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)

The post iQOO Z11S debuts with 10,000mAh battery, 6.83-inch 144Hz AMOLED display, Dimensity 7500 chipset appeared first on Gizmochina.

The iQOO Z11S is being positioned as a practical device focused on visual experience and long battery life. The full reveal is set for August 18 in China.

Latest teasers confirm the phone will come with a 2K 144Hz panel with support for 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and full-brightness DC dimming. These eye-protection features are aimed at reducing fatigue during long reading, video or gaming sessions. The phone has reportedly earned SGS eye-comfort certification for low blue light and low flicker.

For gamers, the company has also added its own touch optimisations to cut motion blur and improve responsiveness. The display hits 2000 nits of peak brightness across the whole panel, which should help outdoors.

The other big talking point is the battery. The Z11S will pack a 10,000mAh battery, the largest iQOO has ever put in a phone. It’s a single-cell design developed together with CATL. Previously reported endurance numbers look strong: around 17 hours of continuous navigation, 32 hours of WeChat voice calls, 29 hours of short-video playback, and about 14.6 hours of mainstream mobile gaming.

In a simulated full-day intensive student-style use case (daytime messaging, standby and music, then evening gaming, video and calls for a total of 16 hours), the battery reportedly had 57% left. That should comfortably support multi-day use under normal loads. Charging is expected to support 44W with common protocols, though the full official confirmation is still pending the launch event.

A Geekbench listing for a related model (V2603A) suggest a MediaTek Dimensity 7500-series chipset running Android 16 with at least 12GB of RAM, which points to solid mid-range performance that should pair well with the large battery. Colour options and a dual rear-camera setup (including a 50MP main sensor in some reports) have also shown up in promotional material. The Z11S is expected to launch alongside the higher-positioned Neo 11 Ultra series in China.

The post iQOO Z11S teaser confirms 2K 144Hz display with 2,000-nit full-screen brightness appeared first on Gizmochina.

After teasing the arrival of the iQOO Neo 11 Ultra last week, iQOO has now confirmed its design and some key specifications. The company has also revealed that the iQOO Z11S will debut alongside it in China on August 18. Here is what we know about the two upcoming phones so far.

iQOO Neo 11 Ultra: What’s known so far

The iQOO Neo 11 Ultra is officially confirmed to feature a 2K flat 6.83-inch display and a 9,100mAh battery, making it the first Neo-series phone with such a large battery. The company is positioning it as a performance-focused flagship, while also highlighting improvements to eye comfort, durability and network stability. The phone is also tipped to feature a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, IP68 and IP69 ratings, and 100W wired charging.

The design shown by iQOO features a horizontal dual-camera module with the two rear cameras arranged side by side. The flash sits separately to the right of the camera island. The phone will be available in Light White, Shadow Black and Wind Chaser color options, with the latter featuring a distinctive light-toned finish and flowing pattern on the rear panel.

Under the hood, the Neo 11 Ultra is expected to debut a customized version of the Dimensity 9500 with an 11-core Mali G1-Ultra GPU configuration. Reported memory options include 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+256GB and 16GB+512GB.

iQOO Z11S: What’s known so far

The iQOO Z11S will take a different approach, with its 10,000mAh battery making it the brand’s first smartphone to enter the 10,000mAh category. iQOO has officially confirmed a 144Hz display, while the promotional material also highlights eye-care features.

The phone has a 6.83-inch screen with a combination of full-brightness DC-like dimming and 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, along with SGS certifications for low blue light and low flicker.

The Z11S has a vertically arranged dual-camera setup housed in a rectangular module, with the flash placed beside it. The images show White, Black and a pale Green color option.

The phone could be the V2603A model previously spotted on Geekbench with a Dimensity 7500 chip, 12GB of RAM and Android 16. A 44W charger has also appeared in its 3C certification, although iQOO has yet to confirm these details. The remaining specifications are still under wraps.
