iQOO just launched the Z11 in China and the spec sheet is hard to ignore. The phone brings a 9020mAh battery, a 165Hz AMOLED display and the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 chipset to the mid-range segment. Not many phones at this price point offer this kind of combination. People waiting for the iQOO Z11 Nepal launch will definitely want to keep this one on their list.
- MediaTek Dimensity 8500 chipset
- 9020mAh battery with 90W SuperFlash charging
- 50MP OIS rear camera
- 6.83-inch AMOLED 165Hz display
Display & Design
The Z11 comes with a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution at 165Hz, which is actually higher than the pricier Z11 Turbo and that is a bit unexpected. The screen also hits 5,000 nits peak brightness with 2160Hz PWM dimming, so it stays comfortable during long use. The phone carries dual IP68 and IP69 ratings, so water and dust are not really a worry here.
Performance
Inside, the Z11 runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500, a 4nm chip that scores between 2.3 and 2.6 million on AnTuTu. That puts it ahead of the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, which is what most phones in this price range use. iQOO also includes their Monster Over-Core gaming engine, which helps keep things running well during heavy gaming. RAM goes up to 16GB and storage up to 512GB. PUBG and Genshin Impact both run on high settings without any major issues.
Camera
The camera is where things get a little average. There is a 50MP main camera with OIS and f/1.8 aperture, paired with a 2MP depth sensor for portraits. No ultra-wide camera, which is a bit of a letdown, but gaming phones usually make that compromise.
The front gets a 16MP camera for selfies. Video recording goes up to 4K with both OIS and gyro-EIS keeping footage steady.

Battery & Connectivity
The 9020mAh silicon-carbon battery is the biggest talking point of this phone. To put it in perspective, Samsung’s recently launched A-series phones are still shipping with 5,000mAh. iQOO says the Z11 can last up to 28 hours of video playback, and the 90W SuperFlash charging fills it up in around 30 to 40 minutes. It also supports 55W PD, 44W UFCS and reverse wired charging.
For connectivity, there is 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX HD, NFC and USB-C 2.0.

Conclusion
The iQOO Z11 is a phone that covers a lot of ground, especially if gaming and battery life are what you care about most. A 165Hz AMOLED screen, Dimensity 8500 and a 9020mAh battery together at this price is not something you come across every day. The camera could use some work, but that is something gaming phones often trade off. Hopefully the iQOO Z11 Nepal launch is not too far away, it would be a solid pick for buyers here.
