iQOO Z11 5G Launched in India with Dimensity 7500 Turbo, 7050mAh Battery: Price Starts at Rs 31,499

A curved AMOLED screen, a chipset that has never sold in India before, and a battery built to survive back to back lectures. That is the pitch behind the iQOO Z11 5G, which iQOO officially launched in India today alongside the iQOO Buds wireless earphones.

The iQOO Z11 price in India starts at Rs 34,999 for the base 6GB plus 128GB variant, though the effective price after bank offers drops to Rs 31,499. Sale begins on 25th August at 12 PM through Check price on Amazon, the iQOO e-store, vivo exclusive stores, Reliance Digital, and select retail outlets. This makes it the third phone in the Z11 lineup for India, joining the Z11x and Z11 Lite that launched earlier this year.

Segment’s Brightest Display, According to iQOO

The headline feature is a 6.83-inch 1.5K 144Hz AMOLED curved display with 2000 nits of high brightness mode, a figure iQOO claims makes it the brightest panel in its price segment for phones under Rs 40,000. HBM, or High Brightness Mode, is a display setting that temporarily boosts screen brightness beyond the standard peak, typically used to fight glare in direct sunlight rather than for regular indoor use.

iQOO has also built in what it calls Flagship-Grade Eye Comfort, a set of software tweaks designed to reduce strain during long reading or streaming sessions. The phone itself weighs just 199 grams and measures 7.99mm thick, making it one of the slimmer options in its class. It ships in two colourways: Aurora Green, inspired by the northern lights, and Celestial Blue, meant to evoke the night sky. The rear camera bump adopts what iQOO calls a Skyline Design, a compact horizontal module that also helps the phone sit flatter on a desk.

India’s First Dimensity 7500 Turbo, Explained

The iQOO Z11 5G debuts the MediaTek Dimensity 7500 Turbo, making it the first phone in the country to carry this chipset. Built on a 4nm manufacturing process, MediaTek’s smallest and most efficient transistor size at this price point, the processor is rated by iQOO at over 1.2 million points on AnTuTu, a widely used benchmarking app that measures a phone’s overall processing, graphics, and memory performance. The chip is paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage for everyday responsiveness.

Cooling gets a genuine upgrade too. The Z11 introduces a 3800 mm² Vapor Chamber Cooling System, the first time this technology has appeared in the Z series. A vapor chamber works by spreading heat across a wider surface using a sealed liquid that evaporates and condenses rapidly, which iQOO says delivers nearly 6 times the thermal conductivity of the graphite sheet used in last year’s model, along with 2.5 times more cooling surface area.

AI Tools Built Around Student Life

iQOO has clearly positioned the Z11 at students, and the software leans into that. AI Captions runs on a combined Google Gemini and Microsoft Azure engine to transcribe and translate lectures in real time, capturing tone, pauses, and emphasis so students can revisit exactly how something was said, not just what was said.

AI Creation works differently, routing tasks like summarising a document, drafting an assignment, or brainstorming ideas to whichever Gemini model handles that specific job best. It also remembers context across a conversation, so a student can ask a follow-up question without restarting from scratch. Paired with Circle to Search 2.0, which lets users search anything visible on screen without switching apps, the Z11 is built to handle research, writing, and revision inside a single workflow.

50MP Sony Camera and iQOO Z11 Camera OIS Details

For photography, the iQOO Z11 5G carries a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor with OIS, or optical image stabilisation, a hardware system that physically counters hand shake to keep photos and 4K videos sharper. It is paired with an 8MP ultra-wide camera, while a 32MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. Both front and rear setups support 4K recording at 30fps, and the camera app adds Night Mode, Portrait Mode, and AI Erase 2.0 for cleaning up unwanted objects from a shot after the fact.

7050mAh Battery and Long Term Software Support

Battery life comes from a 7050mAh cell with 44W FlashCharge, which iQOO says takes the phone from 1 percent to full in roughly 66 minutes. The company is also promising 5-Year Battery Health, a set of charging algorithms meant to slow down the natural capacity loss batteries face over time, along with reverse charging support for topping up accessories.

On the software front, the Z11 gets 3 generations of Android upgrades and 5 years of security patches, a longer runway than most phones in this bracket typically offer. Durability includes IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, alongside military-grade testing against drops and impact.

iQOO Z11 Price in India: Full Variant List

Buyers can also stack up to Rs 3,000 in instant discounts on select bank cards, a Rs 1,000 coupon, and no cost EMI for up to 6 months. For anyone tracking the iQOO Z11 launch date in India, sale goes live on 25th August at 12 PM, and interested buyers can view listings on Amazon once the sale opens.

iQOO Buds Launch Alongside the Z11

iQOO didn’t stop at the phone. The iQOO Buds went official on the same day, built around a 50-hour total playback figure when counting the charging case. That number leans heavily on the case, so expect a more modest 6 to 8 hours per single charge in real use, which is typical for true wireless earphones at this price.

The earbuds bring AI Call Noise Cancelling for clearer calls in noisy environments, and Bluetooth 6.1 Dual-Device Connection, which lets a single pair stay linked to two devices at once and switch between them automatically, useful for anyone jumping between a laptop call and a phone notification. A Double-Tap Remote Camera Control feature also lets the buds trigger the camera shutter when paired with a compatible vivo or iQOO phone. They carry an IP54 rating for splash resistance.

The iQOO Buds price works out to Rs 1,699 with the instant Rs 200 discount on bank cards. Once the sale opens, buyers can check availability on Amazon.

Where the iQOO Z11 Fits

Sitting just above the Z11x and comfortably ahead of the Z11 Lite, the standard iQOO Z11 is aimed at buyers who want flagship-adjacent display and cooling tech without crossing into true flagship pricing. The combination of a fresh chipset, a genuinely large battery, and a software package tuned for coursework rather than just gaming sets it apart from most of what else sits in the sub Rs 40,000 bracket right now.

Both devices are manufactured at vivo’s Greater Noida facility as part of the company’s Make in India commitment, and iQOO customers can access after sales support through more than 700 company owned service centres across the country.
