Are you tired of sifting through countless Max models? Do you find the oversized screens inconvenient for everyday use? If so, you might want to take a closer look at the iQOO Z11 Turbo. This device sports a 6.59-inch screen with generously rounded R-corners, ensuring an ultra-comfortable grip. Its performance is amplified by a dual-core setup, featuring the fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 processor and iQOO's proprietary gaming chip, the Q2. The camera system is equally impressive, boasting a 200MP sensor that delivers an unexpected telephoto shooting experience.

6.59-Inch Screen with Large R-Corners

Traditionally, performance-focused phones have prioritized maximizing screen size. However, the iQOO Z11 Turbo strikes a balance between hand feel and daily user experience, resulting in a 6.59-inch screen. While this may not seem drastically different from some 6.78-inch phones on paper, the actual difference in hand feel is quite noticeable.

For instance, the iQOO Z11 Turbo's body width has been further narrowed to 74.42mm, providing a better grip. Additionally, it allows for more thumb coverage when held in one hand, making single-handed typing effortless.

The iQOO Z11 Turbo features a straight-edge metal frame paired with a glass back, giving it a refined overall texture. The camera design is innovative, with the horizontal dual-camera setup neatly concealed within the Deco. A small "200MP" label is positioned in the upper left corner, and the camera protrusion is minimal, resulting in a clean and tidy appearance.

The phone's front boasts a 6.59-inch screen with a resolution of 2750×1260 and a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz. The screen supports a minimum brightness of 1nit for eye protection and a local peak brightness of 5000nit. For enhanced eye comfort, it features DC-like dimming, 4320Hz ultra-high-frequency dimming, and full DC dimming via software. Additionally, the screen has passed SGS hardware-level low blue light and low flicker certification.

The screen's front view is impressive, with well-controlled black borders on all sides. The R-corners match the design of the iPhone, providing a visually elegant and harmonious look.

Dual-Core Boost: How's the Gaming Experience?

The iQOO Z11 Turbo is powered by the Qualcomm fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 processor, which utilizes a 3nm TSMC process. The CPU features two super cores with a maximum frequency of 3.8GHz and six performance cores with a frequency of 3.32GHz. The GPU is the Qualcomm Adreno 840, offering an 11% performance increase.

In addition to the flagship processor, the iQOO Z11 Turbo is equipped with iQOO's self-developed gaming chip, the Q2. This chip enables super-resolution and super-framing in games, providing a smoother and more detailed gaming visual experience.

Of course, the iQOO Z11 Turbo also features LPDDR5X Ultra memory and UFS 4.1 flash storage, demonstrating ample sincerity in hardware for a phone in this price range.

Next up is the gaming test, starting with Honor of Kings. It's worth mentioning that as a technical strategic partner of Honor of Kings, iQOO has collaborated with the game to deeply optimize the gaming experience. Many iQOO models, including the Z11 Turbo, can enjoy better frame rates and image quality.

The iQOO Z11 Turbo supports 144fps + extreme image quality settings in Honor of Kings and has passed KPL competition phone testing certification. During our test at 144fps + extreme image quality, the average frame rate reached 144.5fps, with an average power consumption of 3.58W. The frame rate graph showed no frame drops throughout the game.

Moving on to the more demanding Genshin Impact, the phone was set to Monster mode with high image quality and 60fps enabled. With the help of the self-developed gaming chip Q2, the Z11 Turbo can achieve super-resolution and super-framing in Genshin Impact.

We chose the extreme image quality setting, which significantly improved the game's screen resolution to 1.5K. Compared to the original image quality, the super-resolved image showed a noticeable improvement in quality, providing a pleasant viewing experience.

During a 30-minute Genshin Impact map exploration test, the Z11 Turbo achieved an average frame rate of 60.2fps and a power consumption of 3.98W. The game ran smoothly without any frame drops or stutters.

How about the heat dissipation performance? Using an infrared thermometer for testing, the highest temperature was observed on the frame, reaching 43.2℃.

It's worth mentioning that the iQOO Z11 Turbo's gaming super-resolution and super-framing will also be compatible with games like Nikki: Miracle Warmth, Love and Producer, Shining Nikki, and Nikki Up2U.

In terms of gaming, the iQOO Z11 Turbo offers a stable and smooth gaming experience, excellent heat control, and super-resolution and super-framing performance brought by the self-developed gaming chip Q2, meeting the expectations of gamers.

An Unexpectedly Impressive Imaging Experience

The iQOO Z11 Turbo features a dual-camera setup on the rear, including a 200MP main sensor with a large base. The sensor is the Samsung HP5, with a size of 1/1.56 inches and an f/1.88 large aperture, supporting OIS optical image stabilization.

The performance of the main camera is naturally impressive, delivering excellent image quality in both daylight and low-light conditions.

iQOO has made numerous optimizations for this main camera, providing not only 4x lossless zoom image quality but also up to 40x digital zoom. In practice, the lens maintains relatively good image quality and viewing experience even when zoomed in to 4x.

Moreover, when zooming in over 10x, the phone can enable the telephoto enhancement algorithm. After pressing the shutter, the phone's background will perform cloud-based telephoto enhancement processing on the photo, improving the details.

Through comparison, it can be seen that it provides a better viewing experience than ordinary 10x digital zoom. Although the iQOO Z11 Turbo does not have a telephoto lens, it offers a decent zoom shooting experience through this large-base 200MP main camera.

Additionally, the iQOO Z11 Turbo features an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, which delivers acceptable image quality in well-lit scenes.

Although this phone is more performance-oriented, its outstanding 200MP large-base main camera and software algorithm optimizations have exceeded my expectations in terms of imaging performance.

7600mAh Large Battery with 100W Fast Charging

The iQOO Z11 Turbo houses a 7600mAh ultra-thin blue ocean large battery, which incorporates fourth-generation silicon anode technology and second-generation semi-solid battery technology, improving energy density and enhancing low-temperature discharge capabilities.

With a 7600mAh battery capacity, even with moderate to heavy usage, the phone can last a full day without any issues. In our tests, playing Honor of Kings for 45 minutes consumed 9% of the battery, while playing Genshin Impact for 30 minutes consumed 8%.

In terms of charging, the 100W fast charging is impressive. Starting from 1%, the phone can charge to 36% in 20 minutes, 53% in 30 minutes, and reach 100% in less than 60 minutes. Despite the large battery, the charging speed remains fast.

Of course, the iQOO Z11 Turbo also supports Global Direct Drive Power Supply 2.0, which enables it to intelligently adapt the current according to temperature and scenarios when charging while playing games. This reduces phone heating and extends battery lifespan.

Summary: Dual Chips + 200 Megapixels, Delivering Both Performance and Imaging

The iQOO Z11 Turbo is a sufficiently distinctive phone. Firstly, in terms of performance, the fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 processor, paired with the self-developed gaming chip Q2, delivers powerful performance release. It also features super-resolution and super-framing capabilities to meet the needs of more gamers. In terms of imaging, with its 200-megapixel large sensor and excellent algorithm performance, it even provides an imaging experience that exceeds expectations.

Meanwhile, the 6.59-inch large R-corner mid-sized screen allows the iQOO Z11 Turbo to balance size and hand feel comfort, which is believed to attract more users who care about their daily phone usage experience.
