A 7050mAh battery in a mid-range phone is not something you see every day. iQOO just made it happen with the Z11 5G, and honestly, it changes what buyers in this price range should expect from a smartphone in 2025.
As Times of India reported, iQOO has launched the Z11 5G in India with a spec sheet that punches well above its price tag. You get a 6.77-inch AMOLED display running at 144Hz, which is the kind of smoothness most people associate with flagship phones. The screen also hits 4500 nits peak brightness, so outdoor visibility should not be an issue at all.
But let’s talk about that battery. 7050mAh is a massive number, and iQOO pairs it with 80W fast charging. So you’re getting a phone that lasts forever and doesn’t take all morning to top up. For students, heavy commuters, or anyone who hates carrying a power bank, this thing is basically a dream device.
Under the hood, the Z11 5G runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset. It’s not a top-tier processor, but it handles everyday tasks, gaming, and multitasking without breaking a sweat. iQOO is also throwing in AI features, including AI Photo Enhancer, AI Video Eraser, and Google’s Circle to Search. Some of these feel genuinely useful. Others are the kind of stuff that sounds good in a press release but rarely gets used after day one.
- 6.77-inch AMOLED display, 144Hz refresh rate, 4500 nits peak brightness
- Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset
- 7050mAh battery with 80W fast charging

The Z11 5G starts at Rs 22,999 for the 8GB/128GB variant, going up to Rs 26,999 for 12GB/256GB. It goes on sale starting July 14 on Amazon India and iQOO’s own site. Given that competitors at this price often compromise on display quality or battery, iQOO’s approach here is smart. The mid-range segment in India is brutal, and leading with a record-breaking battery is exactly the kind of move that gets people talking.
