iQOO Z11 Turbo launches with 200MP camera, 144Hz OLED, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5

iQOO has officially confirmed the iQOO Z11 Turbo will launch in China on January 15 and continues to tease its features. This time the spotlight is on the camera, which the company positions as one of the most compelling in its class. The Z11 Turbo will be the brand’s first phone with a 200MP main camera. The 1/1.56-inch sensor sits behind an f/1.88 lens and features optical image stabilization, with stabilization performance said to meet the professional CIPA 4.5 standard.

The camera supports a true 4x lossless zoom and up to 40x digital magnification via software. Extras include AI-driven tools for cinematic shooting and intelligent frame processing right in the gallery. On the front, a 32MP wide-angle selfie camera offers three focal modes, making it more adaptable for selfies and video calls.

iQOO has also outlined the phone’s gaming credentials. The Z11 Turbo will debut the Global Esports Network System 2.0, built around the Thunder Z1 chip to boost signal strength. According to the company, the tech can cut in-game lag by nearly 77% even in tougher scenarios when a 5 GHz Wi‑Fi signal has to pass through several walls.

As for the rest of the hardware, the phone is expected to feature a 6.59-inch LTPS OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.1 storage up to 1 TB. Power comes from a 7,600 mAh battery with 100 W fast charging, while the body is said to measure around 7.9 mm thick and weigh about 202 grams. Rounding things out are an ultrasonic 3D fingerprint scanner, IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance, and Android 16 with OriginOS 6 out of the box. On paper, it’s an ambitious spec sheet for the segment.
