iQOO is preparing to bring the iQOO Z11 to India after launching the phone in China earlier in March this year. The Vivo sub-brand has now shared a teaser that can be decoded as a reference to the Z11, signalling that the next Z-series phone is close to its India debut. Let’s look at it in more detail below.

In its latest post on X, iQOO published three binary strings instead of naming the device directly. When converted, those codes read as “Z11”, which lines up with earlier leaks around the upcoming model and effectively confirms the name without a formal announcement.
Some clues aren’t meant to be read. They’re meant to be decoded. 👀🔐
A secret is hidden in plain sight… but only if you can crack the binary.

The company has not yet revealed the exact launch date or specifications for the Indian unit, but a report by Gadgets 360 claims the phone is on track for an August release.
The report also claims that iQOO plans to ship the Indian Z11 with MediaTek’s Dimensity 7500 Turbo chipset, rather than the Dimensity 8500 used in the Chinese variant. That suggests iQOO wants a different performance and efficiency balance for the Indian market. The phone is also expected to arrive with a 3D curved display in India, giving it a more premium look compared to flat-screen mid-rangers.
An earlier leak suggests that the iQOO Z11, with model number I2514, will launch in India at around Rs 35,000, pushing the Z lineup further into the upper mid‑range segment. For context, the iQOO Z10 5G arrived in April 2025 at Rs 21,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant and now sits closer to Rs 24,999, although it is currently listed as out of stock.
The phone is tipped to feature a 1.5K 144Hz curved OLED display, a battery somewhere between 7,000mAh and 8,000mAh with 90W fast charging, and the Dimensity 7500 processor, which seems to be true based on the latest leaks. It is also said to carry a 50MP primary camera with OIS, a 32MP front camera, IP68 and IP69 ratings, an in‑display fingerprint sensor, a plastic frame, and 8GB and 12GB RAM options.
In China, the iQOO Z11 launched in March with a more powerful Dimensity 8500 chip, a 6.83‑inch 1.5K 165Hz AMOLED display, a 9,020mAh battery, 90W fast charging, a 50MP OIS primary camera, a 2MP depth sensor and a 16MP selfie camera, starting at CNY 2,299 (around Rs 32,500) for the 8GB + 256GB variant.
The Indian unit, based on leaks, looks more battery‑focused, similar to the iQOO Z10. It is tipped to swap to the Dimensity 7500 Turbo, use a 1.5K 144Hz curved OLED display, pair it with a 7,000–8,000mAh battery and 90W charging, and arrive around Rs 35,000, which reflects the market conditions due to rising memory and component costs.
Buyers who want a long battery life and a premium display at a sensible price will likely find the Indian Z11 more appealing, while those who prefer performance and slightly lower effective pricing may have better luck with options like the Redmi Turbo 5 or the OnePlus Nord CE6.
