According to a recent leak shared by Smart Pikachu, the iQOO Neo 11 may feature a 6.8-inch flat 2K OLED display. The device is likely to include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor integrated into the display for secure access. The overall design is expected to maintain the look of the Neo series, with iQOO introducing some structural enhancements such as a metal mid-frame for added strength and IP68 certification for protection against dust and water.

On the performance side, the iQOO Neo 11 is said to incorporate iQOO’s Monster Supercore Engine, which is also used in the iQOO 15. This system is designed to manage temperature, sustain frame rates, and ensure consistent performance during intensive gaming sessions. With this hardware combination, the device appears to target users who prioritize speed, reliability, and long battery life.

The iQOO Neo 11 is expected to launch at around 2,500 Yuan (approximately Rs. 31,210), placing it in the competitive mid-to-premium segment.

While the iQOO 15 is reportedly lined up for an India launch around November, there has been no official word on the Neo 11’s availability outside China. iQOO may introduce the model later as a region-specific variant or through a phased rollout. If the leaked specifications prove accurate, the iQOO Neo 11 could offer users a performance-focused device with balanced pricing and advanced features ahead of its official debut.
