At first glance, you probably wouldn’t expect the iQOO Z11 to hide a massive battery inside, but that’s exactly what shocked me in this unboxing and full review. I’ve got the Azure Wave Radiance finish here, and it looks like a clean light blue until you tilt it—then you see those layered textures that make it feel fresh and dynamic. Even with the huge battery, it doesn’t feel bulky in hand thanks to the rounded edges, and that’s down to a real jump in battery density tech, not just making the phone thicker. I put the 9020mAh battery through a proper 3-hour test at 25°C, 200 nits brightness, 50% volume, on Wi‑Fi—and the drain was seriously impressive: 4% for an hour of 1080p streaming, then 8% and 10% in the next two hours of light use. Charging is just as wild: 90W flash charge took me from 1% to 49% in 30 minutes and 1% to 100% in exactly 1 hour. I also cover reverse charging (yes, it can act like a power bank), plus gaming performance with the Dimensity 8500 and 165Hz display—where my Honor of Kings test landed at an average 143.9 FPS with sensible temps. It’s not a camera-first phone, but for everyday shots, durability, and long-term reliability at around £250 (China price conversion), it’s insane value.
