The iQOO 11 5G launch date is officially set for 8 December, making it the first smartphone outside China to be powered by Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. iQOO, the performance-focused sub-brand, has placed the iQOO 11 at the top of its flagship lineup, and the spec sheet backs that positioning at every turn.
iQOO 11 5G Launch Date and Expected Price
iQOO initially planned to unveil the iQOO 11 5G on 2 December before shifting the date to 8 December. An India launch is expected in early 2023, alongside the iQOO 11 Pro. While the official India price has not been announced, early estimates place the iQOO 11 5G under the ₹50,000 mark, which would make it a competitive flagship option against similarly priced rivals.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Processor and Performance
The headline feature of the iQOO 11 5G is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset — the fastest and most advanced processor Qualcomm has produced to date. Paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage, the phone is built to handle intensive gaming, multitasking, and content creation without compromise. UFS 4.0 delivers significantly faster read and write speeds compared to previous-generation storage, meaning apps launch faster and large files transfer in seconds. The phone runs Android 13 with iQOO's Origin OS 3 layered on top.
Display: 6.78-Inch 2K E6 AMOLED at 144Hz
The iQOO 11 5G sports a 6.78-inch E6 AMOLED display with Quad HD Plus (2K) resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. The E6 panel grade means improved brightness and power efficiency compared to older E5 panels. Corning Gorilla Glass protection sits over the display for everyday scratch and drop resistance. Whether you are gaming, streaming 4K video, or scrolling through feeds, this screen is engineered to keep up.
Triple Camera Setup and Imaging Features
Photography on the iQOO 11 5G is handled by a triple rear camera system:
- 50 MP primary sensor — the main shooter for daylight and low-light photography
- 13 MP ultra-wide camera — for expansive landscape and group shots
- 12 MP telephoto sensor — for zoomed shots and detailed portraits
iQOO claims improvements in low-light photography and portrait rendering over previous models. For selfies and video calls, a 16 MP front camera is housed in the display cutout.
Battery Life and Charging
A 5,000 mAh battery keeps the iQOO 11 5G running through demanding use. When it does need a top-up, the phone supports 120W fast charging, which can take the battery from near-empty to a significant charge in minutes. An in-display fingerprint sensor handles biometric security seamlessly.
