The handset also has a horizontal camera bar housing two sensors and an LED ring light. It looks similar to the recently launched Vivo S2. This design might appeal to users who prefer a curved form factor and one that looks a bit different from other phones. The iQOO Z11 will be available in Aurora Green and Celestial Blue.
iQOO Z11 expected pricing
iQOO has hinted on the pricing range for the Z11. Based on teasers shared by iQOO, the Z11 will be priced under Rs 40,000 in India. iQOO has mentioned in the teasers that the features revealed about the Z11 are based on phones under Rs 40,000 in India. This would put the iQOO Z11 up against rivals like the Motorola Edge 70 Pro.
The iQOO Z11 will land in the Indian market on August 20. The smartphone will be available via iQOO’s official website, Amazon and authorised iQOO stores. The handset is tipped to be priced under Rs 40,000.
If you’re in the market for a mid-range phone with a focus on multimedia and battery life, the Z11’s specs are compelling, but it’s wise to wait for full reviews to confirm real-world performance and camera quality, and how it compares with rivals in the same segment.

iQOO Z11 Specifications Confirmed So Far
The iQOO Z11 uses MediaTek’s Dimensity 7500 Turbo, India’s first phone with the chip, with iQOO claiming an AnTuTu score above 1.2 million. The chipset includes MediaTek’s eighth-generation NPU and a dedicated AI processing unit for on-device AI tasks, which iQOO says delivers up to 2x higher AI performance than the previous generation processor.
The phone has a 6.83-inch 1.5K 3D curved AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 2,000 nits HBM brightness. iQOO is also positioning it as the brightest display in its segment.
The iQOO Z11 keeps the design fairly simple, with a clean rear panel and a camera module iQOO calls the Skyline Camera Module. The Aurora Green version adds a bit more character through its finish. Depending on how light hits the back, the shade shifts and produces a different color effect across the panel. The other color option is Celestial Blue.
The phone also uses a 3D curved display and curved edges around the body, which gives the front a more familiar premium-phone look. The battery is rated at 7,050 mAh.
On the software side, the phone ships with OriginOS 6 and iQOO’s “Comes with AI” suite, including AI Creation, AI Captions and AI Transcript Assist. iQOO is also committing to 3 years of Android updates and 5 years of security updates on the Z11, a first for the Z series and longer than the software support most phones in this segment typically get.
The full RAM and storage configurations, along with the remaining camera details, will be confirmed at the August 20 launch.
