Details about the device’s specifications and features were shared by the company on Tuesday, including its chipset, display, and other key aspects. The iQOO Z11 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 octa-core chipset, paired with iQOO’s next-generation “Monster Over-Core” gaming engine.

The phone also features a dual rear camera setup housed in a square-shaped module, supporting 1x, 1.5x, and 2x focal lengths. The display of the iQOO Z11 includes a 6.76-inch LCD touchscreen with a 165Hz refresh rate, 95 percent “first-frame brightness ratio,” and ultra-sensitive touch technology.

iQOO Z11 Launches in China with 9,020mAh Battery and Dimensity 8500 SoC The iQOO Z11 has been officially launched in China as the next-generation model in the company’s mid-range Z-series lineup. The smartphone succeeds the iQOO Z10, which previously launched in India at a starting price of Rs 21,999. However, due to rising component costs and current market conditions, the Z11 is unlikely to match its predecessor’s pricing if it eventually reaches the Indian market. In China, the Z11 starts at CNY 2,299 (~Rs 31,000) for the base 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. Higher configurations are available, with prices increasing as follows: 12GB + 256GB at CNY 2,499 (~Rs 34,000), 16GB + 512GB at CNY 2,799 (~Rs 38,100), 12GB + 512GB at CNY 2,999 (~Rs 40,800), and 16GB + 512GB at CNY 3,399 (~Rs 46,300). The device will be sold through the company’s official website in three color options: Canglang Fuguang, Skylight White, and Polar Night Black. The Z11 features a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, offering smoother visuals and enhanced gaming performance. The screen also supports a 300Hz touch sampling rate, HDR compatibility, and a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut for vibrant displays. Under the hood, the phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 SoC, a 4nm mid-range chipset that outperforms the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 in raw processing power. Battery life is a key highlight, with the Z11 equipped with a 9,020mAh capacity, significantly larger than the Z10’s battery. It supports 90W fast charging and OTG reverse charging, allowing users to power other devices. The phone’s design accommodates the large battery while maintaining a slim profile of 163.72×76.17×8.25mm and a weight of 216.5 grams.#china #originos_6 #iqoo #iqoo_z11 #dimensity_8500
iQOO 15R Smartphone Review: The Best Gaming Phone Of 2026 That Won’t Kill Your Wallet? The iQOO 15R, a mid-range smartphone from the Chinese brand iQOO, aims to deliver a flagship-like experience without the premium price tag. Designed to compete in a market dominated by Samsung and Xiaomi, the device focuses on performance, build quality, and gaming capabilities. After weeks of testing, the phone proves to be a solid choice for users prioritizing speed and efficiency. Upon unboxing, the iQOO 15R impresses with its sturdy, well-crafted design. Its body strikes a balance between compactness and heft, making it comfortable to hold for extended periods. The phone’s build feels durable, which is a relief for users like myself who tend to mishandle gadgets. The attention to ergonomics ensures it doesn’t feel like a fragile, expensive device despite its robust construction. Under the hood, the iQOO 15R houses the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM. This combination ensures smooth multitasking and seamless performance, even when running demanding apps and games. During testing, the phone handled tasks like YouTube, Google Chrome, and the open-world action RPG Wuthering Waves with ease. The inclusion of OriginOS 6, a refined version of Android 16, further enhances the user experience by optimizing app performance and reducing bloatware. Gaming performance is a standout feature. The phone runs Wuthering Waves at 60fps on the highest graphics settings, though it does heat up after about an hour of continuous play. This is a common issue with high-end gaming phones, but the 100W fast-charging system helps mitigate it. A full charge from 0% takes less than an hour, and the 7600mAh battery lasts around two days with moderate use.#originos_6 #snapdragon_8_gen_5 #iqoo #iqoo_15r #wuthering_waves
