iQOO 11S: Official picture reveals familiar design for future flagship
A Vivo executive has confirmed that iQOO plans to release a new version of the iQOO 11, six months after the flagship’s launch.
The iQOO 11S is expected to arrive later this year with 200 W fast charging and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Dimensity 9300 chipset.
It appears that iQOO is close to releasing a refresh of the iQOO 11, which it announced in December 22. References to the iQOO 11S have been seen before, with Digital Chat Station referring to the device at least twice in recent weeks.
While iQOO has not confirmed the existence of the iQOO 11S yet, Jia Jingdong, Vivo’s China VP and GM of Brand and Product Strategy, has shared a picture of the device on Weibo.
For reference, Vivo is the parent company of iQOO, itself a brand of BBK electronics. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the back of the iQOO 11S appears unchanged from the iQOO 11, as is the case with the upcoming Vivo X90s.
Thus, it seems likely that the former will retain the latter’s 6.78-inch display, which operates at 1440p, 144 Hz and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.
Reportedly, the iQOO 11S will rely on a smaller 4,700 mAh battery, albeit one that it can recharge at 200W, an 80 W higher peak wattage than its predecessor.
However, it is unclear which chipset will power iQOO’s future flagship. Previously, Digital Chat Station has claimed that iQOO would continue to rely on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the same chipset it uses in the current iQOO 11.
With no ‘Plus’ mid-cycle refresh, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 remains Qualcomm’s most powerful smartphone chipset until later this year.
Conversely, GSMArena asserts that the iQOO 11S could be a candidate for the Dimensity 9300, an unreleased chipset that MediaTek is not expected to announce until the autumn.
iQOO is working on a new smartphone under the iQOO 11 series. The upcoming iQOO 11S smartphone is said to feature improved fast charging support and better performance.
The upcoming device would be the last flagship from iQOO to launch ahead of iQOO 12 series smartphones.
The smartphone was recently listed in China’s MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology), indicating that the launch is nearing.
Previously, a report revealed that iQOO would launch the smartphone in July.
Vivo China VP and GM of Brand and Product Strategy Jia Jingdong shared the image of the smartphone in a Weibo post.
The company official also shared the image of the upcoming Vivo X90S smartphone.
iQOO 11s is tipped to be in the works and is expected to launch very soon. Although the company is yet to reveal anything about the phone, rumours have now started flowing.
Now, tipster DigitalChatStation has shared some key details about the phone on Weibo, which is a microblogging platform in China.
In the post, he says the upcoming iQOO 11s will not feature the Vivo V2 ISP, instead the production model will have a dedicated display chipset.
iQOO is gearing up to launch another smartphone in the iQOO 11 series ahead of the launch of the iQOO 12 series in China. A tipster recently revealed that iQOO would launch the device in China in early July.
We can expect iQOO to officially announce and start teasing the features of the upcoming smartphone in the coming weeks. Popular tipster Digital Chat Station has tipped the specifications of the upcoming iQOO 11S smartphone.
iQOO 11S Design Revealed Officially
The image shared by the official reveals the design similar to a vanilla iQOO 11 smartphone.
The official hasn’t shared any images of the front and sides of the smartphone. The rear camera layout is also similar to the vanilla iQOO 11 smartphone. iQOO branding can also be seen in the middle of the bottom of the device.
Previously, the MIIT listing revealed that the model number would be V2304A. The listing has also revealed the support for 5G.
Apart from this, the MIIT listing hasn’t confirmed the moniker or the other specifications of the device.
Digital Chat Station has previously revealed that iQOO will equip the device with an upgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
There are rumours that iQOO will equip the device with MediaTek Dimensity 9300 SoC. iQOO is said to equip the device with a large 5000mAh battery. The company will also equip with an upgraded 200W fast charging tech.
The company will likely retain 6.78 inches Samsung E6 AMOLED display with a 2K resolution. The display will also retain the same 144Hz refresh rate.
iQOO is tipped to launch the smartphone in the international markets. Another tipster revealed that iQOO would launch the upcoming smartphone in two variants. The device is tipped to launch with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.0 storage.
The smartphone is tipped to launch with 8, 12GB of RAM and 256, 512GB of storage. In terms of optics, the device is tipped to equip with 50MP primary sensor. The camera is tipped to equip with Vivo’s V2 imaging sensor.
A recent report also revealed that the device would go on sale from July 8 in China.
The vanilla iQOO 11 sports a 6.78-inch E6 AMOLED display with a 2K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. The display gets protection from Coring Gorilla Glass Victus.
Underneath, it is equipped with a standard Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The chipset is paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage.
The device has a triple rear camera setup comprising a primary 50MP sensor with OIS. The sensor is paired with 13MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens with f/2.2 aperture.
iQOO uses a 16MP selfie camera with f/2.5 aperture. The device is backed with a 5000mAh battery which supports 120W fast charging tech.

In November 2022, Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, which has been on all the major Android flagship phones this year. Rumours are rife that its overclocked version, dubbed the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 2, may debut this month or in July. The said chipset is expected to power the iQOO 11S.
iQOO 11S specifications (rumoured)
As per previous reports, the iQOO 11S will have a 6.78-inch E6 AMOLED display that will produce a 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.

2) iQoo 11S Model Number, Specifications and Launch Timeline Leaked Online: All Details
Ans) After launching the iQoo 11 and the iQoo 11 Pro in China, the company now seems to be gearing up to launch a new addition to its 11 series. The handset, according to a new leak, has been tagged as the iQoo 11s. The smartphone could debut with a new processor or may go with an existing option. Keeping the new processor in mind, the placement of the new handset in the iQoo 11 series hierarchy also remains unknown. There is also a model number and details regarding the variants of this upcoming handset that have leaked online.
Tipster Paras Guglani (@passionategeekz) along with MEFMobile have collaboratively leaked out information about an upcoming iQoo smartphone tagged as the iQoo 11s. The handset will reportedly have the model number V2304A when released in China, but will have a different model number when it is released globally. This indicates the phone will first be launched in China followed by a global release. The source also claims that the iQoo 11s will be launched in China in the “third quarter” and is expected to release in global markets by August or June this year.
As for specifications, the iQoo 11s is expected to arrive in two variants. There could be a base variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage and a second option with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
The iQoo 11s is expected to feature a 6.78-inch QHD+ resolution (3,200 x 1,440 pixels) E6 AMOLED panel made by Samsung. The handset is expected to be powered by a yet to be announced MediaTek Dimensity 9300 SoC or an existing Dimensity 9000 series SoC when released in China. The handset could also be equipped with UFS 4.0 RAM.
Other details about this new handset remain unknown. This includes details regarding its camera specifications and its battery charging-related details, which would give us a better idea about whether it is placed alongside the iQoo 11 Pro or below the iQoo 11 in terms of value. While a global launch is expected, it’s unclear whether the iQoo 11s will make it to India as iQoo has also held back on launching the iQoo 11 Pro model this year.
The iQoo 11 was launched in India in January priced at Rs. 59,999 for the base 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. The smartphone was also launched in a 16GB RAM variant, which is available at Rs. 64,999 in India.
