The budget smartphone iQOO Z11i debuted in China today. It's inexpensive, but offers 5G access and a decent battery.
The new iQOO doesn't exactly impress with its specifications, but it does have a few good features. One of them is certainly the 6500 mAh battery, although only with 15-watt charging. Also worth mentioning are the presence of an infrared transmitter, a minijack, IP65 waterproofing, and the 5-star SGS durability standard. The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor, supported by LPDDR4x and UFS 3.1 memory, also doesn't disappoint in the budget segment. Furthermore, their capacities start at a manageable 6GB+128GB setup.

Unfortunately, things get a bit weaker from there. The iQOO Z11i has a 6.74-inch LCD screen, perhaps with a 120Hz refresh rate, but only with HD+ resolution. The cameras aren't exactly impressive either: the front camera is only 5 megapixels, while the rear camera has 13. The iQOO Z11i is available in three colors, and a colorful notification LED on the back adds a touch of variety. There are three memory options to choose from:
- 6+128 GB - 1299 yuan, $190
- 8+128 GB - 1499 yuan, $210
- 8+256 GB - 1699 yuan, $240
