Hackbox, 17 Mar 2026Dimensity 8500 is for Chinese z11. For global, snapdragon 7... morenot sure about global but for India, Z11 with 8500 is the only logical device to launch in this price segment considering that,

• India is a huge market for Iqoo and they need a device in this price segment (25k to 35k)
• Iqoo Neo series is cancelled in India for this year. This series fulfilled the performance centric crowd and the price segment criteria.
• Iqoo competes with Poco and OnePlus with competing devices, and both have launched devices with D8500 and 8s gen 4.
• launching a Z11 with 7s gen 4 in this price bracket in India will be a disaster as the phone would be worse than poco and OnePlus for the performance crowd, and worse than moto, nothing and oppo for the normie premium crowd.
• The only other way for Iqoo to compete in this segment would be to launch a z11 with 7s gen 4 cheaper than moto, nothing and oppo; then launch a z11 turbo with a D9400 variant priced higher than poco and OnePlus (this being highly unlikely)

imo, Iqoo will launch this Chinese Z11 branded as Z11 pro/turbo globally and cancel the base Z11 or they might rebrand the Z series as a performance + premium device similarly to Iqoo 15r which would follow the overall brand strategy of pivoting to non-gamer consumers.
