Vivo iQOO Z11 Turbo

The Vivo iQOO Z11 Turbo has a non-folding, non-rugged form factor measuring 157.6 mm tall, 74.4 mm wide, and 7.9 mm thick, with a total volume of 92.63 cm³ and a weight of 202 g. Its standout physical attribute is an IP68 rating, certifying it as waterproof and capable of withstanding submersion down to 1.5 metres.

The display on the Vivo iQOO Z11 Turbo uses an OLED/AMOLED panel measuring 6.59″ with a resolution of 1260 x 2750 px and a pixel density of 466 ppi, resulting in a sharp and detailed image. It supports a 144Hz refresh rate and is a touch screen, though it does not include an Always-On Display mode, branded damage-resistant glass, or support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision. There is no secondary screen on this device.

The Vivo iQOO Z11 Turbo is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, a 3 nm chipset with an 8-thread CPU running at 2 x 3.8 GHz and 6 x 3.32 GHz using big.LITTLE architecture with HMP support, scoring 3600 single-core and 10800 multi-core on Geekbench 6. Graphics are handled by the Adreno 840 GPU clocked at 1200 MHz with 3 execution units, supporting DirectX 12, OpenGL 3.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 3, with output to one display. The chip includes integrated LTE, TrustZone security, and integrated graphics, and supports 64-bit processing with multithreading. Memory runs as DDR5 at 4800 MHz across 2 channels, delivering up to 84.8 GB/s bandwidth, with 16GB of RAM installed, a maximum supported capacity of 24GB, and 1024GB of internal storage on eMMC 5.1.

The main camera system is a dual-lens setup combining a 200 MP sensor at f/2.2 with an 8 MP sensor at f/1.9, both using CMOS technology without a back-illuminated sensor, and supported by optical image stabilisation, phase-detection autofocus, touch autofocus, and continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is not available. Video capture reaches up to 2160p at 30 fps with slow-motion recording supported, while HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not included. Manual controls extend to exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, with burst mode, panorama, and timelapse also on hand, though manual shutter speed and RAW capture are absent; the two LED flash units do not form a dual-tone or RGB configuration. The 32 MP front camera sits at f/2.2 in a conventional cutout position — not under the display — operates as a single lens without a front flash, and does not support 3D or 360-degree capture.

The device runs Android 16 as a free and open-source, multi-user operating system with on-device machine learning and offline voice recognition, though it does not receive direct OS updates from the vendor and does not support Quick Start. Privacy tools include clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, while cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are absent. Customisation is well covered through theme customisation, dynamic theming, dark mode, an extra dim mode, widgets, and customisable notifications, whereas focus modes and Wi-Fi password sharing are not available. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, Live Text, app offloading, the ability to play games while they download, a child lock, phone tracking, and a battery health check, though the device cannot be used as a PC.

The Vivo iQOO Z11 Turbo houses a 7600 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery with a visible battery level indicator. It supports 100W fast charging via cable, though wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are not available.

The Vivo iQOO Z11 Turbo features stereo speakers and a comprehensive set of Bluetooth audio codec support, covering aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, and aptX Lossless, though LDAC is not available. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack and no built-in radio.

The Vivo iQOO Z11 Turbo supports 5G cellular connectivity alongside a dual SIM configuration, with download speeds reaching 10000 MBits/s and upload speeds of 3500 MBits/s. Wireless networking covers Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, and 7, while Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC round out the short-range options; DLNA certification and ANT+ support are absent. The USB Type-C port runs at USB 2.0 speed, and there is no HDMI output, no external memory slot, and no stylus included. Security and biometrics are handled by a fingerprint scanner, though 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not present, and crash detection and emergency SOS via satellite are likewise unavailable. Sensors on board include a gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS with Galileo support, and a compass, while a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and motion or optical tracking are not featured, and the device does not include a built-in projector.

The Vivo iQOO Z11 Turbo includes a video light for recording in low-light conditions. The display is flat rather than curved, uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
