IQOO 11 and iQOO 11 Pro are official and, in the most important ways, almost identical.
It starts with the design. The iQOO 11 series carries the three-color stripe design, which is a fusion of the iQOO and BMW M Motorsport brand colors. This finish is called iQOO 11 Legend Edition and uses both fiberglass and vegan leather, which has then been coated in a stain-resistant finish.
Both have a 6.78-inch 1440x3200px Samsung E6 AMOLED display with a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz, 1B colors, and HDR10+ support. The pair of iQOO 11 uses the new V2 chip, which takes advantage of the high frame rate management and can improve the game performance.
Both also share the same computing platform, which is impressive: It’s all powered by a 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset paired with 8GB, 12GB, or 16GB of RAM. The pair also bring next-generation storage: UFC 4.0, which promises to be faster than the current UFS 3.1.
Continuing the thread of performance, the iQOO 11 series can further boost RAM with Extended RAM 3.0 up to 8GB. Being an iQOO means gaming is high on the priority list, so vivo has equipped the phones with a Vapor Chamber cooling system with a 4,013mm2 stamped stainless steel chamber.
The cameras are slightly different between the iQOO 11 and 11 Pro. The iQOO 11 has a 1/1.57-inch 50MP Samsung GN5 main camera, a 13MP 3x “vertical” camera, and a 16MP fixed-focus ultrawide mm 8MP. The iQOO 11 Pro offers a 50MP 1/1.49-inch Sony IMX866 sensor for its main camera, a 50MP 150° ultrawide, and the same 13MP 3x “vertical” camera.
The cameras benefit from Pure Night View and 4K Super Night Video for improved noise reduction in both stills and video, as well as a mode that allows you to capture near-instantaneous photos in Zero-Shutter-Lag Motion Snapshots.
Another difference between iQOO 11 and 11 Pro is the front glass. The Pro has curved glass over the 6.78-inch display, while the iQOO 11’s display only has edges in a more conventional 2.5D curve.
The batteries and charging specifications are also different. The iQOO 11 has a 5,000mAh battery that can charge at up to 120W. The iQOO 11 Pro reduces the battery size to 4,700mAh, but charging increases to 200W. The Pro also has 50W wireless charging , which is missing in the vanilla model.
IQOO 11 Pro will be available for pre-order on December 21 in China. It’s CNY 4,999 (€689, converted) for the 8/256GB model, CNY 5,499 (€750, converted) for the 12/256GB model, and CNY 5,999 (€820, converted) for the top-of-the-line 16/512GB.
With iQOO 11, vivo is branching out from its home market of China and its usual footing grounds of India. The phone is available today in Indonesia and Malaysia and will arrive in Thailand on December 15 (16/512GB for THB 29,990). Vivo will hold an event to launch iQOO 11 in India on January 10, and the phone will go on sale on January 13.
