iQOO Z11 Turbo: Affordable smartphone with up to 1TB storage and 5,000 nits now orderable via import

The Vivo iQOO Z11 Turbo was officially launched in China just a few days ago and can already be ordered via direct import. Prices start at $441 for the version with 16GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The 16/512GB variant costs $547, while the top version with 1TB of storage is priced at $640. Shipping costs are not included. Buyers should note that warranty claims might be difficult to enforce. In China, the Vivo iQOO Z11 Turbo retails for the equivalent of around $350. These prices include the usual markup for imports, but it’s not excessively high in this case.

The Vivo iQOO Z11 Turbo aims to offer a lot of performance for a mid-range price point. Therefore, the phone is equipped with the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and a 6.59-inch AMOLED screen with a brightness of up to 5,000 nits. However, the Chinese smartphone maker had to cut some costs in terms of the cameras. While flagship smartphones often sport a telephoto lens, the Vivo iQOO Z11 Turbo only comes with a 200MP main camera and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera. According to Vivo, the smartphone meets the IP69 rating, while the fingerprint sensor is integrated into the display. The generously sized 7,600mAh battery can be charged at up to 100 watts.

According to TradingShenzhen, region-specific limitations are relatively minor. While certain LTE bands are not supported, the phone can be used in various languages and has access to the Google Play. Android Auto is also supported, but eSIM cards are not.
