India now offers iQOO 11 for purchase. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC is now featured on it, making it the first smartphone in the nation to do so.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC will be found in the OnePlus 11 5G, which will be released in India a month later. Since both products are anticipated to be priced very similarly, consumers will be competing to pay attention to the OnePlus 11 5G and the iQOO 11 5G.
The OnePlus 10 Pro 5G price was around $65,000, but I feel that the OnePlus 11 will be a little cheaper. Let me briefly describe the iQOO 11, so we can contrast it with the OnePlus 11 and determine how they differ.
India’s iQOO 11 specifications
The iQOO 11 is intended to be a top-tier flagship device. As a result, it has a sizable 6.78-inch 2K AMOLED LTPO 4.0 display that supports a resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels.
This display can support a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz. That is impressive, considering that nearly all flagship smartphones, even those in the ultra-premium segment, only support a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz.
Due to LTPO 4.0 technology, which continuously switches the display between different refresh rate levels depending on the content on the screen, you don’t need to be concerned about battery drain due to the high refresh rate display.
The iQOO 11’s display can be as bright as 1800 nits, which is excellent news for those who use their smartphones outdoors most of the time.
The handset is sponsored by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, as was already mentioned. It has a 4nm TSMC chipset and can support up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.
The device has a 5000mAh battery, and 120W fast charging is supported. The iQOO 11 supports face unlocking and an in-display fingerprint scanner.
The smartphone has three cameras: an 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor, a 13MP 2x telephoto sensor, and a 50MP primary Samsung GN5 sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS) support.
A 16MP camera is located at the front of the device for selfies and video calls. The system will come preinstalled with Funtouch OS, which is based on Android 13. Major Android OS updates would be provided for three years, according to iQOO.
Let’s quickly review the smartphone’s cost before making a comparison to the OnePlus 11 5G.
Price of iQOO 11 5G in India
Two iQOO 11 5G memory configurations will be offered in India: 8GB+128GB and 16GB+512GB. Many Indians would have preferred a 12GB+256GB variant, which is unavailable.
The price of the 8GB+128GB variant is Rs 59,999, while the price of the 16GB+512GB variant is Rs 64,999. Therefore, there is a Rs 5000 price difference between the two variants.
However, if you have a card from HDFC Bank or ICICI Bank, you will immediately receive a discount of Rs 5000, effectively bringing the cost of the smartphone down to Rs 54,999 and Rs 59,999 for the two variants.
