IQOO Neo 11 Review – Tested: 2K Display, Snapdragon Power & Battery Brilliance In One Ultimate Device!!

The iQOO Neo 11 review proves that flagship-level performance doesn’t always need flagship pricing. Following the success of the Neo 10, iQOO has returned with a device that feels tailor-made for gamers, power users, and anyone craving elite performance without crossing the ₹40,000 mark.

Packed with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a 2K 144Hz AMOLED display, and a massive 7500mAh battery, the iQOO Neo 11 stands as a genuine mid-range monster. After testing, it’s clear this phone delivers exceptional performance and endurance — even if it falls short in one or two areas.

Pricing and Availability

Launched in China first, the iQOO Neo 11 starts at 2599 Yuan, roughly ₹32,500 in India for the 12GB + 256GB variant. With import duties and localization costs, the global pricing is expected to range between ₹35,000 and ₹40,000, possibly touching ₹43,000 for higher configurations.

If priced right, it could easily dominate the mid-premium space — rivaling the likes of the OnePlus 13R, Realme GT 7, and Poco F6 Pro.

Design and Build Quality

The iQOO Neo 11 is a striking device with a flat aluminum alloy frame and a fiberglass (AG glass) back that feels premium to the touch. Despite packing a 7500mAh battery, it’s impressively slim at 8.1mm and weighs around 210–218g.

Color options include blue, white, and orange, though the white variant looks the most elegant and clean. The phone is also IP69-certified, making it resistant to water, dust, and even brief submersion. Protection comes via Rock Glass, which promises 1.2-meter drop resistance.

However, one minor drawback is the USB Type-C 2.0 port — a surprising omission given its performance pedigree.

Display – Stunning Visual Brilliance

One of the biggest highlights of the iQOO Neo 11 review is its display. It’s a 6.82-inch BOE Q10+ LTPO AMOLED panel with 2K resolution (510 PPI) and a silky 144Hz refresh rate.

The LTPO technology allows adaptive refresh from 1Hz to 144Hz, balancing fluidity and efficiency. Peak brightness reaches 1800 nits, ensuring excellent outdoor visibility. HDR10+ support, an anti-reflective coating, and 2592Hz PWM dimming make it a visual treat for binge-watchers and gamers alike.

Add iQOO’s Eye Comfort Mode and blue light protection, and you get one of the best panels in its class — easily outshining rivals at this price.

Performance and Gaming

This is where the iQOO Neo 11 truly shines. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm) with an Adreno 830 GPU, this phone delivers top-tier performance. Combined with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, the device hits blazing speeds of nearly 4000MB/s read-write.

Gaming performance is phenomenal. Titles like BGMI and Call of Duty Mobile run at a consistent 90FPS, while China’s “Game for Peace” can even hit 144FPS. The dedicated Q2 Gaming Chip ensures smoother frame rates and better thermal control.

AnTuTu Score: 3.18 million
Geekbench 6 Multi-core: 9155
GPU Benchmark: 18,000 (Adreno 830)

Thermal management is decent, thanks to a vapor chamber cooling system, though heavy gaming pushes temps to around 45–47°C. For everyday use, it’s butter smooth — lag-free multitasking, app switching, and sustained gaming performance make it an absolute powerhouse.

Battery and Charging – Long-Lasting Power

Battery life is another key strength of the iQOO Neo 11 review. The phone packs a 7500mAh Silicon Carbide battery, optimized for longer life cycles and lower heat generation.

It supports 100W fast charging, taking the battery from 0 to 100% in just 40 minutes. During our stress tests, it lost only 12% in 40 minutes of heavy usage — slightly better than the iQOO 15.

You also get bypass charging (ideal for gaming) and reverse wireless charging to power up smaller devices like earbuds. Combined with LTPO display efficiency, this phone easily lasts 1.5–2 days on moderate use.

Camera System – Good but Not Great

Here’s where things take a modest turn. While performance and display dominate, the iQOO Neo 11’s cameras feel average for its class.

Main Camera: 50MP Sony LYT-700V (f/1.9, OIS)
Ultra-wide Camera: 8MP Omnivision OV08D
Front Camera: 16MP Galaxy Core GC16B3

Daylight shots look great with rich details and accurate tones, while portrait mode performs well at 1x and 2x zoom. However, the ultrawide sensor lacks detail, and the selfie camera, capped at 1080p 60FPS, could have offered 4K.

Video recording on the main lens supports 8K 30FPS and 4K 60FPS, and stabilization via OIS is decent. For casual shooters, it’s perfectly fine — but for photography enthusiasts, it’s not the selling point.

Software and Features

Running on OriginOS 6 (Android 16), the iQOO Neo 11 delivers a fast, fluid software experience. The global variant is expected to come with Funtouch OS 16, offering up to 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security patches.

AI integration through Vivo’s Blue AI brings handy features like AI Retouch, AI Erase, and AI Summary. The interface is customizable, smooth, and surprisingly clean for a China-first ROM.

You also get dual stereo speakers with Snapdragon Sound, ultrasonic fingerprint unlock, and IR blaster support — thoughtful extras that enhance the experience.

Verdict

After extensive testing, this iQOO Neo 11 review concludes that the phone delivers unmatched value in its segment.

What’s Great:

Snapdragon 8 Elite performance
2K 144Hz AMOLED LTPO display
7500mAh battery with 100W fast charging
Premium IP69-certified build
Excellent audio and gaming features

What Could Be Better:

Average ultrawide and selfie cameras
USB 2.0 port limitation
Slight heating under sustained load

Overall, the iQOO Neo 11 feels like a specialized performance beast — built for gamers, power users, and speed lovers. It skips luxury features like a top-tier camera but more than compensates with raw power, endurance, and display excellence.

For under ₹40,000, it would be easily one of the most powerful and impressive Android phones of 2025.
