iQOO Z11 India price range, key specifications tipped ahead of expected August launch
iQOO launched the “budget” iQOO Z11 Lite in India a few days ago to join the existing Z11x in the latest Z-series lineup, and now another member seems to be coming soon. We haven’t heard much officially but soon after a BIS listing was spotted for the iQOO Z11, there were indications that it would be coming soon. Now, a new leak reveals its expected specifications and price range.
The iQOO Z11 launched in China in March this year. While the phone appears to retain some of the features of the Chinese variant, it’s also said to arrive with a different chipset, suggesting iQOO may be tailoring the device specifically for the Indian market.

Launch and expected pricing
Tipster Debayan Roy claims the iQOO Z11 (model number I2514) will launch in India in August at a price of around Rs 35,000. An official announcement is expected soon. If the tipped pricing holds, the iQOO Z11 will move the Z series further into the upper mid-range segment. For comparison, the iQOO Z10 5G debuted in India in April 2025 at Rs 21,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant and is currently listed at Rs 24,999, although it’s out of stock.
At around Rs 35,000, the iQOO Z11 is expected to compete with devices such as the OnePlus Nord CE 6, Motorola Edge 70 Pro, and even maybe the upcoming Redmi Note 15, which is expected launch around a similar price range.
Expected specs
According to the leak, the Indian iQOO Z11 could feature a 1.5K 144Hz curved OLED display, a battery between 7,000mAh and 8,000mAh with 90W fast charging, and the MediaTek Dimensity 7500 processor. It’s also tipped to offer 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. An earlier report had claimed the phone would use the same chipset, making it the first smartphone in India to feature the platform. The Indian variant is also expected to come with a curved display, unlike the flat display found on the Chinese model.
The iQOO Z11 launched in China with a more powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8500 processor, 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. It starts at CNY 2,299 (around Rs 32,500) for the 8GB + 256GB model.
The shift from the Dimensity 8500 to the Dimensity 7500 Turbo suggests iQOO may be prioritising pricing over outright performance for India. The Dimensity 8500 is designed for flagship-level gaming and demanding workloads, while the Dimensity 7500 Turbo is better suited for everyday multitasking and mainstream gaming. Using the less powerful chip could help iQOO keep the phone within a more competitive price bracket while still offering premium features such as a high refresh rate curved display, a large battery, and fast charging.
The iQOO Z11 could appeal to those looking for long battery life and a premium display without stepping into flagship pricing. However, since the specifications are based on leaks, it may be worth waiting for the official announcement to see how the final hardware and pricing compare with rivals in the segment.
