The countdown to iQOO Z11 launch just got a little more interesting. With the phone set to debut in India on August 20th, iQOO has now given fans their first real hint at pricing — and it puts the Z11 firmly in upper-mid-range territory.

iQOO Z11: How Much Will It Cost?
iQOO hasn’t announced an exact figure yet, but its own teasers point to a price under ₹40,000. The hint comes from iQOO benchmarking the Z11’s features against other phones already sitting in that same under-₹40K bracket — a classic pre-launch pricing tease. That would make the Z11 the priciest phone in its own lineup, sitting above both the Z11 Lite and Z11x, which tracks given it’s positioned as the flagship of the three.
Where It’ll Compete
At that price, the Z11 lands in a genuinely crowded fight, going up against phones like the Redmi Turbo 5 and Motorola Edge 70 Pro. Here’s how its confirmed specs stack up so far:
| Spec | iQOO Z11 (Confirmed) |
|---|---|
| Expected Price | Under ₹40,000 |
| Display | 6.8″ 1.5K Curved AMOLED, 144Hz |
| Peak Brightness | 5,000 nits |
| Chipset | MediaTek Dimensity 7500 Turbo |
| Battery (India) | 7,050mAh |
| Battery (China variant) | 9,020mAh |
| Launch Date | August 20, 2026 |
The Display Is the Headline Feature
iQOO is clearly leaning hard on the screen as its main selling point. The Z11 packs a 6.8-inch curved AMOLED panel with a 93.82% screen-to-body ratio, a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, and a genuinely eye-catching 5,000 nits of peak brightness. Eye-comfort extras — Eye Protection Mode, Sleep Comfort Mode, and Anti-Fatigue Brightness Adjustment — round out the package for heavy scrollers and streamers.
Chipset and Battery
The Dimensity 7500 Turbo marks a notable win for iQOO: the Z11 will be the first phone in India to launch with this chipset, giving it early bragging rights in the segment. Battery capacity comes in at 7,050mAh for the Indian unit — smaller than the 9,020mAh cell on the Chinese variant, but still large enough to rank among the bigger batteries in its price class. On the software side, expect AI-driven extras like Circle to Search, AI Captions, and AI Creation baked in out of the box.
The phone will launch in Aurora Green and Celestial Blue colourways. You can track the countdown and official confirmations directly on iQOO India’s website as the August 20th date approaches.

Bottom Line
A big curved AMOLED display, a first-to-market chipset, and a sub-₹40,000 price tag make the iQOO Z11 shape up as one of the more compelling upper-mid-range launches this month. The core specs look strong on paper — but as always, the real verdict will come down to how it performs against similarly priced rivals once reviews land.
