iQOO has launched the Z11 5G in India with a standout spec sheet: a 9020mAh battery, Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, and a 165Hz AMOLED display, all priced under Rs 30,000. The phone is available in 8GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration.
The iQOO Z11 5G sits in a fiercely competitive segment where the OnePlus Nord 6, Motorola Edge 70 Fusion, and Realme P4R 5G all fight for the same buyers. iQOO’s differentiator is raw battery capacity; at 9020mAh, the Z11 has the largest battery in its class by a significant margin.
Display and Design
The phone features a 6.83-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel running at 1260×2800 resolution. The 165Hz refresh rate is higher than most competitors, which typically offer 120Hz at this price point. The display uses a punch-hole cutout for the 32MP front camera and supports HDR content.
At 213 grams, the Z11 is heavier than most rivals (the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion weighs 193 grams, for example) but that weight comes with the trade-off of substantially more battery life. The phone measures 8.25mm in thickness, which is reasonable given the battery size.
Performance and Processor
The Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 is a step up from the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 used in the previous iQOO Z10. The octa-core chip runs at up to 3.4GHz on its single performance core, with three cores at 3.2GHz and four efficiency cores at 2.2GHz. In real-world terms, this means smooth app switching, solid gaming performance on titles like BGMI and Genshin Impact, and capable AI processing for camera features.
With 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage (non-expandable), the Z11 matches the OnePlus Nord 6 on storage and exceeds the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion and OnePlus Nord CE 6, which ship with 128GB base storage.
Camera Setup
The rear camera is a dual setup: a 50MP primary sensor paired with a 2MP depth camera. The primary sensor supports up to 10x digital zoom and can record Full HD video at 30 and 60fps. The front camera is a 32MP shooter with screen flash.
At this price, camera performance is serviceable rather than exceptional. The 50MP sensor captures decent daylight photos, but the lack of an ultrawide or telephoto lens limits versatility. Competitors like the OnePlus Nord 6 offer triple camera setups, though the primary sensor quality is comparable.
Battery and Charging
The 9020mAh battery is the headline feature. For context, the iQOO Z10 had a 7300mAh cell, the OnePlus Nord 6 packs 9000mAh, and the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion comes with 7000mAh. In practical terms, the Z11 should comfortably last two full days of moderate use.
Charging is handled by 90W Flash Charge via USB Type-C. A full charge from zero takes roughly 50-55 minutes based on similar iQOO devices with the same charging hardware.
Competition and Value
The iQOO Z11 5G at Rs 29,990 undercuts several competitors on specs while matching or exceeding them on battery and storage. The OnePlus Nord 6 at Rs 39,999 offers a better camera system and the OxygenOS experience, but costs Rs 10,000 more. The Motorola Edge 70 Fusion at Rs 26,365 is cheaper but comes with less storage, a smaller battery, and an LCD display option instead of AMOLED in some variants.
The iQOO Z11x, also from iQOO, is available at Rs 22,998 but uses a slower Snapdragon processor, an LCD display, and only 128GB storage. For buyers who want the best specs without crossing the Rs 30,000 line, the Z11 5G is the stronger pick within iQOO’s own lineup.
