iQOO is known for launching a flagship phone around the middle of each year. Usually, the brand introduces an updated version of an existing Neo-branded flagship that debuted at the end of the previous year. Last year, the company unveiled the iQOO Neo 11 powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset in October. Hence, it is likely that the brand may unveil the iQOO Neo 11 Pro by the middle of this year. Ahead of the expected launch, key details about the upcoming flagship have surfaced online.
Key specifications of the upcoming iQOO flagship emerge
According to a new leak shared by Digital Chat Station (DCS), the upcoming iQOO flagship will feature a 6.83-inch OLED display with a flat design. The screen is said to support a 2K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.
The device is expected to be powered by the Dimensity 9500 chipset and pack a massive battery with around 8,000mAh capacity. The leak specifically mentions the rated battery value as 7,845mAh.
The tipster also claimed that the device may feature a 200-megapixel primary camera, although he was not completely certain about this detail. For durability, the smartphone is expected to carry IP68/IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. As for the launch timeline, the device is tipped to debut in China in May, but there is currently no information on whether it will launch globally.
There have also been conflicting reports suggesting that the brand may not launch an iQOO Neo 11 series smartphone this year. Instead, the company could introduce the iQOO 15T with the above-mentioned specifications. Speculation in the comments section of the leak further suggests that the upcoming device could eventually be marketed as the iQOO 15.
