First Impressions of the Camera

At first glance, the camera module of the iQOO Z11X immediately stands out. The phone features a clean dual-camera layout housed inside a modern square-shaped camera island, accompanied by an LED flash and a ring-style light that adds a unique visual touch. The arrangement looks neat and balanced, giving the back panel a slightly bold yet premium aesthetic.


What I personally like is how the camera module blends with the overall design of the device. It doesn't feel overly flashy, but it still has enough character to catch your attention. The subtle symmetry of the lenses and lighting elements makes the camera area look well-organized and thoughtfully designed.


Even before exploring the camera performance, the design itself gives a sense that the camera system has been given special attention.

Portrait Mode 👤

Portrait mode creates a pleasing background blur effect while keeping the subject in focus. Edge detection works well in almost all the cases, making portraits look natural. Also, the adjustable apurture help to control the depth in the portrait mode.

The portrait mode has one of the coolest feature incorporated in it, which is the variable Bokeh Mode. It has three cool mode (Natural, Rotary Focus and Bubbles). They are super cool to use.

Video Recording 🎥

The camera supports 4K 30FPS video recording, allowing users to capture sharper and more detailed videos compared to standard recording modes.


Special mention to the Stabilization feature in the video mode. It helps reduce the shakiness in the video output. The Stabilization is at par with many high end smartphones in the market.


Also, wanted to share about a cool feature named 'Teleprompter'. I see this feature first time in a device and it is completely awesome. It also has Slo-Mo, Timelapse and other important features under the video mode
