The iQOO Neo 11 is being introduced as a performance-centric phone in the mid-range segment. It is aimed at users who want strong gaming power, fast charging and a sharp display, without paying typical flagship prices. Here’s a clear look at what the phone brings.
Design and build
The iQOO Neo 11 comes in multiple colors, including a shade that shifts between blue and purple. The back panel uses AG glass, which feels smooth in the hand and doesn’t pick up fingerprints easily. The frame is made of metal, which gives the phone a more solid and premium feel compared to many devices in this price bracket.
The camera module uses a floating-style layout, where the lenses sit slightly raised from the decorative panel. The back looks clean, and the camera island doesn’t feel overly bulky.
Performance and gaming
The phone runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor along with iQOO’s Q2 gaming chip. In shared benchmark results, the device touched 3,270,000 points on AnTuTu, and in Geekbench 6, it scored 2,819 (single-core) and 8,854 (multi-core).
The Q2 chip works to stabilize frames and improve clarity during games. It supports high-resolution rendering and frame interpolation, helping the phone fully use its 144Hz display.
In Honor of Kings, the phone is said to reach up to 144 FPS, with an option that reduces power consumption while maintaining smoothness. With Genshin Impact on high settings, frame rates remained steady, and overall power draw stayed under 4W. Heat is controlled through a vapor chamber and graphite layers, keeping performance consistent during longer sessions.
Display
The iQOO Neo 11 features a 6.82-inch 2K display with a 144Hz refresh rate and LTPO support. The refresh rate can automatically adjust based on what you’re doing, helping save battery when high refresh isn’t needed.
For eye comfort, the phone offers 2592Hz PWM dimming, blue-light reduction and night mode, along with Rheinland certification for reduced visual fatigue. Touch response is handled by an ultra-sensitive chip with up to 3200Hz instant sampling, keeping taps and swipes quick and accurate.
Cameras
The device includes a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization. There’s also an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a fisheye option for creative shots. While there isn’t a telephoto lens, 2x digital zoom is available for simple close-ups.
Battery and charging
Power comes from a 7,500mAh battery. In testing, one hour of gaming over Wi-Fi at 50% brightness and volume resulted in about 9% battery drop, suggesting it can comfortably last a full day with heavy use.
Charging is handled by a 100W fast charger, taking the phone from 0 to around 16% in roughly 10 minutes, and to a full charge in about 48 minutes. Direct Battery Bypass 2.0 helps control heat when gaming while plugged in.
Pricing
Converted to Indian currency, the iQOO Neo 11 is expected to cost roughly:
- 12/256 GB — around ₹36,700
- 12/512 GB — around ₹38,800
- 16/512 GB — around ₹41,700
