iQOO Z11 Just Revealed Its Screen, And It’s Curved Now

August 9, 2026

iQOO‘s slowly unveilling the Z11 model just a few days ahead of its August 20 India launch, and this time it’s the display’s turn. Who’s curious to see how it looks?

Summary

iQOO confirmed the Z11 will feature a 6.83-inch 3D curved AMOLED display with a 93.82% screen-to-body ratio and slim bezels.
The phone uses a one-piece narrow frame paired with curved glass for a more premium in-hand feel.
The Z11 will debut in India with MediaTek‘s Dimensity 7500 Turbo chipset, claimed to hit around 1.2 million points on AnTuTu.
The Chinese version of the Z11 uses a different, more powerful Dimensity 8500 chipset, making the India model a distinct variant rather than a direct port.
Camera, battery, and charging details remain unconfirmed ahead of the phone’s August 20 India launch.

“iQOO is also using a one-piece narrow frame design, which helps keep the display area visually expansive while maintaining a relatively compact profile.” — the design detail doing more work than the chipset here.

The main thing we need to pay attention to is the 6.83 inch 3D curved AMOLED panel with a 93.82% screen-to-body ratio, which is genuinely high for a phone in this price range. The images iQOO shared show a centered punch-hole up top, slim bezels running around the edges, and what looks like a proper attempt at making this thing feel premium rather than just functional.

Here’s the detail I actually care about, though. iQOO’s pairing that curved panel with a one-piece narrow frame, no visible seams, metal-looking sides that wrap around the curved glass. On paper this sounds like marketing fluff, but it’s the kind of design choice that actually changes how a phone feels in your hand. Whether it translates to real-world durability is a different question, we’ll find out once reviewers get their hands on units.

This follows last week’s chipset reveal, where iQOO confirmed the Z11 will ship with MediaTek’s Dimensity 7500 Turbo, a mouthful of a name for what’s essentially a tuned version of the standard Dimensity 7500. iQOO’s claiming around 1.2 million points on AnTuTu, which sounds impressive until you remember AnTuTu numbers from brands always sound impressive. Earlier Geekbench AI listings pegged the phone at 12GB RAM running Android 16, so that part’s basically locked in.

Worth flagging, the Chinese Z11 actually runs a Dimensity 8500, a noticeably beefier chip. So the India model isn’t a straight port, iQOO’s clearly building a different value proposition for this market, leaning harder into design and display quality while dialing back the raw silicon. Not necessarily a bad call, most people buying in this segment care more about how a phone looks and feels than benchmark scores anyway.

Still missing from the picture: camera setup, battery capacity, and charging speed. Given how methodically iQOO’s been drip-feeding details, expect those to trickle out over the next week or two before the actual launch.
