The highly anticipated iQOO Z11 series will reportedly feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and a large battery, according to popular Chinese blogger Digital Chat Station. The Z11, the most awaited phone in the Z series, has now revealed its chipset details through the blogger’s report.
Earlier reports left it unclear whether the phone would use the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 or the Elite Edition, but it is now widely expected to be equipped with the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset.
Compared to the previous iQOO Z10 Turbo Plus, it features the Dimensity 9400+ processor along with a self-developed Q2 gaming chip to enhance gaming performance and stability. Additionally, the Z10 Turbo Plus delivers power to its 1.5K, 144 Hz super-resolution display, providing sharper visuals and a smoother gaming experience.
iQOO Z11 Specifications
The iQOO Z11 is expected to feature an 8000 mAh battery with redesigned charging capabilities, similar to its predecessor, the iQOO Z10 Turbo Plus. Recent leaks also suggest it will come with a 2K OLED display and a 144 Hz refresh rate, offering smoother visuals and an enhanced viewing experience.
Looking at the previous series, the iQOO Z10 was a mid-range phone offering decent gaming performance with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor and a 7000 mAh battery. Therefore, the new iQOO Z11 series is expected to deliver even better battery life, as both the iQOO Z10 and Z10 Turbo Plus already featured large batteries despite their affordable price points.
However, the iQOO Z11 series is debuting as a gaming-centric phone, featuring several upgrades to enhance gaming compatibility. So far, no details have been revealed about a dedicated gaming chipset.
Competitive Gaming Experience
iQOO has recently launched several competitive gaming smartphones, and the iQOO Z11 series is expected to be one of them. Delivering top-tier gaming performance requires more than just a powerful processor—it also depends on a responsive multi-touch capacitive display, a fast refresh rate, and, most importantly, a compatible GPU for optimal graphics rendering.
Recently, I used the ZTE Nubia Red Magic 6 Pro mainly for playing PUBG Mobile and compared it with the iQOO Neo 10R. The gaming experience was impressive on both devices, but the iQOO holds a clear advantage with its latest hardware, optimized software, and exceptional engineering in graphics and performance optimization.
The series may debut in global markets under a different model name or lineup starting in early 2026, but in China, it’s being promoted as the Z11 Series. More details are yet to be revealed, so stay tuned with us for the latest updates.
