The strongest headline in iQOO’s latest midrange move is not the brand’s naming strategy or even its pricing ladder. It is the sheer battery capacity, led by the iQOO Z11 with a 9020mAh cell that makes its Rp 3.6 million starting point look unusually aggressive for the class.
That battery-first positioning is now part of iQOO’s wider push in Indonesia, where the company has introduced the iQOO Z11 and iQOO Z11x as new options for users looking for stronger performance, longer endurance, updated software, and larger storage choices. The launch took place in Jakarta on 25 May 2026, and both phones arrive with specifications aimed at buyers who want a lot of hardware without crossing into flagship pricing.
Pricing puts the Z11x as the entry point
The lower-priced model in the lineup is the iQOO Z11x, which starts at Rp 3.699.000 for the 6/128 GB variant. Higher options include the 8/128 GB model at Rp 4.199.000 and the 8/256 GB version at Rp 4.799.000.
The iQOO Z11 sits above it with a starting price of Rp 4.999.000 for 8/128 GB. Its other configurations are Rp 5.699.000 for 8/256 GB and Rp 6.899.000 for 12/256 GB.
Battery capacity becomes the main sales argument
Battery life is clearly the most distinctive part of the series. The iQOO Z11 combines a 9020mAh battery with 90W fast charging, a pairing that stands out sharply in the midrange segment.
iQOO also adds bypass charging and reverse charging to the Z11. Those functions are useful for gaming sessions and for keeping device temperature more stable while connected to power.
The iQOO Z11x follows a different but still practical formula. It carries a 7200mAh battery with 44W fast charging, keeping the focus on long usage rather than a slim battery spec sheet.
What the iQOO Z11 brings
On the display side, the iQOO Z11 uses a 6.83-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution at 2800 x 1260 pixels. The screen supports a 144Hz refresh rate, HDR, and peak brightness up to 5000 nits.
Performance is handled by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 built on 4nm architecture. iQOO pairs it with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, while a 7000mm² vapor chamber is included to help maintain stable performance under heavier loads.
The camera setup is led by a 50 MP Sony IMX882 main sensor with OIS. It is joined by a 2 MP depth sensor, while the front camera uses a 32 MP unit.
Extra features and durability on the higher model
The iQOO Z11 also includes stereo speakers, NFC, an IR blaster, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. It runs Android 16 with OriginOS 6, and iQOO promises three Android updates plus six years of security patches.
Durability is another strong point. The device carries IP68/IP69 ratings and MIL-STD-810H certification, and it comes in Glacier Blue and Cosmic Black.
What the iQOO Z11x offers instead
The iQOO Z11x uses a different display approach with an IPS LCD panel measuring 6.76 inches to 6.78 inches. It has FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of 1200 nits, which still supports outdoor use even though it is not an AMOLED panel.
Its performance package is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo based on 4nm. The chip is matched with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, while the rear camera setup again consists of a 50 MP Sony main sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor.
The front camera on the Z11x is also 32 MP and supports 4K video recording. Other features include stereo speakers, NFC, a hardware gyroscope, gaming-oriented functions, IP68/IP69 protection, and MIL-STD-810J certification. Color options are Black and Silver.
Two models, different priorities
The two phones are aimed at different buying priorities, even though they share the same family focus on endurance and value. The iQOO Z11 puts more weight on display quality, faster charging, and higher memory options, while the iQOO Z11x leans on a lower entry price and a large battery that still comes with a full set of useful features.
