Today, besides the regular version, VIVO also released the iQOO 11 Pro. That’s not difficult to guess that the Pro model has some advantages over the vanilla variants. The most significant selling point of this device is 200W fast charging. But other features deserve our attention as well.
iQOO 11 Pro Selling Points
In terms of design, iQOO 11 Pro still adopts the racing car design and is available in three colors. By the way, the sports car version is inspired by the legendary three colors of BMW M racing cars.
Hardware
The entire series is promoted to be the first smartphone in this brand that comes with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. But it’s true only for iQOO. If looking at it under the VIVO brand, then the first model was the VIVO X90 Pro+.
Apart from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, the phone also comes with UFS 4.0 flash storage and LPDDR5X memory. Among them, the UFS 4.0 read speed is up by 200%, the LPDDR5X running speed is increased by 1/3. In effect, the phone scores over 1.3 million on AnTuTu.
In addition, the iQOO 11 Pro also uses the self-developed V2 chip. It is ideal for video shooting and when playing heavy games. As a result, the chip increases the game frame rate.
Cooling
As you guess, the iQOO 11 Pro is a good option for mobile gamers. So it should have a strong cooling system. Fortunately, the company thinks similarly and powers the phone with a low-temperature intelligent heat dissipation system. It includes a 4K large-area stainless steel stamping VC, three layers of graphite, and a more powerful thermal conductivity gel, with a total heat dissipation area of 24,768mm2.
Battery
The battery inside this version has a 4700mAh capacity. The latter supports up to 200W super flash charging. Thus, it only takes about 10 minutes to charge the battery to 100%, which is the fastest charging speed so far among all second-generation Snapdragon 8 models.
Screen
The screen of this smartphone is another highlight. The iQOO 11 Pro comes standard with a 6.78-inch 2K screen, which uses the Samsung E6 luminescent material, and has better color, brightness, and power consumption performance. The maximum refresh rate reaches 144Hz, and it supports 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and comes with a self-developed XDR display engine and HDR.
At the same time, it also supports LTPO4.0 adaptive refresh rate technology, that is, in different usage scenarios, the screen refresh rate automatically adapts to the display frame rate of the system, improves the smoothness of touch and sliding display, and ensures that the display is always in the optimal frame rate state. It also saves power.
Gaming
By the way, our protagonist is equipped with a self-developed FALCON graphics engine. Combined with AI algorithms and underlying computing acceleration capabilities, it can genuinely restore screen details such as shadows and materials. Plus, iQOO has cooperated with Netease to realize mobile ray tracing technology for the first time. When playing Call of Duty in 144Hz Mode, the game is stable at 143.1 frames for 1 hour.
Camera
In terms of imaging, the iQOO 11 Pro has a triple camera on the back. It includes a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 13-megapixel telephoto lens, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. The camera supports 2x optical zoom. With the self-developed V2 chip, it turns into a 4K super-sensing “Night vision device” in extremely dark environments. In other words, the iQOO 11 Pro can clearly capture scenes that are invisible to the naked eye.
Price
Finally, the prices of the three versions of iQOO 11 Pro are as follows:
- 8GB+256GB – 4999 yuan ($717);
- 12GB+256GB – 5499 yuan ($789);
- 16GB+512GB – 5999 yuan ($861).
