iQOO launched the Z11 Lite last month, and a few days ago, a media report claimed the brand was planning to bring the Z11 to India. That report has turned out to be correct, as iQOO India’s CEO Nipun Marya has now teased the launch of the Z11.
In a post on X, Marya said, “DO NOT READ THE FIRST LETTER OF EVERY LINE,” and wrote seven lines after that, whose first letters spelled out Z, E, L, E, V, E, and N — that’s 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

iQOO hasn’t revealed an exact launch date for the Z11 in India, but the media report mentioned above claimed the smartphone would arrive in the country this month.
India-Specific Specs
The report also claimed that the Indian Z11 will feature a 3D curved display and be powered by the Dimensity 7500 Turbo SoC — a different chipset from what the Chinese and Malaysian models carry.

The Chinese Z11 is powered by the Dimensity 8500 chip, while the Malaysian Z11 runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 SoC.
Contradicts Earlier Rumors
iQOO’s Z11 tease contradicts a rumor from last month that claimed the Z11 Lite would be the only iQOO smartphone to launch in India this year, with all other products — including the iQOO 16, expected to launch in China in September — reportedly canceled for the Indian market.
While more details about the Z11’s India launch are still forthcoming, you can check the detailed specs comparison of the Chinese and Malaysian iQOO Z11 in the meantime.
