iQOO Neo 11 Launches in China with Snapdragon 8 Elite 2K 144Hz Display and 7500mAh Battery Powerhouse

Well, the wait is finally over! iQOO has just launched its next-generation performance beast, iQOO Neo 11, in China. The smartphone brings the perfect combination of raw power, gaming efficiency, and flagship-grade display quality at a starting price as low as ¥2699 (~₹31,000) for the 12GB + 256GB variant.

Now, let's delve deeper into what makes the iQOO Neo 11 a true game-changer in its segment.

Outstanding Display with Latest Technology

The iQOO Neo 11 features an incredible 6.82-inch BOE Q10+ 2K OLED display for a new benchmark in clarity and responsiveness. Featuring a flat LTPO panel, it supports the most bleeding-edge 144Hz refresh rate coupled with 8T LTPO technology for seamless adaptation between frame rates for smoother animations and better power efficiency.

The display maxes out at an incredible 4500 nits brightness, making it one of the brightest smartphone screens ever made. Besides that, there's also 2592Hz PWM dimming and an AR Anti-Reflective Film, which further enhance the Neo 11's outdoor visibility and eye comfort during long gaming sessions.

Whether you're watching HDR content, gaming at high frame rates, or multitasking between apps, this display delivers a flagship-level experience without compromise.

The New Benchmark for Performance

Underneath, the iQOO Neo 11 is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor; this is the most recent and powerful chipset from Qualcomm, promising greater speed, thermal efficiency, and GPU performance. It's deemed ideal for heavy gaming, multitasking, and AI-driven tasks that require exceptional performance.

And then there's more performance added by iQOO's self-developed Gaming Chip Q2, which optimizes graphics rendering and frame stability while reducing touch latency. Together, these two chips bring a gaming experience that's buttery smooth and lag-free.

Meanwhile, the phone uses LPDDR5X Ultra RAM (9600Mbps) and UFS 4.1 storage for super-fast app loading, smooth multitasking, and faster data transfer speeds.

Camera System

On the camera front, the iQOO Neo 11 comes fitted with a 50MP Sony LYT-700V sensor (1/1.56”) as the primary lens. Image quality is stunning, along with improved performance in low light and Optical Image Stabilization for steady shots.

It's designed to work in concert with an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens-OV08D10-to shoot expansive landscapes and group photos. For selfies and video calls, the phone houses a 16MP front camera, the GC16B3, which shoots natural tones and crisp details.

Whether it's daylight photography or night shots, the Neo 11 delivers sharp and balanced results with excellent color accuracy.

Massive Battery and Super-Fast Charging

Another area in which the iQOO Neo 11 truly shines is the battery life. The phone has one of the largest batteries in any flagship smartphone at 7500mAh, promising all-day power even with heavy use. The device supports 100W ultra-fast wired charging, which can fuel up the battery in under 30 minutes. It also supports 44W UFCS, 55W PD, and PPS, so it will easily support a wide range of universal charging protocols.

Besides, there is Bypass Charging 2.0, which includes the function of powering the device directly while playing games, hence preventing a rise in battery temperature-a thoughtful addition for gamers.

Advanced Cooling and Durable Build

To keep the device cool, there is an 8K VC Cooling System with a massive 8000mm² heat dissipation area. This setup ensures the device keeps cool even under intense gaming or performance loads.

The iQOO Neo 11 has an IP69/68 rating for durability, hence being water- and dust-resistant, which is not generally seen at this price, along with an IR blaster, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and Wi-Fi wall-penetrating chip to enhance the overall experience.

Considering how much power and battery it packs, the device manages to keep its profile slim at 8.05mm thick and weighing only 210g for a comfortable feel in your hand.

Connectivity and Software

On the connectivity front, the iQOO Neo 11 is loaded with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC support to offer high-speed and stable connections while gaming, streaming, and pairing devices.

It runs on OriginOS 6, based on the most recent version of Android, with a refined UI, advanced customization options, and smooth animations.

iQOO Neo 11 Price and Availability

The iQOO Neo 11 launches in China starting at ¥2699 (~₹31,000) for the 12GB + 256GB configuration. It is likely to be available in multiple color variants, catering to both gamers and style enthusiasts.

While there is no official confirmation on its global or Indian launch yet, given the brand's history, it can be expected that Neo 11 might soon see a global launch, possibly with Neo or iQOO Z series branding.

A Flagship Killer Reinvented Running on the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite with a stunning 2K 144Hz display, a huge 7500mAh battery, and a superior cooling system, the iQOO Neo 11 stands out as one of the most powerful smartphones within its price bracket. It's built for performance enthusiasts, gamers, and users seeking flagship specifications on a budget. If iQOO manages to competitively price it in other markets, the Neo 11 easily has the potential to dominate the upper mid-range segment come 2025.
