According to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the iQOO 11 series will feature a new Samsung E6 AMOLED display, which indicates that the iQOO 11 and 11 Pro will have the screen.

At the Snapdragon Tech Summit, which will take place in November this year, Qualcomm is expected to announce the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform at the Snapdragon Tech Summit, which will take place in November this year. Most of the forthcoming Android flagship phones are expected to come equipped with the SD8G2. The tipster claimed that the iQOO 11 series features the SM8550 chipset, which is nothing but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
The tipster did not share any other information on the specifications of the iQOO 11 lineup. The iQOO 10 Pro debuted as the world’s first smartphone with support for 200W fast charging. Hence, it appears that the iQOO 11 Pro will also offer 200W rapid charging. In all likelihood, the vanilla iQOO 11 may offer slightly slower 120W fast charging support. Both phones may differ in departments like battery size and cameras.
As mentioned above, the iQOO 11 and 11 Pro may debut by January 2023 in China. India may receive the IQOO 11 lineup a couple of months later. It is too early to say whether the iQOO 11 series heading to India will have the same specs or whether it will pack different specs.
At present, the company is gearing up to launch the iQOO Neo 7 in October in China. It is expected to pack specs like a 6.78-inch E5 AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, a Dimensity 9000 Plus, up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, a 4,700mAh battery with 120W fast charging, a 16-megapixel front camera, and Sony IMX766 50-megapixel triple rear cameras. The company has recently launched the iQOO Neo 6 in India. Hence, it is unclear whether it will be releasing the Neo 7 soon in the country.
