In China, iQOO yesterday launched its highly awaited iQOO 11 5G flagship smartphone. The company has now stated that the smartphone would be launched on January 10, 2023, in India. The iQOO 11 5G is a feature-rich smartphone that may debut in India as the first to use the most recent Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU. The company also disclosed that the smartphone will be available in the country starting January 13, 2023. Let’s examine what it would provide to the table.
iQOO 11 5G: Features, Specifications
With a few camera island changes, the iQOO 11 5G keeps the majority of the design cues from the iQOO 10 series. For the iQOO 11 series, it appears that iQOO has adopted the “Why to fix it when it ain’t broken?”. A flat 6.78-inch, 10-bit Samsung E6 AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 144 Hz. A screen resolution of 2K, and dimming at 1440 Hz is featured on the phone. Additionally, the display supports HDR10+ and has a maximum brightness of 1800 nits.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is Qualcomm’s most powerful mobile chipset, and it powers the iQOO 11 5G. Along with other future flagship smartphones, the same chipset will power the OnePlus 11, Xiaomi 13 series, Moto X40, and Samsung Galaxy S23 series. For faster load times and multitasking, the iQOO 11 5G is also outfitted with the latest LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

The iQOO 11 5G has a triple back camera setup consisting of a 13MP telephoto/macro lens, an 8MP ultrawide snapper. And a 50MP primary sensor with OIS. The rear cameras provide users the option to record either 4K or 8K footage at a speed that suits them. A 16MP camera is situated in the hole-punch camera cutout in the center of the display. Which is used for selfies as well as video calls. The Vivo’s unique V2 imaging chip is also said to provide an improved image output and higher framerates while gaming.
The phone also has stereo speakers, a USB Type-C connector, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth v5.3, NFC, an optical fingerprint sensor embedded in the display, and support for 5G dual SIM. With a 5000mAh battery and 120W wired fast charging capabilities, the iQOO 11 guarantees that its lights will stay on. However, the iQOO 11 Pro offers wireless charging, which it does not. The smartphone will function in India using the Funtouch OS 13 skin built on Android 13.
iQOO 11 5G: Price
Price ranges for the iQOO 11 5G range from CNY 3799 (about ₹45,000) for the base 8GB + 128GB edition to CNY 4999 (roughly $59,000) for the 16GB RAM+512GB storage option. Given that iQOO has a history of setting aggressive prices for its goods in India. Anticipate the price to start at approximately 45,000.
