iQOO has quietly launched the Z11xa, a smartphone that, despite its new name, offers the same specifications and design as the existing Z11x model, but at a lower price point.
The main difference between the two models is the limited memory configuration and lower price of the Z11xa. It is available only with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, priced at approximately $306, compared to the 8GB + 128GB version of the Z11x, which costs around $327.
In terms of design and display, the Z11xa features a 6.76-inch LCD with a resolution of 1080 × 2344 pixels, supporting a 120Hz refresh rate and reaching up to 1,200 nits peak brightness. Its design and color options, including Titan Black and Prismatic Green, are identical to those of the Z11x.
Under the hood, the Z11xa is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400-Turbo chipset, running on Android 16 with OriginOS 6. The phone supports 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, and 5G networks, and its internal storage is 128GB, UFS 3.1, with no microSD slot available.
The camera setup of the Z11xa remains unchanged from the Z11x, featuring a 50MP main rear camera with a 2MP depth sensor and a 32MP front camera for selfies and video calls. The phone also includes electronic image stabilization (EIS) and supports 4K/30fps video recording.
Battery-wise, the Z11xa comes equipped with a large 7,200mAh battery, which supports 44W wired fast charging and up to 7.5W reverse wired charging, allowing the phone to supply power to other compatible devices.
While the Z11xa offers a more affordable option for consumers, it is important to note that the only significant difference is the price and memory configuration, with all other features remaining identical to the Z11x.
For those looking for a high-performance smartphone with the same specifications as the Z11x but at a lower cost, the Z11xa is a compelling choice.
