iQOO has officially unveiled the iQOO Z11 Turbo, the newest addition to the Z11 lineup, starting with a launch in China. With flagship-grade performance, a massive battery, and a premium display, the device is expected to generate strong interest ahead of the iQOO Z11 Turbo India launch.
Display
The iQOO Z11 Turbo sports a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED flat display with a resolution of 2750×1260 pixels and a 144Hz refresh rate. The panel uses TCL CSOT C9+ luminous material, delivering a peak brightness of up to 5000 nits and a minimum brightness of just 1 nit.
It supports DC-like dimming, 4320Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and full-brightness DC dimming. Touch responsiveness is enhanced with a 3200Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate and 300Hz ten-finger sampling, while support for 1 billion colors and Schott Shield glass protection adds durability and visual depth.
Borrowing display optimizations from the iQOO 15, the phone features a self-developed solar display algorithm for improved sunlight visibility, a 90% first-frame brightness ratio for minimal ghosting, and Eye Comfort 2.0, which includes AI sleep mode, reduced blue light output, and gaming eye protection to minimize eye strain.
Performance
Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Mobile Platform, paired with iQOO’s self-developed Q2 e-sports chip. The combination works alongside the Monster Hyper-Core Engine, an e-sports signal enhancement system, and Ice Dome VC liquid cooling.
The phone is equipped with LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, achieving an AnTuTu score exceeding 3.59 million. In real-world gaming tests, it delivers a stable 60fps with low power consumption and minimal frame drops.
Thermal performance is handled by an Ice Dome dual-mesh cooling system, which reportedly lowers CPU core temperatures by up to 15°C under heavy load while maintaining uniform heat distribution.
Connectivity is enhanced with 24 surround antennas, an AI-powered e-sports signal engine, and the Thunder Z1 signal enhancement chip for stable network performance even in challenging environments.
Build and Design
The iQOO Z11 Turbo is available in Floating Light, Halo Pink, Sky White, and Midnight Black color options. Midnight Black features a fiberglass back, while the other variants come with glass backs. An aluminum alloy frame and a robot-inspired rear camera module give the phone a premium look.
The device supports IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance, measures 74.42mm in width, weighs around 202g, and has a slim profile of up to 7.9mm depending on the variant.
Camera
For imaging, the iQOO Z11 Turbo becomes the first iQOO phone to feature a 200MP primary camera with a large sensor and 4x lossless zoom. It also introduces full focal-length portrait modes (50mm and 85mm) and full focal-length Live Photos.
On the front, the phone packs a 32MP selfie camera with 0.8x wide-angle support, making it suitable for group selfies and video calls.
Battery and Charging
One of the biggest highlights is the 7600mAh ultra-thin battery, built using second-generation semi-solid-state battery technology. iQOO claims the battery remains stable even in extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to 40°C.
The device supports 100W fast charging and all-scenario direct drive power supply 2.0, allowing users to charge while gaming without overheating.
