iQOO just dropped a new mid-range phone that’s all about one thing: lasting forever. The Z11S is the company’s first phone with a massive 10,000mAh battery. The company worked with CATL on this high-energy-density battery pack. It uses second-generation semi-solid tech and something they call “Magic Cube Packaging 2.0” to squeeze in all that capacity.
The phone is 8.59mm thick and weighs 225 grams. It’s only 11 grams heavier than the Galaxy S26 Ultra, even though it packs exactly double the battery capacity. Charging is 44W wired. It’s not the fastest out there, and topping up that huge battery will take a while. But once it’s full, the phone should last more than two days for most people.
Inside is a MediaTek Dimensity 7500 octa-core chip built on TSMC’s N4P process. It uses ARM’s latest C1 cores. According to iQOO, the Z11S hits around 1.31 million on AnTuTu V11 and offers a 24% jump in single-core performance. They’re also promising five years of smooth use.
The screen is a 6.83-inch AMOLED with 2800 × 1260 resolution, 10-bit color, P3 gamut, up to 2000 nits full-screen brightness, and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. It covers 94.47% of the front and has full-brightness DC dimming so it’s easier on the eyes. Colors available are Snow White, Dark Rock Black, and Floating Light.
The back of the phone is a bit more interesting than it looks at first. The shiny ring wrapping around that rounded-square camera module is apparently metal, which should give the camera hardware a bit more protection if the phone takes a fall.
The camera system itself is a little disappointing, though. Official product shots clearly show two lenses on the back, one of which houses the infrared remote control sensor. The other is the 50MP rear camera with an f/1.8 aperture. Up front there’s an 8MP camera with autofocus. Still, the official sample photos do leave a pretty good impression of what the main camera can do.
Basically, it’s built for people who just want a phone that offers decent mid-range performance and doesn’t die by mid-afternoon.
Here’s how the pricing breaks down:
8GB + 128GB: ¥1,999 (~₹28,400)
8GB + 256GB: ¥2,199 (~₹31,200)
12GB + 256GB: ¥2,499 (~₹35,500)
12GB + 512GB: ¥2,899 (~₹41,200)
