The smartphone debuts with a 7,500mAh battery, Q2 gaming chip, and a 50 MP primary camera.
iQOO has officially introduced its latest addition to the “Neo” lineup, the iQOO Neo 11, in China. The device was announced at a special launch event and brings major upgrades, including a massive 7,000mAh+ battery, a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, Android 16, and more. Here’s a complete overview of what’s new in the smartphone.
iQOO Neo 11 sports an elevated design with an “Elite” finish
The newly launched iQOO Neo 11 retains the signature design language of the Neo series but now looks more refined and premium. iQOO has replaced the plastic frame from the Neo 10 with a brushed aluminium mid-frame, enhancing its durability and aesthetics.
The rear panel now uses AG Glass instead of plastic, offering a more sophisticated feel. The dual rear camera module has been redesigned with a sleek, textured finish around the lenses, adopting what the brand calls a “Floating Mirror” design.
Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with up to 16 GB LPDDR5x Ultra RAM and 1 TB UFS 4.1 storage. Additionally, the Q2 gaming chip enables 144 FPS Super Frame Rate with QNSS support in popular titles like Genshin Impact, Call of Duty, PUBG, and Fortnite Mobile.
For thermal management, the iQOO Neo 11 features the same 8K Ice Dome vapour chamber cooling system found in the iQOO 15. With an 8,000mm² heat dissipation area, it promises up to 47% better temperature control than its predecessor.
Moreover, it’s the second iQOO device to come preloaded with OriginOS 6, which introduces a transparent UI, translucent elements, Blue River Smooth Engine for seamless animations, Atomic Island updates, widget stacking, and cross-ecosystem connectivity.
The device continues its premium appeal with a 6.85-inch 2K 144Hz BOE Q10+ flat 8T LTPO OLED display. The panel supports 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut, Dolby Vision, and brightness as low as 1 nit, similar to the iQOO 15.
In terms of cameras, the iQOO Neo 11 maintains a dual-camera setup like its predecessor but with upgraded optics to suit its “Elite” tag. It now features a 50 MP Sony LYT-700V main sensor and an 8 MP ultra-wide lens, while the front camera houses a 16 MP f/2.45 sensor.
The smartphone packs a massive 7,500mAh battery, an upgrade from the previous 7,000mAh, though fast charging is now rated at 100W USB-C instead of 120W. It does not include wireless charging support.
Additional highlights include an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers, dual IP68 + IP69 ratings, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, Infrared port, GPS, dual SIM 5G, and a USB-C 2.0 port.
As for pricing, the iQOO Neo 11 starts at 2,599 Chinese Yuan (around ₹32,500) for the 12 GB + 256 GB variant. It will be available in Shadow Black, Chi Guang White, Facing the Wind, and Pixel Orange colour options.
