Could Be World’s First Smartphone With Dimensity 9300 SoC – Gizbot News

iQOO launched the iQOO 11 and the iQOO 11 Pro Android smartphones last year in China and then offered the standard variant in India and other markets. It appears iQOO is readying yet another device in the lineup, called the iQOO 11s.

The iQOO 11 and the iQOO 11 Pro smartphones were powered by the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. The iQOO 11s could be powered by a flagship-grade MediaTek Dimensity SoC. Let’s take a look at all the available information on the upcoming iQOO smartphone.

iQOO 11s Rumored Specifications, Features

iQOO is yet to acknowledge the existence of the iQOO 11s officially. Hence, most of the specifications and features of the Android smartphone have been collated from leaks and rumors.

The iQOO 11s is tipped to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset. The chipset packs eight CPU cores. It is a 5G-enabled chipset but MediaTek hasn’t officially announced the same. The SoC is expected to support LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. It appears the iQOO 11s could be the world’s first smartphone to feature the flagship-grade chipset from MediaTek.

The Dimensity 9300 SoC powering the iQOO 11s is tipped to be paired with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM, but buyers are expected to get 256GB of internal storage in both variants. iQOO might not offer a dedicated microSD card slot for expanding onboard storage.

The iQOO 11s may feature a 6.78-inch Quad HD+ E6 AMOLED display with 1440 X 3200 pixels resolution. The 2K display is tipped to have a punch-hole cutout that will house a 16MP front-facing camera for selfies, video calls, and face unlock; and hide an under-display fingerprint scanner.

Details about the battery, rear camera setup, and other specifications of the iQOO 11s currently remain a mystery. However, the smartphone may have multiple models for sale inside and outside China.

iQOO 11s India Launch And Expected Pricing

The iQOO 11 and the iQOO 11 Pro smartphones were powered by the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The iQOO 11s could be powered by a MediaTek 9300, but some reports suggest iQOO may embed a different SoC from the Dimesnity 9000 series.

The iQOO 11s is rumored to be priced lower than the devices powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. In other words, the iQOO 11s could be priced below ₹50,000 in India.

Some reports suggest the iQOO 11s will release in China in the second quarter of 2023, and arrive in India a few weeks later. Needless to mention, the model intended for markets outside China should be slightly different. In other words. iQOO could be readying multiple variants of the iQOO 11s for international markets, including India.
