Chinese smartphone maker iQOO introduced the Z11 in late March and certification filings suggest the device will soon leave the domestic market. Indonesia’s regulator SDPPI listed the model as I2512, while Thailand’s NBTC and the Bluetooth SIG have also cleared it. The move follows the earlier launch of the Z11x, positioning the Z11 for a broader rollout for global markets this year.

If the overseas version mirrors the Chinese spec sheet, buyers can expect a 6.83‑inch AMOLED panel with 1260×2800 resolution, a 165 Hz refresh rate and a 5,000‑nit peak brightness. Under the hood sits MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 chipset, paired with 8, 12 or 16 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage. A 50 MP rear sensor with OIS, 16 MP front camera, and a massive 9,020 mAh battery complete the package.

Pricing in India starts at roughly ₹19,999 for the base 128 GB/6 GB configuration, with the 8 GB variant listed near ₹21,000. The inclusion of 90W wired fast‑charging means the 9,020 mAh cell can refill in under an hour, a selling point for power‑hungry gamers. With certifications secured, iQOO appears set to challenge other mid‑range flagships in Southeast Asia.
