iQOO has just launched the Neo 11 Ultra, its latest entry in its gaming-oriented Neo line. The phone builds on the familiar formula Neo is known for: offering top-tier gaming hardware at a lower price than iQOO’s flagship models. Here’s what the new iQOO Neo 11 Ultra brings, along with its price. 

iQOO Neo 11 Ultra Specifications

The phone ships in a new Wind Chaser color, plus the classic Black and White. The back has a matte, fingerprint-resistant finish paired with a matte metal frame. Visually, you get a horizontal camera module for its two lenses, and the phone is 9.13mm thick.

The Neo 11 Ultra is the first phone to use MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500M, a version of the Dimensity 9500 with one fewer GPU core. It’s paired with LPDDR5X Ultra memory and UFS 4.1 storage. iQOO also added its own cooling system, an 8K “Ice Dome” vapor chamber, along with a separate chip called Q2 that handles upscaling games to 2K resolution.

The screen is a 6.83-inch, 2K panel that uses a new light-emitting material from Visionox. It runs at up to 144Hz, and iQOO rates it at 2000 nits of brightness across the full screen, with a peak of 4500 nits in small areas. The panel also uses circular polarization to cut blue light exposure, and touch sampling is claimed at 500Hz.

The rear camera setup is fairly modest for the segment. It has a 50MP main camera with optical stabilization and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. The front camera is 16MP.

Like most Chinese flagships these days, the iQOO Neo 11 Ultra uses a big 9100mAh silicon-carbon battery. For the record, it’s the largest battery iQOO has put in a Neo phone. It supports 100W wired charging. iQOO says it lasts about 13.7 hours of continuous mobile gaming, or 23 hours of video playback.

The phone uses reinforced glass on the front and an aluminum frame, and iQOO says it survived a drop test from 1.2 meters onto marble flooring. It’s rated IP68 and IP69 for water and dust resistance, and includes an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that iQOO says still works with wet hands. Other additions include a three-antenna WiFi system, a 400Hz gyroscope for vibration feedback in games, and iQOO’s new OriginOS 6 software.

Pricing

The Neo 11 Ultra starts at 3,399 yuan (about $504) for the base 12GB+256GB configuration. Here’s the price breakdown:
