Summary

  • RM1,459 iQOO Z11S debuts as the brand’s first phone with a 10,000mAh battery, aimed at heavy users who want fewer charging stops.
  • A 144Hz display keeps gaming and scrolling smooth, pairing high-refresh performance with a battery large enough to better absorb the extra power draw.
  • Up to 44W charging trails the regular Z11’s 90W, so buyers are trading faster refills for a larger energy reserve that could reduce the need for a power bank.
  • At 8.59mm thick and 225g, the Z11S is slightly bulkier than the regular Z11, which has a 9,020mAh battery and weighs about 216.5g.
  • The phone’s appeal is strongest for commuters, gamers, travelers and hotspot users, while lighter-use buyers may see less benefit from the added size.

Insights

Will iQOO's massive 10,000mAh semi-solid battery eliminate range anxiety, or will its slower 44W charging speed become a frustrating daily hurdle?
Can the Z11S's mid-range Dimensity 7500 chip actually sustain 144Hz gaming without rapidly draining its heavily marketed semi-solid battery?
With true solid-state tech still emerging in 2026, is this semi-solid 10,000mAh smartphone the ultimate endurance device or just a heavy compromise?
