Chinese smartphone maker iQOO is reportedly preparing to unveil two major devices this month — the flagship iQOO 15 and the performance-driven iQOO Neo 11. According to fresh leaks from reliable Weibo tipsters, the Neo 11 is expected to bring flagship-level power and features to a more affordable price segment, making it one of the most anticipated mid-range flagships of the year.
A new report from the popular leaker Smart Pikachu suggests that the upcoming iQOO Neo 11 will sport a 2K OLED flat display equipped with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor — a feature typically reserved for premium smartphones. Powering the device will be Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with a massive 7,500mAh battery that supports 100W fast charging, offering both high-end performance and impressive endurance.
For gaming enthusiasts, the Neo 11 is rumored to include the Monster Supercore Engine, the same advanced performance optimization system found in the upcoming iQOO 15. This should enable smoother gameplay, higher frame stability, and efficient power management during demanding sessions.

In terms of design, earlier leaks from Digital Chat Station (DCS) indicate that the iQOO Neo 11 will retain the minimalist design language of its predecessor while upgrading to a metal frame and earning an IP68 certification for dust and water resistance. The smartphone is expected to launch in China with a starting price of around 2,500 Yuan (approximately $350) — positioning it as a strong competitor to other Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered devices such as the OnePlus Ace 6, Realme GT 8, and Redmi K90.
While the iQOO 15 has already been confirmed for the Indian market, its official release date remains undisclosed. However, the Neo 11 has not yet been teased for India, suggesting it may initially launch exclusively in China before expanding to other regions later.
With its combination of cutting-edge hardware, sleek design, and aggressive pricing, the iQOO Neo 11 could redefine expectations for mid-range smartphones in 2025.
