iQOO is gearing up to unveil its first Z series smartphone of 2026 and the first in its arsenal to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. The iQOO Z11 Turbo will make its debut in China next week and will feature a heavy emphasis on performance.

iQOO Z11 Turbo Launch Date

iQOO has officially confirmed that the iQOO Z11 Turbo will launch in China on January 15, 2026, expanding the brand’s Z-series portfolio with a device that blurs the line between upper mid-range and flagship territory. With top-tier silicon, an oversized battery, and premium build elements, the Z11 Turbo is shaping up to be one of the most aggressively specced phones in its segment.

iQOO Z11 Turbo Specifications

At the heart of the iQOO Z11 Turbo is Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, paired with the Adreno 829 GPU, positioning the device firmly for high-end gaming and sustained performance. The phone will run Android 16 out of the box and is expected to be offered with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, ensuring fast app launches, smooth multitasking, and long-term performance stability.

On the front, the Z11 Turbo features a 6.59-inch flat LTPS OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, aimed at delivering fluid visuals for gaming and scrolling while maintaining efficiency. iQOO is also including a 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, a feature usually reserved for more expensive flagships.

Photography duties are handled by a 200MP primary rear camera, accompanied by an 8MP secondary sensor, while selfies and video calls are managed by a 32MP front camera. Powering the device is a massive 7,600mAh battery, supported by 120W wired fast charging, which should translate to quick top-ups despite the large cell.

In terms of durability and design, the iQOO Z11 Turbo comes with a metal frame, glass back, and IP68 and IP69 ratings, offering resistance against dust, water immersion, and high-pressure water jets. The inclusion of a Q2 chip further hints at enhanced gaming optimisation and display control.

While iQOO has not officially revealed pricing yet, the Z11 Turbo is expected to be positioned competitively in China, likely undercutting traditional flagships while offering comparable core hardware. Pricing details should be announced closer to launch.
