iQOO India CEO Drops New Teasers
The latest hints about the iQOO Z11 come from Nipun Marya through two posts on X. In the first post, Marya shared an acrostic where the first letter of each line formed the word “ZELEVEN,” strongly suggesting that the teaser is for the iQOO Z11.
DO NOT READ THE FIRST LETTER OF EVERY LINE.
Zero spoilers from me.
Everything is nearly ready.
Launch mode is officially on.
Eleven may be relevant.
Very relevant.
Excited to share more soon.
Now, I should probably stop.#iQOO— Nipun Marya (@nipunmarya) August 1, 2026
He later followed it up with another post featuring a hand-drawn sketch of a smartphone alongside the caption, “Not every sketch belongs on paper.” The illustration appears to reveal a device with a slim body, a 3D curved rear panel, and narrow bezels.

iQOO Z11 India Launch Timeline
Although the company has remained silent on the exact launch schedule, earlier reports indicate that the iQOO Z11 could make its India debut sometime in August.
If the leaks prove accurate, the Indian variant will differ from its global counterparts in terms of hardware.
iQOO Z11 Expected Specifications
Previous leaks suggest that the Indian version of the iQOO Z11 will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7500 Turbo chipset. This would make it different from the Chinese and Malaysian models. The Chinese variant was introduced with the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 processor, while the Malaysian version is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset.
The smartphone is also expected to feature a 1.5K curved OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. It is tipped to pack a battery between 7,000mAh and 8,000mAh along with support for 90W fast charging.
For photography, the iQOO Z11 is rumoured to offer a 50-megapixel primary camera with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS). On the front, it may feature a 32-megapixel selfie camera.
Other expected features include an in-display fingerprint scanner, IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, and 8GB as well as 12GB RAM options.
The iQOO Z11 is expected to be priced at around Rs. 35,000 in India, placing it in a higher segment than its predecessor.
With iQOO’s teaser campaign now underway, more official details about the iQOO Z11 including its launch date and complete specifications are expected to be revealed in the coming days.
