Following earlier speculations that the iQOO Neo 11S would launch soon as the next Neo smartphone, the brand has now officially confirmed that its next Neo-series smartphone will be called the iQOO Neo 11 Ultra. The handset is scheduled to debut in China on August 10th. While iQOO has only revealed the name and launch date, previous certifications and leaks have already painted a fairly detailed picture of what to expect.
The iQOO Neo 11 Ultra launch has been teased in China, with a brand executive suggesting the handset will offer upgrades in the screen, battery life, and gaming experience.
The smartphone, believed to have the model number V2545A, recently appeared on Geekbench with Android 16, 16GB of RAM, and a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. Reports suggest it could use a customised version of the processor, potentially offering performance tweaks over the standard chip. A separate 3C certification also points to 100W fast charging support. The iQOO Neo 11 Ultra could compete with the upcoming Redmi K100 series.
The Neo 11 Ultra is tipped to feature a 6.83-inch flat OLED display with a 2K resolution and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, positioning it as a premium gaming and multimedia-focused device. The biggest highlight, however, could be its rumoured 9,000mAh battery, which would make it the largest battery ever fitted inside an iQOO Neo-series smartphone. If accurate, it would be a significant jump over previous Neo models and could appeal to gamers and power users looking for extended battery life without frequent charging.
The phone is also expected to feature a metal frame and an IP68 rating, bringing improved durability to the Neo lineup. Storage options are tipped to include 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, 16GB + 256GB, and 16GB + 512GB, with Light White, Shadow Black, and Wind Chaser colour variants.
With the launch just days away, buyers may want to wait before picking up a performance-focused flagship. If the leaks hold, the Neo 11 Ultra could emerge as one of the most compelling premium smartphones in its segment, especially for users prioritising battery life and flagship-grade performance.
