iQOO Z11 Lite – Key Features (Leaked)
In the same X post, the iQOO Z11 Lite is also tipped to feature MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 processor. This is the same chipset that was used in the iQOO Z10 Lite 5G in 2025.
Although the processor may remain unchanged, the new model is expected to receive upgrades in other areas. The tipster has also claimed that the phone will pack a 6,500mAh battery, which would be larger than the 6,000mAh unit found on its predecessor.
Charging capabilities could also see a significant improvement. The leak suggests the smartphone will support 44W fast charging, a notable jump from the 15W charging offered on the previous-generation model.
On the software front, the handset is expected to ship with OriginOS 6 out of the box. The device is also said to include AI-driven features aimed at content creation and caption generation.
As of now, there is no clarity on whether the reported launch timeline is specifically for India. However, if the device arrives in the country, it is expected to be positioned below the iQOO Z11x, which is currently priced between Rs. 22,999 and Rs. 26,999. As a result, the iQOO Z11 Lite could potentially be launched in the sub-Rs. 20,000 segment.
We can expect more details to emerge as the launch date approaches.
