The iQOO Neo11 has officially launched in China, and as expected, it packs serious hardware for gamers and power users alike. With specs borrowed from iQOO’s flagship 15 series and a strong focus on display, cooling, and performance, the Neo11 has been launched as a performance beast at a mid-range price. Here’s a closer look at what it brings.
The new iQOO phone features a 6.82-inch 2K LTPO AMOLED display with a variable refresh rate from 1Hz to 144Hz. It utilises BOE’s Q10+ luminous material and features ultra-slim 1.4 mm side bezels, resulting in a nearly borderless appearance. Other highlights include 2,592 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming for reduced flicker, SGS and TÜV certifications for low blue-light emission, and a peak brightness of 4,500 nits.
Under the hood, the iQOO Neo11 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which is last year’s flagship chipset but still one of the fastest available. It’s paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. The phone also includes a self-developed Q2 gaming chip, enhancing touch precision and frame stability during intense sessions.
Touch response is another strong suit. iQOO claims 3,200Hz instantaneous sampling and a 300Hz stable 10-finger sampling rate, with touch latency as low as 25.4ms, ensuring ultra-smooth input for competitive gaming. The iQOO Neo11 also boasts a large 8,000 mm² vapor chamber cooling system, the same as the iQOO 15, with 21.7 percent better coverage than its predecessor.
The device also uses an aerospace-grade aluminum alloy frame for better heat management and durability. It’s IP68 and IP69 certified, the highest rating for protection against dust, splashes, and short submersions with ease. The phone comes in Light White, Pixel Orange, Facing the Gale, and Shadow Black colours.
On the back, there’s a 50MP Sony main sensor with OIS, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. It houses a 16MP front camera similar to the iQOO Neo 10. The Neo11’s highlight is also its massive 7,500mAh battery, 700mAh more than the Neo10 Pro+. It supports 100 W FlashCharge, claimed to deliver 2 hours of short video playback from just a 3-minute charge. The smartphone runs Android 16 with OriginOS 6 on top.
With its specifications and features, the iQOO Neo11 is poised to be a strong contender for a flagship alternative. The flagship iQOO 15 is confirmed to launch in India on November 26th, so the Neo11 will most likely arrive later. As for its pricing, it starts at CNY 2,599 (Rs 32,500 approx) for the base model.
