iQOO Z11x Spotted on Geekbench: A Refined Look at the Upcoming Budget 5G Contender

by

The budget smartphone market is about to get a new player. The iQOO Z11x has officially surfaced on the Geekbench database, providing a first look at its performance capabilities and internal hardware. Carrying the model number I2507, this device appears to be a steady evolution of its predecessor, the Z10x.

Geekbench Performance Breakdown

The leaked benchmarks suggest that the iQOO Z11x will prioritize efficiency and software longevity. According to the listing, the device achieved the following scores:

  • Single-Core Score: 1,057
  • Multi-Core Score: 2,507
  • Operating System: Android 16
  • RAM: 8GB (Top-tier configuration)

Hardware Evolution: Dimensity 7400

At the heart of the iQOO Z11x lies the MediaTek Dimensity 7400. This chipset represents a “refresh” rather than a total overhaul of the Dimensity 7300 found in the previous model.

While the core architecture remains familiar, users can expect:

  1. Slightly Higher Clock Speeds: For snappier app launches.
  2. Enhanced AI Processing: Improving background task management and camera post-processing.
  3. Modern Software: Being among the first in its price bracket to ship with Android 16.

Market Strategy and Expected Pricing

Given that the iQOO Z10x debuted in April 2025 with a starting price of ₹12,499, industry experts expect the Z11x to land in a similar sub-₹13,000 range.

The Rebranding Factor: Following iQOO’s traditional playbook, the Z11x is expected to launch as an Amazon-exclusive in India. However, it is highly likely to see a parallel release on Flipkart under the Vivo T-series branding—potentially as the Vivo T5x. This allows the parent company to capture multiple online retail channels simultaneously.

Competition and Target Audience

The iQOO Z11x will enter a crowded arena, facing off against the Redmi 15C, Realme P3 series, and Samsung Galaxy M17.

  • Who is it for? Ideal for users upgrading from older 4G devices or entry-level 5G phones who want the latest Android version and reliable daily performance.
  • Who should skip? Current iQOO Z10x owners may find the performance jump too marginal to justify an immediate upgrade.
