iQOO Z11 Global Variant Spotted with Snapdragon Chipset on Benchmark Platform
New listing hints at hardware changes in upcoming international model including different processor Android version and performance scores suggesting a shift from the China variant specifications
A new development suggests that the global version of the iQOO Z11 could arrive with notable hardware changes compared to its China counterpart. The device has appeared on the popular benchmarking platform Geekbench, hinting at a different processor for international markets.
According to details shared by tipster Abhishek Yadav on social media platform X, the smartphone was listed with the model number Vivo I2512. The benchmark scores show 1,214 points in the single core test and 3,091 points in the multi core test, giving an early look at its expected performance.
The listing indicates that the global variant may be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, marking a shift from the China version which features the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 processor. This change suggests that the company could be tailoring performance and efficiency based on different markets. The device is also expected to run on Android 16 out of the box.
The version launched earlier in China focuses heavily on battery and endurance. It comes equipped with a massive 9,020 mAh battery, branded as Blue Ocean, along with support for 90W fast charging. This makes it one of the larger battery capacities seen in recent smartphones, aimed at users who prioritize long usage without frequent charging.
In terms of camera hardware, the China variant includes a dual rear setup housed in a square module. It features a 50 megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilization, paired with a secondary 2 megapixel sensor. On the front, a 16 megapixel camera handles selfies and video calls.
Meanwhile, the company has also been active in India with the launch of the iQOO Z11x 5G, which targets a slightly different segment. This model features a 6.76 inch LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and strong brightness levels, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo chipset.
The iQOO Z11x 5G also includes a dual rear camera system led by a 50 megapixel sensor, along with a 32 megapixel front camera. It packs a 7,200 mAh battery with 44W fast charging support, offering a balance between performance and battery life for everyday users.
While the company has not officially confirmed details of the global iQOO Z11, the Geekbench listing points to a possible launch in international markets soon. If the chipset change is confirmed, it could signal a strategic move to optimize the device for broader global appeal.
