iQOO is preparing to release a new major smartphone designed to solve the problem of battery drain for users. Currently, two new models in the Neo and Z series are being discussed: the iQOO Neo 11 Ultra and the iQOO Z11s. According to available data, both models may be launched in China on August 18th. The Z11s model is drawing the most interest because reports suggest it will be equipped with a 10,000 mAh battery, comparable to an external power bank.
The iQOO Neo 11 Ultra is likely to be positioned as a high-performance and powerful device. Preliminary information suggests it may include the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, a 2K resolution display, and support for 100W fast charging. It is also reported that this phone will feature a battery capacity of around 9,100 mAh. It is important to note that some of these specifications are based solely on leaks and reports.
Appeal of the iQOO Z11s
The main advantage of the iQOO Z11s may be its battery. Reports claim it will receive a 10,000 mAh battery, as well as a 144Hz refresh rate display. If this information proves true, the phone may particularly appeal to users who actively use the device for gaming, video watching, or extended usage.
Is a Neo 11S possible?
The discussion about these new devices did not start suddenly. Over the past few months, numerous leaks regarding the iQOO Neo 11S have emerged. In June, there were reports that the phone might feature a 2K OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. A supposed Geekbench listing also mentioned 16GB of RAM and Android 16.
Later, in July, reports indicated that the phone's battery capacity exceeds 8,000 mAh. One report mentioned an 8,000 mAh battery, 100W charging, and a 2K display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Some other sources also claimed the presence of IP68/IP69 ratings and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
Thus, iQOO appears to be focusing not only on providing a fast processor. The company may be preparing a phone for demanding users by including features such as a large battery, a high refresh rate display, and fast charging.
What is special about Dimensity 9500?
The MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset will be installed in the Neo 11 Ultra and Neo 11S models. The Geekbench listing for the Neo 11S featured this specific chipset, along with information about a 16GB RAM variant running on Android 16. The Neo series from iQOO is traditionally oriented towards performance and gaming, so using this chip could strengthen the company's position in the high-performance phone category. However, real performance will only be known after the device's release and use.
Will these phones be in India?
Currently, the most important thing is that the launch information is linked to the Chinese market. There is no precise data on the release date of the Neo 11 Ultra or Z11s in India, so the news of the China launch cannot be considered a guide for the Indian market. The situation with iQOO's portfolio in India is also ambiguous; recent reports contain conflicting statements about new Neo series devices for India. Therefore, Indian users will have to await an official statement from the company.
