iQOO is gearing up to launch its next flagship, the iQOO 15, in India soon. But before that, the Vivo sub-brand has officially introduced its new gaming-centric smartphone, the iQOO Neo 11, in China. The Neo 11 brings several key upgrades over its predecessor, including a sharper display, a larger battery, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
Design
The iQOO Neo 11 sports a refreshed design, dropping the square-shaped camera module of the previous model for a slimmer vertical layout housing two cameras. It comes in four colour options: Light White, Pixel Orange, Facing the Gale, and Shadow Black. The “Facing the Gale” edition features a color-shifting back panel, similar to what’s expected on the upcoming iQOO 15. The device measures 8.05mm thick and weighs 216 grams.

Performance
Powering the Neo 11 is the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, last year’s flagship processor from Qualcomm. It’s paired with iQOO’s new Q2 gaming chip and Monster Super-Core Engine for enhanced performance. To keep thermals in check, the phone includes an 8K vapor chamber cooling system, making it a strong contender in the performance and gaming segment.
Display
The 6.82-inch 2K AMOLED display is one of the major upgrades, offering a 144Hz refresh rate, 2,592Hz PWM dimming, 3,200Hz touch sampling rate, and a 25.4ms touch response time ideal for gamers seeking top-tier responsiveness and visual clarity.
Cameras and Battery
The Neo 11 features a dual rear camera setup, comprising a 50MP main sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultrawide lens. On the front, there’s a 16MP selfie camera, a downgrade from the Neo 10’s 32MP shooter. The device is powered by a massive 7,500mAh battery that supports 100W fast charging, ensuring extended gaming sessions with quick top-ups.

Launch and Expected Price in India
While iQOO hasn’t confirmed the India launch timeline, the Neo 11 is expected to arrive after the iQOO 15’s debut next month.
In China, the iQOO Neo 11 starts at 2,599 Yuan (approx. 32,500) for the 12GB + 256GB base variant. Its India pricing is expected to be similar to that of the iQOO Neo 10, which launched at 31,999.
With its performance-oriented specs and competitive pricing, the iQOO Neo 11 is shaping up to be a strong rival to the upcoming OnePlus 15R in the Indian market.
