iQOO Z11 Turbo : The iQOO Z11 Turbo landed in mid-January like a thunderclap, stuffing flagship firepower into a mid-range shell that laughs at premium price tags while outlasting rivals on sheer juice alone.

A monstrous 7600mAh silicon-carbon battery, and a 200MP main camera that turns casual snaps into scroll-stoppers.
