iQOO has just launched its flagship device, the iQOO 11 Pro, in China. Along with it, the company has announced the vanilla iQOO 11, which also debuted in Malaysia at the same time. More about the iQOO 11 and its expected price in Nepal here.
iQOO 11 Overview:
Design, Display
The iQOO 11 features a triple-color stripe design on the back to signify the company’s continued partnership with BMW M Motorsport for another year. This finish is known as iQOO 11 Legend Edition and is made of a mix of fiberglass and vegan leather that has been coated with a stain-resistant coating. Besides this, it is available in Black and Green shades.
Upfront, there is a 6.78-inch 2K (1440×3200 pixels) Samsung E6 AMOLED screen which can refresh at up to 144Hz. It can render over one billion color palettes, implying a 10-bit color depth, and it supports the HDR10+ standard too.
Performance
Furthermore, iQOO’s new flagship phone is powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile processor. With a new high-performance Cortex-X3 core, four Performance cores (2.8GHz), and three Efficiency cores (@2.0GHz), this new SoC boosts performance by up to 35%.
The phone also includes Vivo’s new V2 ISP chip for improved camera and AI abilities. Not only that, but the iQOO 11 is one of the first phones to use new memory solutions, such as LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage for improved performance. You can get it in 8GB, 12GB, or 16GB of RAM and 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB of storage.
Since it’s a high-performance smartphone, iQOO has equipped the phone with a Vapor Chamber cooling system with a 4,013mm2 stamped stainless steel chamber.
Camera
Moving on to the cameras, the main one is a 50MP 1/1.57-inch Samsung GN5 sensor. And accompanied by a 13MP 2x “portrait” lens and an 8MP 16mm fixed-focus ultrawide lens. The primary sensor also has an OIS module. Likewise, there is a 16MP camera on the front for selfies.
Thanks to the V2 chip, the 50MP triple camera setup offers enhanced quality in nighttime photography with less noise. Likewise, in Zero-Shutter-Lag Motion Snapshot, you can capture a live photo, and use Pro Sports Mode to freeze the best moment in the sequence.

Fueling the smartphone is a 5000mAh cell that supports 120W fast charging via a Type-C port. Connectivity option includes WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC. Likewise, the phone comes with a dual x-axis linear motor for touch feedback and stereo speakers for a surround sound experience.
