Vivo’s performance‑focused sub‑brand iQOO is set to debut its Z11 lineup outside China next week, starting with Malaysia. Listings on the vivo Malaysia website let shoppers reserve units from April 27 through May 6, with the official launch slated for May 6. The global Z11 adopts a design echoing the vivo T5 Pro and swaps the Chinese‑market Dimensity 8500 for a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset.

The Malaysian entry will ship with a 9,020 mAh battery, 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of storage, offered in blue and black finishes. Meanwhile the Z11x mirrors its Chinese counterpart—known locally as the vivo T5x—featuring a 7,200 mAh cell, 44 W fast charging, 8 GB RAM and either 128 GB or 256 GB storage, available in silver and black for consumers in the region.

By aligning the Z11 series with Snapdragon silicon and larger batteries, iQOO aims to capture budget‑performance shoppers in Southeast Asia, a market where Chinese‑origin phones have traditionally struggled against established brands. The dual‑model rollout gives buyers a clear choice between higher‑end power and a more modest, cost‑effective variant, widening the brand’s appeal immediately upon release in the competitive segment today.
