iQOO 11 5G Launched As Malaysia’s First Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Smartphone

The first batch of Qualcomm’s next flagship SoC has arrived, with vivo’s sub-brand iQOO leading the way.

The iQOO 11 is powered by latest technologies on top of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC – including 16GB LPDDR5X and 256GB UFS 4.0 storage. Another 8GB of virtual RAM is available on top of the hardware RAM for better performance. Battery is 5000mAh, and supports 120W FlashCharge which can top up from 0% to full in 25 minutes.

Cooling is managed by a vapor chamber cooling system with stainless steel plus three graphite layers; the structure is held by “aviation-grade” aluminum middle frame which claims to drop up to 2°C on the top section of the device.

Display is powered by the latest 6.78″ QHD+ Samsung E6 AMOLED display, paired with V2 chip which predicts motion and compensate according to reduce smearing and lag. Similar to NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.0 – this chip can interpolate frames up to 90 or 120Hz for games that do not natively support high refresh rates.

It comes with a pair of many things – including “In-Display Dual Monster Touch”, which operates two halves of the display separately allowing more inputs; dual X-Axis linear motor for better haptics; dual symmetrically positioned speakers – which also utilizes special algorithm to boost the sound field up to 120° wide.

Cameras are powered by three sensors, with the primary sensor courtesy of Samsung ISOCELL GN5 at 50MP. 13MP telephoto/portrait camera1 and 8MP ultrawide camera works in tandem for different shooting scenarios.

Inspired by BMW M Motorsport – the iQOO 11 5G will arrive in Malaysia with a single color scheme – the Legend edition. The special colorway mimics that of the signature tri-color used by BMW’s racing division. This model is online-exclusive – available through vivo e-store, Lazada, Shopee and TikTok shop priced at RM3,299 (special pricing – ends 15th December 2022).

Starting today until 15th December 2022, customers are entitled to receive a 1-to-1 exchange for manufacturing defects, a iQOO VIP card and iQOO Wireless Active worth RM99 with any purchase of the 11 5G, as well as PWP discounts.

Pokdepinion: Makes sense now that I remember seeing this brand on racing teams before.
