The iQOO Z11i is set to go on sale in China on July 3, with reservations already open ahead of launch. The company has confirmed key details including a 6,500mAh battery, a 120Hz display, and three color options, making the phone one of the latest additions to its budget-focused Z11 series.
Although iQOO has not released the complete specification sheet, official teasers and reliable leaks indicate the device will feature a 6.74-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The combination of a large battery and high refresh rate places battery life and smooth everyday performance at the center of the device's appeal.
Official images show the iQOO Z11i with a rectangular dual-camera module and a waterdrop notch on the front, a design commonly found in the entry-level smartphone segment. The handset will be available in Qingfeng Green, Desert Gold, and Ink Shadow.
Leaked hardware details suggest the phone will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor, paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. While memory and storage capacities remain unconfirmed, the hardware points to a device built for everyday tasks, streaming, and light gaming.
Battery capacity is one of the headline features, with the iQOO Z11i expected to pack a 6,500mAh cell. Charging, however, is reportedly limited to 15W, meaning full recharges could take longer than many competing smartphones in the same category.
The phone is expected to include a 13MP rear camera alongside a secondary sensor, while a 5MP front-facing camera is likely to handle selfies and video calls. Additional reported features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an IR blaster, IP65-rated dust and water resistance, and a notification light. Navigation support is also expected to include single-band GPS and dual-band BeiDou.
The iQOO Z11i is expected to compete with affordable 5G smartphones that prioritize battery life over premium charging speeds or advanced camera hardware. If the reported specifications prove accurate, it will offer a balanced feature set for users seeking long battery endurance and a smoother display experience at a lower price point.
