iQOO Z11 Lite launches in India with student‑focused pricing

iQOO has officially launched the Z11 Lite 5G smartphone in India, pricing the base model at an effective Rs 17,999 after launch discounts. The phone is positioned for students and everyday multitasking, and is sold through Amazon, the iQOO e‑store, select Vivo stores and offline retailers.

The Z11 Lite is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 chipset, features a 6.74‑inch 120 Hz display that can reach up to 1,200 nits of brightness, and is protected by an IP65 rating and Swiss SGS five‑star drop‑resistance certification. It carries a 6,500 mAh BlueVolt battery with 44 W FlashCharge support, a 50 MP Sony IMX852 main camera, and runs OriginOS 6 with AI‑driven productivity tools.

A side‑by‑side comparison with Realme’s P4R highlights that while both phones share the same chipset, the iQOO Z11 Lite offers a lighter body, a stronger Sony camera sensor, and a headphone jack, whereas the Realme P4R offers larger battery capacity, higher refresh‑rate display and a lower price at each storage tier.
