The display is also TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light certified and includes Eye Comfort Mode to reduce eye strain. The Z11xa is available in two colour options: Titan Black with a matte finish and Prismatic Green with a glossy prism design. iQOO highlights the phone’s durable design, noting it is officially military-grade and has achieved an SGS Gold Label Five Star rating after passing several military standard tests, demonstrating resistance to drops from up to 1.7m.
