iQOO Sets July 24 India Launch for Z11 Lite 5G

iQOO confirmed it will launch the Z11 Lite 5G smartphone in India on July 24. This device succeeds the Z10 Lite and targets the entry-level 5G market, specifically students and Gen-Z consumers, with an estimated starting price under Rs 20,000.

Nipun Marya, CEO of iQOO India, teased the device on X, describing it as a budget-friendly option. The Z11 Lite 5G features a 6.74-inch 120Hz LCD screen and is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 5G chipset. Its primary selling points are battery endurance and reliability, utilizing a 6,500mAh battery with 44W fast charging. The phone runs on OriginOS based on Android 16 and includes Non-Stop Intelligence AI tools for content generation.

Design elements include a flat plastic frame and a multi-color notification LED ring called Dynamic Light located beneath the rear camera modules. The device will be available in Solar Flame and Midnight colors. It will be sold through the iQOO India online store and Amazon.in.

Separately, reports indicate iQOO is also preparing to launch the iQOO Z11 in India. While the Chinese and Malaysian versions use a Dimensity 8500 chipset and a 9,020mAh battery, the Indian model may differ, potentially utilizing a MediaTek Dimensity 7500 SoC as a rebranded vivo S60e Vitality Edition.
