Chinese smartphone manufacturer iQOO is gearing up to launch the Neo 11 on October 30, 2025 and the advanced specs suggest it could make a real impact in the flagship-adjacent space.
Design & Display
Proving that it’s serious about blending performance with style, the iQOO Neo 11 is teased to bring a flat 2K resolution LTPO OLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate, aiming for peak brightness levels that rival top-tier models. The design itself features a satin AG glass back, matte metal frame, and a textured “Facing the Wind” finish in bold colourways such as Blue, Orange, Shadow Black and Light White.
Performance
Under the hood, iQOO appears to be equipping the Neo 11 with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset (or a closely-matched equivalent) along with up to 16 GB of RAM, as confirmed via a Geekbench listing. The device will run OriginOS 6 on Android 16, and iQOO emphasises “five years of smooth operation” a nod to longer-term support than many of its rivals.
Battery & Charging
One of the most attention-grabbing specs is the battery: a quoted capacity of 7,500 mAh (or thereabouts) paired with 100 W fast-charging support. For heavy users, gamers or media consumers, this combination suggests the Neo 11 could out-last many current flagships.
Cameras and Features
While full camera details are still under wraps, early leaks suggest the Neo 11 will adopt a dual-rear camera setup led by a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, accompanied by wide and ultra-wide lenses. Additional modern touches include an in-display 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, top-tier cooling systems for gaming, and robust connectivity with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3 and UWB.
Launch and Pricing
For the China market, the launch is locked in for October 30. Pre-reservations are already live with benefit packages worth CNY 2,976 (approx. $410) being offered. As for pricing, a leak suggests an expected starting price of around CNY 2,500 (≈ $340), though that figure appears quite low and is likely a placeholder or early estimate. Another listing indicates a starting price closer to $470.
Final Thoughts
If the leaked specs hold up, the iQOO Neo 11 offers a compelling mix: elite-tier display, strong battery and charging, and serious performance at a more accessible figure than many flagships. The trade-offs may lie in camera complexity (dual instead of triple/quad), software skin nuance and global availability. Nevertheless, for users prioritising speed, endurance and raw spec value, the Neo 11 is shaping up as one to watch.
We’ll know more once iQOO officially lifts the curtain until then, the Neo 11 remains a promising candidate in 2025’s smartphone line-up.
