Now, being first to release some thing with a few hardware spec does now no longer assure something in line with se, however iQOO telephones typically honest nicely, while a whole package deal in lots of ways, so there`s sufficient proof to corroborate that iQOO may simply have pulled off any other winner here. Or at least, some thing respectable.
iQOO in truth has given its new telecellsmartphone such a lot of enhancements, it`s difficult to consider that the iQOO 9T become released slightly six months ago. A lot of these enhancements are proper improvements, too, that’s what definitely matters. iQOO hasn`t released the iQOO eleven only for the sake of launching a brand new product, however it sincerely had a few first-rate(er) matters to expose off and so it did.

Well, no, however it`s were given sufficient hearthplace strength to make us say, the imminent OnePlus eleven higher be this good.
iQOO eleven 5G | Design and show

You can get it in black “alpha” or white “legend” flavours, with the latter being a piece extra visually putting with BMW M Motorsport`s iconic tri-coloration racing stripes brand at the back. The end, in this precise version, is likewise a piece specific. iQOO is the usage of a layer of fake leather-based material –on pinnacle of glass— which feels definitely, definitely first-rate and premium. It did now no longer capture a whole lot of dust withinside the extraordinary 20-days we’ve got had it however you can`t definitely inform how these items will preserve up with time (thankfully iQOO ships a clean case withinside the box, simply in case). It`s a bummer that the iQOO eleven doesn`t have any professional IP-score aleven though.
The fake leather-based offers the telecellsmartphone sufficient grip, too (the black version`s clean matte end may be slippery), that’s a great deal wished due to the fact the iQOO eleven is never a small telecellsmartphone. It`s were given a few heft to it as nicely however we are able to attest that it`s sincerely extra ergonomic –and higher searching— than the iQOO 9T. The outer body is made completely out of metal.

The SD eight Gen 2 withinside the iQOO eleven doesn`t usually run at peak (performance), which isn`t completely unexpected thinking about how those excessive-stop chips are designed. You can`t definitely make this out in real-time however benchmark apps like CPU Throttling take a look at and 3DMark show this conclusively. The Adreno 740 GPU, at large, ought to handiest control a balance of 57%. The CPU faired a piece higher at approximately 76%. This doesn`t suggest the iQOO eleven is gradual or that it throttles.
