iQOO Neo 11 Pro, iQOO Neo 11 Pro Plus New Specifications Leaked
iQOO is reportedly developing the Neo 11 Pro and Neo 11 Pro+ for a Q2 2026 launch in China. The devices are leaked to feature 6.83-inch 2K displays with 165Hz refresh rates, Snapdragon 8 Elite or Dimensity 9500 chipsets, and massive 8,000mAh+ silicon batteries, though they may remain exclusive to the Chinese market.
Mumbai, March 25: iQOO is reportedly expanding its Neo 11 smartphone lineup in China with the development of two new high-end models, tentatively dubbed the Neo 11 Pro and Neo 11 Pro+. According to recent leaks from industry tipster Smart Pikachu, the upcoming devices are expected to feature significant upgrades in display technology and battery capacity compared to the standard Neo 11 launched in late 2025.
The new leak suggests that both smartphones will move to a 6.83-inch 2K LTPS flat display, a notable step up from the 1.5K panels typically found in this segment. These screens are tipped to support ultra-high refresh rates, with some reports indicating they could reach 165Hz to cater to the brand's core gaming audience.

iQOO Neo 11 Pro Flagship Performance and Silicon Battery Technology
Under the hood, iQOO is said to be testing the new devices with top-tier processors from both Qualcomm and MediaTek. The prototypes currently feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite and the Dimensity 9500 chipsets. While the final naming convention has not been confirmed, it is speculated that the Snapdragon-powered variant may launch as the Neo 11 Pro, while the Dimensity version could take the Pro+ moniker..
A major highlight of the leaked specifications is the inclusion of "silicon-based" batteries. The capacity for these units reportedly starts with an "8," suggesting that the phones could pack 8,000mAh or larger batteries. This would mark a substantial increase over the 7,500mAh unit found in the current standard Neo 11, potentially setting a new endurance benchmark for performance-focused smartphones.
The Neo 11 Pro series is expected to adopt a more premium construction, featuring a metal middle frame instead of the plastic frames often used in mid-range flagship killers. For security, the devices are tipped to include 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensors, which offer faster and more reliable authentication than traditional optical in-display scanners, especially when fingers are wet or dirty.
Despite the high-end hardware, the devices are expected to maintain a relatively slim profile. Leak sources suggest that iQOO is focusing on refining the ergonomics to ensure the massive battery does not result in a bulky handset. The phones will likely ship with OriginOS 6 based on Android 16 in the Chinese market.
While the Neo 11 Pro series is generating significant interest in China, its global availability remains uncertain. Recent reports indicate that iQOO may not launch any Neo-branded smartphones in India during 2026. Instead, the company appears to be focusing on its flagship 15 series and the more budget-friendly Z11 series for the Indian market to avoid product overlap and manage rising component costs.

If these leaks prove accurate, the Neo 11 Pro series could launch in China as early as the second quarter of 2026. The introduction of these models might lead to the discontinuation of the standard Neo 11 as the brand shifts its upper-mid-range portfolio toward these higher-specification 2K display variants.
