The tipster had shared the upcoming smartphone’s model number, launch timeline, and key specifications.

The tipster revealed the primary upgrade between the vanilla 11 and the forthcoming 11S would lie between fast charging and performance upgrades. iQOO is likely to ship the smartphone with a high core frequency version or overclocked version of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, built on a 4nm process. The chipset would resemble the one we saw in the Galaxy S23 series.

Even though the battery capacity is unknown, the tipster said that iQOO would include support for 200W fast charging tech. iQOO will likely retain the same Samsung E6 AMOLED screen with a 2K resolution. The display will have the same 144Hz refresh rate and will be similar to that in the iQOO 11. The Chinese OEM will also ship the smartphone with the same 50MP primary rear camera setup with a V2 ISP imaging system.

iQOO is yet to comment on the launch of the upcoming smartphone. The upcoming iQOO 11S smartphone is primarily for the Chinese market. A recent report claimed that iQOO might launch the smartphone in selected global markets.

The global launch is also tipped to happen between June and August. iQOO will launch the smartphone with two RAM and storage options. The base variant with 8GB would be paired with 256GB and 12GB variant with 512GB of storage. It is tipped that iQOO will use LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.0 storage.

In contrast, iQOO 11 was shipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, with up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The device uses a 6.78-inch E6 AMOLED panel with a 2K resolution and a refresh rate of 144Hz.
