iQOO Z11 5G

The 7050 mAh battery is far larger than most phones at this price. It is built for heavy use days and can comfortably stretch well beyond a single day for lighter users.

The curved AMOLED panel runs at 144 Hz and reaches 3000 nits peak brightness. Its 1260x2800 resolution also looks sharper than the Full HD screens many rivals still use.

It scores about 1.1 million on AnTuTu, which puts it around the upper middle of this price range. App launches, multitasking and most games should feel fast and stable.

The 50 MP main camera includes optical stabilisation, which helps in low light and steadier video. The 8 MP ultrawide also adds useful flexibility for landscapes and group shots.

IP68 and IP69 protection is still a real advantage in this class. It adds peace of mind against dust, rain and accidental water exposure.

44W charging is usable, but this class has many faster options. With such a large battery, topping up takes longer than buyers at this price may expect.

Starting with 6 GB RAM at ₹34,999 is hard to justify in a category where 8 GB is the norm and 12 GB is common. Long-term multitasking headroom is better on the 12 GB version.

You get a solid main camera and an ultrawide, but no dedicated zoom lens. Distant subjects will not stay as sharp as on the better camera-focused rivals.

NFC is still not universal here, but enough rivals offer it that its absence stands out. That limits tap-to-pay convenience and some accessory pairing features.
