iQoo Neo 11 Levels Up: Snapdragon 8 Elite Power and a 7500mAh Marathon Battery

Meet the iQOO Neo 11, a gaming-focused smartphone that undercuts the iQOO 15 on price while outmuscling it in one crucial department: battery life. Despite its slim 8.05 mm profile, this device houses a massive 7,500mAh battery designed for marathon play sessions, and it pairs that endurance with flagship-grade performance and a silky-smooth display.

The display is built for speed and clarity. You get a 6.82-inch 8T LTPO AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and QHD+ resolution (3168 × 1440). It’s a BOE Q10+ screen, an upgrade over earlier Q10 panels used by rivals, delivering crisp visuals and fluid motion whether you’re gaming, streaming, or scrolling.

Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Elite handles demanding titles with ease. The base model starts at 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, with configurations all the way up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. There’s also an iQOO Q2 gaming chip to enhance frame stability and responsiveness. To keep thermals in check, iQOO includes an expansive 8,000 mm² Ice Dome VC liquid cooling system that the company says can reduce temperatures by up to 15°C during intensive use.

Cameras are anchored by a 50MP Sony LYT700V main sensor with OIS for sharp, stable shots, joined by an 8MP ultrawide. A 16MP selfie camera lives in a centered punch-hole for clean, modern aesthetics.

Battery performance is a highlight. The 7,500mAh cell is larger than the 7,000mAh unit in the iQOO 15 and only trails a few ultra-large battery competitors. It supports 100W wired fast charging, though wireless charging isn’t included. Rounding out the experience are OriginOS 6, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi‑Fi 7, NFC, stereo speakers, and robust protection with both IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. A case and charger come in the box.

The iQOO Neo 11 is available in four colors, including a striking option dubbed Facing the Wind that features a color‑changing back.
