iQOO Z11 Teaser Surfaces Following iQOO 16 Cancellation Rumors

iQOO’s India CEO, Nipun Marya, officially shared a new teaser featuring the number “11”. The launch will follow the Z11 launch in China in March 2026. Although no details about the iQOO Z11’s specifications and pricing have been shared, it may be a mid-range premium phone like last year’s iQOO Z10.

No official confirmation of the Z11’s specifications has been shared yet, nor have any details been shared officially about plans to scrap the iQOO 16 flagship.

A few tipsters say iQOO is already working on obtaining the certifications for the iQOO Z11.

According to a recent Geekbench listing, tipsters claim the iQOO Z11 5G will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7500 chipset. It will have up to 12GB of RAM and run Android 16 out of the box.

Hints suggest the Z11 will have a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and support for a 144Hz refresh rate.

On the rear, we expect a dual-camera system with a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP ultrawide sensor. The front will have a 50MP selfie shooter.

On the battery side, there are strong rumors suggesting it will be powered by a larger 7,200 mAh battery with 90W fast wired charging onboard. Also, rumors suggest that iQOO Z11 will be IP68 or IP69 rated.

iQOO Z11: Everything We Know About Its Launch and Price

iQOO has not officially confirmed the launch of the Z11 in India. With the recent listing and iQOO moving forward with certification, we may receive official confirmation from Vivo’s sub-gaming brand soon.

Neither the pricing details out! Given the leaked specification and how iQOO positions its Z series, the iQOO Z11’s price will be set somewhere between Rs 30,000 and Rs 35,000; this is also after accounting for the “recent memory price hike.”

However, this has not been confirmed by iQOO, and we will have to wait for official confirmation.
