I'm sure we're all used to the "January launch" hype. Every brand claims they’ve reinvented the wheel. But the iQOO Z11 Turbo? It’s actually looking like a problem for the big guys. This thing just popped up on Geekbench (model V2536A), and the numbers are honestly mind-blowing for a phone that’s supposed to be "mid-range."
Key Points:
- iQOO Z11 Turbo hits Geekbench with the elite Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.
- Packs a massive 7,600mAh Silicon-Carbon battery for multi-day usage.
- Features a high-end 200MP Samsung main camera with OIS.
- Runs on Android 16 with a heavy 16GB RAM configuration.
- Expected to disrupt the market with a roughly $350 launch price.
The Speed is Just absurd
Single-core at 2,753 and multi-core at 8,990. You don't need to be a nerd to see that's flagship territory. It confirms the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is actually in there. iQOO isn't playing around. They’ve paired it with 16GB of RAM and Android 16. Basically, it's a supercomputer for the price of a mid-tier tablet. If you’re a gamer, your ears should be perking up.
Finally, a Battery That Isn't a Joke
Here’s the part that actually matters for real life: 7,600mAh. That’s not a typo. Usually, a battery that big turns a phone into a brick. But iQOO is using silicon-carbon tech to keep it around 8mm thin.
You also get 120W charging. That means you can fill this massive tank in about 35 minutes. Forget the "low battery" anxiety. You could probably go three days without even thinking about a wall plug.
The Catch? (Maybe the Camera)
They put a 200MP Samsung HP5 sensor on the back. It’s got OIS, so your shaky-hand photos might actually turn out sharp. The "sacrifice" is the 8MP ultra-wide lens, which is pretty much just filler. But at 2,500 Yuan (~$350), who cares about the ultra-wide? You’re getting the fastest chip on the planet and a battery that refuses to die.
January can't come fast enough - for me at least!
