iQOO 11S is said to be the next iQOO phone for the Chinese market. It will arrive as an enhanced version of the iQOO 11 5G, which was announced in December last year. At present, there is no concrete evidence of the global release of the iQOO 11S. Nevertheless, it appears to be a successor to the iQOO 9T, which went official in Q3 2022 in India. Chinese tipsters have spilt a lot of key information about the iQOO 11S. Here is everything known about the device.
Anticipated as an enhanced iteration, the iQOO 11S is projected to incorporate certain specifications from its predecessor, the iQOO 11 5G, while also packing new internals. The iQOO 11S is most likely to be the first phone to use the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 2 chipset, which is reportedly an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
The iQOO 11 5G came with a 50-megapixel Samsung GN5 main camera and a 5000mAh battery with 120W charging. However, the upcoming iQOO 11S is set to bring notable upgrades in these areas. It will replace the main camera with a Sony IMX866 VCS sensor, supported by the Vivo V2 chip. Additionally, it will feature a slightly smaller 4,700mAh battery, but compensate with blazing-fast 200W fast charging. Furthermore, the iQOO 11S will debut in an appealing new blue color. As for the available color options, it remains uncertain if it will include the same choices as the iQOO 11 5G, which offered black, white, and green variants.
The iQOO 11S will feature a 6.78-inch flat E6 AMOLED screen that offers a 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The device will arrive with 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. It will have a metallic midframe. The rear camera system of the device is expected to include an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens. For selfies, it will have a 16-megapixel front-facing camera.
Reports have claimed that the iQOO 11S will launch by early July. The device is expected to hit shelves by July 8 in China.
