The iQOO Neo 11 launched in China back in November 2025, bringing flagship specifications at quite an affordable price point. Now, new information suggests the brand could add the more flagship iQOO Neo 11 Pro to the lineup, potentially launching in Q2 2026.

iQOO Neo 11 Pro could feature Dimensity 9500s

According to the tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo, the iQOO Neo 11 smartphone could be scheduled for a Q2 2026 release in China. This is, so far, widely believed to be the iQOO Neo 11 Pro, which has been rumoured before.

When asked in the comments if the phone would feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Dimensity 9500 processor, the tipster confirmed it will use "Tianfang", which stands for Dimensity, confirming a MediaTek chipset. It remains unclear if the phone will use the standard Dimensity 9500 or the toned-down Dimensity 9500s

For those unaware, the Dimensity 9500s already powers the Poco X8 Pro Max and is also expected to power the Oppo Find X9s. Furthermore, there's also no concrete evidence to suggest the phone will be called iQOO Neo 11 Pro. The tipster also noted that rising component costs could potentially impact the rollout of the smartphones.

Aside from the chipset, rumours suggest the phone could inherit the core specifications of the existing iQOO Neo 11 launched in China in 2025. This means it could boast a 6.82-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, paired with up to 16 GB RAM (LPDDR5X) and 1TB storage (UFS 4.1).

Optics-wise, it could likely feature a 50 MP primary snapper with OIS alongside an 8 MP ultrawide lens. Powering the internals could be a 7,500mAh battery with 100W charging. The smartphone could run OriginOS 6 features based on Android 16 upon launch.

More information about the supposed Neo 11 Pro is expected to be unveiled soon as we inch closer to Q2 2026, so stay tuned.
