Reviews for the Vivo iQOO Z11

iQoo Z11 5G review: Bright screen, good performance
Source: The Times of India English
iQoo Z11 5G is a capable mid-range smartphone that gets most of the basics right. Starting at Rs 34,999, it offers a large and smooth AMOLED display, dependable everyday performance and one of its biggest strengths — excellent battery life. However, it is not without compromises. The cameras are decent rather than exceptional, the plastic back does not feel particularly premium, and 44W charging feels a little slow for a phone in this price range.

Vivo iQOO Z11 (India) Overview, Pros and Cons
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Vivo iQOO Z11 is made to last. It has a glass front and a plastic body, but it is very tough. It is waterproof and dustproof, so you can drop it in water up to 1.5 meters deep for 30 minutes, and it will be fine. It can also handle strong water sprays and drops from up to 1.2 meters. It has a 144Hz refresh rate, which means everything moves very smoothly scrolling, gaming, and watching videos all feel great.

67% iQOO Z11 Review: Battery beast with a catch
Source: Digit.in English
After a week with the iQOO Z11, the pattern is fairly clear. Display and battery are the two things this phone gets right without much to argue about, a bright, accurate AMOLED panel backed by genuinely excellent brightness and colour numbers, paired with a battery that comfortably stretches past a single day. Performance holds up fine for daily use and the main camera handles almost everything well but sometimes struggle with portraits. At Rs 34,999, the Z11 makes the most sense for someone who prioritises screen quality and battery life over gaming headroom or portrait photography.

80% iQOO Z11 Review: A masterly jack of all trades…and a looker too!
Source: Tech PP English
Given the trend of insanely high prices, these are extremely competitive. In fact, although some might frown at the relatively modest RAM in the base 6 GB/ 128 GB model, the fact that it is priced below Rs 35,000 could tempt many users. Want to send images and videos to your iPhone-carrying friends? It can do that too. Want to get notes and summaries? Its AI will chip in, but it does the job.

The iQOO Z11 is the easier of the two sibling phones to recommend, but only by a small margin. It has a good display, dependable everyday performance, decent software support, and battery life that is clearly better optimised than what we experienced on the Vivo S2. There are still a few rough edges.

The iQOO Z11 gets a lot right. Particularly for 2026. It has a beautiful design, feels sturdy, and has a curved display that I enjoyed using. The 7050mAh battery is excellent, everyday performance is reliable, and the stereo speakers are another nice touch. The cameras are good enough for everyday photography and social media, even if they aren't the best in this segment.

iQOO Z11 Review: Strong Performance Where It Matters Most

Rather than being another affordable flagship killer in the traditional iQOO mould, the Z11 feels more like a well-rounded mid-range smartphone that focuses on getting the essentials right. Its Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset delivers dependable performance, the display is excellent, and the enormous battery capacity gives it a practical advantage over many rivals.

iQOO Z11 review
Source: NLT English
So, should you buy the iQOO Z11 then? At the official retail price of RM1,899 here in Malaysia, I’d say the price is… kinda a bit high? But iQOO Malaysia recognizes this and discounts the base version with 8GB RAM to RM1,599. That’s a bit more appropriate, I’d say. However, that 12GB variant at RM2,199 with no discounts – and that price is really difficult to swallow. Now, if you say “8GB RAM is not enough!!! ????” then calm down, sit down, and watch the other video that we did like 2 years ago. 8GB RAM is enough back then, and 8GB RAM is enough even for today. Your games will run fine, but if you open a lot of apps, then some of them will get suspended more often compared to having 12GB RAM. Again, not a big deal.

agship killer, this octa-core processor (with one fast 2.7 GHz core, three 2.4 GHz cores, and four efficiency cores) paired with an Adreno 810 GPU handles daily tasks, light gaming, and media streaming without breaking a sweat. You get either 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage UFS 3.1, though there is no microSD card slot. The camera setup is straightforward a 50 MP wide main shooter with OIS (optical image stabilization) and an auxiliary lens for depth or macro, plus a 32 MP selfie camera. Both can record 4K video at 30fps. The real star, however, is the massive 9020 mAh silicon carbon battery, easily enough for two full days of normal use.
