Tipster Digital Chat Station revealed the news on Weibo, indicating an imminent launch following the recent debut of the Z11 Turbo.

The Z11 is rumored to pack a massive 9,000mAh battery with 90W fast charging, paired with a 1.5K-resolution LTPS display and mid-range chipset.

The Z11 series expansion suggests iQOO is targeting different market segments with varied specifications and price points, potentially challenging rivals like Xiaomi and Realme in the value-for-money smartphone space.
