The iQOO Z11i is a new entry-level smartphone from this VIVO sub-brand—a pretty interesting device in its price range since it at least meets the basic requirements.
It features an Octa-Core Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor inside a reinforced chassis with IP65 certification, which guarantees a certain level of resistance to dust and splashes. This 4-nm chip supports 5G connectivity and scores around 420,000 points on AnTuTu v11. Its battery has a capacity of 6,500 mAh, although charging is limited to 15 W—quite slow by today’s standards.
This smartphone comes in versions with 6/8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128/256 GB of high-speed UFS 3.1 storage, expandable via a microSD card slot located on the side.
The display on this iQOO is a 6.74-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1600 × 720 pixels, 1200 nits of brightness, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and a 20.5:9 aspect ratio. The front-facing camera is 5 MP; the rear camera is 13 MP, supported by a secondary camera and an LED flash.
It also features Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 4.1, an IR sensor, a 5G modem with dual SIM support, and GPS. The battery has a capacity of 6500 mAh with 15 W fast charging, a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button, a USB Type-C 2.0 port for charging and data transfer, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and weighs 209 grams. Finally, it runs Android 16 with the OriginOS 6 user interface.
