The iQOO Z11x 5G has been officially launched in India, marking the latest addition to iQOO’s popular Z-series lineup under the Vivo sub-brand. Unveiled on March 12, 2026, this mid-range smartphone targets users who prioritize exceptional battery life, solid performance for everyday tasks and gaming, and durable build quality—all at an accessible price point under ₹25,000. It succeeds the iQOO Z10x and brings meaningful upgrades, including a significantly larger battery, a more powerful processor, and enhanced durability features.
Here is a quick overview of its key specifications:

The iQOO Z11x starts at ₹18,999 for the base variant (6GB RAM + 128GB storage). The 8GB RAM + 128GB model is priced at ₹20,999, while the top-end 8GB RAM + 256GB configuration costs ₹22,999. These prices position it competitively in the sub-₹25,000 segment, where it competes with devices from brands like Realme, Poco, and Samsung.
The iQOO Z11x 5G is available in two colours: Prismatic Green and Titan Black . It will go on sale from March 16, 2026, via Amazon India and the iQOO India eStore .

At launch, there is an instant discount of up to ₹2,000 available for purchases made with Axis Bank and SBI credit cards
The phone went on sale starting March 16, 2026, at 12 PM IST, exclusively through Amazon.in and the official iQOO India online store, with potential availability at select offline retail outlets and Vivo/iQOO stores later. Launch offers include an instant discount of up to ₹2,000 on purchases made with Axis Bank or SBI credit cards, along with no-cost EMI options for up to six months. It is available in two attractive color options: Titan Black and Prismatic Green (or similar variants like mint green in some teasers).
Design and Build Quality
The iQOO Z11x features a modern, slim design despite housing one of the largest batteries in its class. It sports a flat frame with a matte finish that helps reduce fingerprints, and the rear panel has a subtle texture for better grip. The phone stands out with its military-grade durability certification (likely MIL-STD-810H compliant in some aspects) and high-level IP68 + IP69 dust and water resistance—a rare feature in this price range.
This means it can withstand submersion in water up to certain depths and resist high-pressure water jets, making it suitable for users in demanding environments or those prone to accidental spills.
The display is protected by durable glass, and the overall build feels premium for a mid-ranger, with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for quick unlocking.
Display
At the front, the iQOO Z11x boasts a large 6.76-inch Full HD+ LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 2408 pixels (or similar 2344 × 1080 in some reports). It supports a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring fluid scrolling, responsive gaming, and an enjoyable viewing experience for videos and social media.
Peak brightness reaches up to 1200 nits, making it visible outdoors in bright sunlight. While it uses an LCD panel instead of AMOLED (which some users have noted as a minor drawback for deeper blacks), the high refresh rate and large screen size make it ideal for multimedia consumption and extended usage.
Performance and Software
Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo, a 4nm octa-core chipset that replaces the Dimensity 7300 from the predecessor. It features efficient cores clocked up to 2.5GHz and a Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. iQOO claims an impressive AnTuTu benchmark score exceeding 1 million, positioning it as one of the stronger performers in the sub-₹20,000 category—suitable for multitasking, casual to mid-level gaming (like BGMI, COD Mobile at high settings), and AI-enhanced features.
It comes with up to 8GB LPDDR4X RAM (with virtual RAM expansion up to an additional 8GB in some configurations) and UFS 3.1 storage options of 128GB or 256GB (non-expandable). This ensures snappy app launches, quick file transfers, and smooth performance even with multiple apps open.
On the software side, the phone runs OriginOS 6.0 (or Funtouch OS 6 in some references) based on Android 16. iQOO has promised 2 years of major Android updates and 4 years of security patches, which is decent for the segment and ensures longevity.
Camera Setup
The camera system focuses on versatility with AI enhancements. The rear features a 50MP Sony IMX852 primary sensor (main camera) paired with a 2MP bokeh/depth sensor for portrait effects. It supports 4K video recording on both front and rear cameras—a standout feature for content creators in this price bracket. The 32MP front camera handles selfies and video calls effectively.
While not a flagship-level camera phone, the setup delivers good daylight shots with natural colors, decent low-light performance thanks to AI processing, and solid portrait modes. Features like night mode, AI scene optimization, and 4K capabilities add value for social media users and casual photographers.
Battery and Charging
The star of the show is the massive 7,200mAh battery—one of the largest in the mid-range segment and a big upgrade over the 6,500mAh in the Z10x. iQOO highlights exceptional endurance: up to 40 hours of video playback, 93 hours of music, 15.4 hours of gaming, and around 18.7 hours of social media usage on a single charge. It also includes a 6-year battery health guarantee in some promotions, promising minimal degradation over time.
Charging is handled via 44W fast charging, with claims of a 10-minute top-up providing enough juice for 6 hours of calls or extended light usage. While not the fastest in class, it strikes a good balance with the enormous capacity, ensuring the phone lasts multiple days for moderate users.
The iQOO Z11x 5G is a compelling package for budget-conscious buyers in India who want marathon battery life without compromising on performance or durability. Its Dimensity 7400 Turbo chipset delivers flagship-like benchmark scores for the price, the 120Hz display keeps things smooth, and rugged certifications like IP68/IP69 make it stand out in daily real-world use. While the LCD screen and non-expandable storage might not appeal to everyone, the overall value—especially with launch discounts—makes it a strong contender against rivals in the ₹18,000–₹23,000 range.
