After missing its previously rumoured July debut, the iQOO Neo 11S is once again in the spotlight. A fresh leak suggests the smartphone could finally launch in China this August, bringing a large 8,000mAh battery, a 2K display, and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. iQOO’s strategy with the Neo line has always been to offer near-flagship specs at a competitive price, challenging devices like the Redmi K series.
iQOO Neo 11S pricing (expected)
According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the iQOO Neo 11S could start at CNY 3,000 (Rs 42,800 approx). The handset is expected to arrive in four memory variants: 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+256GB, and 16GB+512GB. It could be available in Light White, Shadow Black, and Wind Chaser colour options.
iQOO Neo 11S specifications
The biggest talking point is expected to be its hardware. The Neo 11S is tipped to feature a flat 2K OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, a specification typically seen on premium flagship phones. The 2K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate should deliver a high-quality display with smooth animations and scrolling. The handset is also rumoured to pack a massive 8,000mAh battery with 100W wired fast charging, potentially giving it a significant endurance advantage over most rivals that offer around 7,000mAh batteries.
Additional leaked features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, bringing the device closer to flagship standards.
While the latest leak does not mention the processor, earlier reports point to an underclocked version of MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset. A Geekbench listing linked to the alleged handset showed Android 16, around 16GB RAM, and benchmark scores of 3,395 (single-core) and 10,312 (multi-core), hinting at strong performance for gaming and multitasking. If these leaks hold, iQOO seems poised to deliver another compelling value proposition.
If these specifications prove accurate, the iQOO Neo 11S could appeal to buyers seeking long battery life, a high-refresh-rate display, and flagship-grade performance for power usage and heavy gaming. However, since the details are based on leaks, you may want to wait for the official launch before making a purchase decision. If you’re currently using an iQOO Neo 9 or an older Neo series phone, the leap to the 11S might be significant for battery life and display quality, but waiting for official reviews is still recommended.
