iQOO has officially started teasing a new Z-series smartphone for the Indian market.

iQOO Z11 Lite design revealed ahead of India launch

The teaser suggests the iQOO Z11 Lite is designed for students and Gen Z users. iQOO is promoting the phone with the tagline “Built to keep up, Powered by AI, Made to stand out.”

The official teaser reveals a vertically aligned camera module on the back. However, it is still unclear whether the phone features one or two rear cameras. The camera island also includes an LED flash and a circular ring, which could serve as a notification light.

The iQOO Z11 Lite will be available through Amazon India and is also expected to arrive on iQOO’s official website after launch.

iQOO 16 rumored to skip Indian market

Meanwhile, tipsters’ claims suggest iQOO may not launch the flagship iQOO 16 in India. According to the report, rising memory costs could push its price above ₹85,000, making a launch less likely. The same source also claims the Z11 Lite could be the only budget Z-series smartphone iQOO launches in India this year, while several other planned devices have reportedly been cancelled.

iQOO has not announced the launch date of the Z11 Lite yet. More details are expected to arrive in the coming days.
