- Previous leaks point to a 3D curved AMOLED display, a price of around ₹35,000, and an August launch.
iQOO has started teasing the arrival of its next Z-series smartphone in India. The company’s India CEO, Nipun Marya, first shared an acrostic post on X where the first letter of each line spelled out “ZELEVEN,” leaving little doubt that the iQOO Z11 is on the way.
A day later, he followed it up with another teaser, this time sharing a hand-drawn sketch of a smartphone with the caption “not every sketch belongs on paper.” The drawing highlights a 3D curved back, a narrow frame, and a light & slim design, offering the first official glimpse of what the phone could look like.
While iQOO is yet to announce a launch date, the teaser campaign suggests the company is preparing for an official announcement soon.
India Could Get a Different Chipset Again
The more interesting part of the story is what could be inside the Indian model. According to previous reports, the Indian iQOO Z11 will be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7500 Turbo chipset. That would make it different from every other version of the phone launched so far.
The Chinese iQOO Z11 debuted with the Dimensity 8500, while the Malaysian variant uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 4. If the latest reports are accurate, India will become the third market to receive its own chipset variant.
What Else to Expect
Earlier leaks suggest the iQOO Z11 will feature a 3D curved AMOLED display and launch in India at around ₹35,000. That would place it significantly above the iQOO Z10, which launched in India at ₹21,999 for the base variant. It would also position the Z11 much closer to the upper mid-range segment than previous Z-series devices.
Beyond that, very little has been confirmed. Battery capacity, charging speeds, camera specifications, RAM and storage variants, and color options remain under wraps.
