The iQOO 11 was one of the main pretenders for the role of the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 smartphone. But Xiaomi did its best to outrun all of its competitors and release the first phone with this chip onboard. Both brands have scheduled to host a new product launch conference on December 1. But both had to postpone their events. As a result, the VIVO X90 Pro+ became the first phone with this chip; the iQOO 11 was rescheduled for December 8; the Xiaomi Mi 13 release date was pushed back to December 11. Today, the iQOO phone with the model V2243A appeared in China Telecom’s terminal product library.

Simply put, the phone is about to land in China. But from the mentioned source, we can also learn about its specs and the actual look. The device will have four storage variants – 12GB + 256GB, 8GB + 256GB, 16GB + 256GB, 16GB + 512GB. At the same time, the series will have two other models – Legendary Edition and Isle of Man Special Edition. They will come in three colorways.
The product library information shows that iQOO 11 has a front-facing 16-megapixel camera and a rear-mounted 50-megapixel + 13-megapixel + 8-megapixel camera module. Moreover, it will come with a weight of 205 grams, dimensions of 164.86×77.07×8.72mm, and a 6.78-inch 3200×1440 resolution screen.

In terms of configuration, the iQOO 11 will be powered by the SM8550 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) processor. The latter uses a 4nm process with a new 1+2+2+3 architecture, including a 3.2GHz Cortex-X3-based Kryo super core, four 2.8GHz performance cores (2×Cortex A715+ 2 × Cortex A710) and three 2.0GHz Cortex-A510 energy-efficient cores. There will also be a built-in 5000mAh battery. Regrettably, the device cancels the 3.5mm headphone jack.
