Reviews for the Vivo iQOO Z11

iQOO Z11 review

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.
