I have been spending some time with the upcoming iQOO Z11 ahead of its India launch, and the phone makes a strong first impression with its combination of a large curved display, a massive battery, and a new focus on AI features. iQOO is positioning the Z11 in the under-Rs 40,000 segment, with the phone set to launch in India on August 20.
iQOO claims that the Z11 is designed with students in mind, especially because its AI features can help with studying, taking notes, summarizing information, writing assignments, and handling everyday academic tasks. After trying some of these features, I can see why the company is emphasizing practical AI use cases rather than treating AI as just another specification.
2AI Captions can translate Indian languages in real time
AI Captions is another feature I found particularly interesting. It is powered by Google Gemini and Microsoft Azure and provides real-time transcription and translation.
What I liked is that it can translate Indian languages such as Hindi and Urdu in real time. iQOO says it plans to add support for more Indian languages in the future.
Beyond these, AI Captions supports languages including Chinese, Czech, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Polish, Spanish, Thai, Turkish and Russian. It can also automatically detect the source language, so you do not always have to manually select the language being spoken.
While translation is happening in real time, you can tap AI Summary from the bottom bar to generate a summary. At present, the summary is available only in English.
If you need the summary in another language, you can use AI Creation’s Translate option to translate the generated English summary into your preferred language.
