iQOO Z11 Turbo Teased with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, 200MP Camera

iQOO has just pulled back the curtain on its next performance beast, the Z11 Turbo, and the specs are looking seriously aggressive for a phone launching in early 2026. The company released the first official teaser, confirming a powerhouse chipset and a massive camera sensor that could shake up the mid-range flagship segment, especially if it expands to other markets beyond China and India.

The phone is slated for a China launch in January 2026. iQOO has already started a unique pre-order campaign there called the ‘lucky bag,’ where for just 1 Yuan, users can secure a bundle worth 2,405 Yuan. This is a common hype-building tactic in China, though it’s unclear if similar promotions will be available in other markets.

Now, let’s talk about what’s under the hood. The Z11 Turbo is confirmed to run on Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. It also packs a 200-megapixel primary rear camera.

The device boasts both IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. This means it can handle submersion and high-pressure water jets, a level of protection rarely seen at this tier. The build uses a metal middle frame and a glass back, promising a premium feel.

Other premium features include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, which is typically faster and more reliable than optical ones. The design shows a flat display with flat edges, a squircle-shaped camera module on the top-left, and a distinctive vertical pill-shaped LED flash. A sleek blue color variant was shown in the teaser.

The big question is always availability and pricing. Rumors suggest a starting price around 2,500 Yuan (approximately $350 (roughly PHP 20,568). There’s also chatter that this model could launch in India as the iQOO Neo 11, which sometimes hints at broader Asian market plans.

What do you think? Is a phone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and a 200MP camera something you’d line up for in 2026, especially if it lands here with a competitive price? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
