iQOO launches the Z11 5G in India, combining AI-powered productivity features tailored for students with a robust mid-range hardware, a large battery, and the country’s first MediaTek Dimensity 7500 Turbo processor.
iQOO has introduced the Z11 5G in India as a device pitched at students, combining AI-assisted productivity tools with mid-range hardware and a large battery. According to the company’s product page and launch material, the phone is intended to handle lecture notes, assignment work and document processing more efficiently, while also providing enough performance for day-to-day use. The handset will go on sale on 25 August 2026 at 12 noon through the iQOO e-store, Amazon.in, vivo exclusive stores and selected retail outlets.
The Z11 5G is powered by what iQOO describes as India’s first MediaTek Dimensity 7500 Turbo processor, paired with a 3,800mm² vapour chamber cooling system. The company says the device includes AI Captions, which uses a multi-engine setup with Google Gemini and Microsoft Azure for transcription and translation, and AI Creation for document summarisation and writing support. It also supports Circle to Search 2.0, a feature now common on newer Android phones but still useful for faster on-screen look-ups.
Display and battery life are central to the pitch. The phone carries a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED curved panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits, which iQOO says makes it the brightest in its segment. Power comes from a 7,050mAh battery with 44W charging, while imaging is handled by a 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 32MP front camera. Durability features include IP68 and IP69 ratings, alongside military-grade certification.
Pricing starts at INR 34,999 for the 6GB+128GB model, with net effective pricing from INR 31,499 after offers. Higher variants are listed at INR 39,999, INR 44,999 and INR 49,999, depending on memory configuration. The phone is available in Celestial Blue and Aurora Green, while iQOO has also opened sales for the Buds at INR 1,899. The company says both products will be made at vivo’s Greater Noida facility, and that customers can use more than 700 company-owned service centres across India.
