iQOO 11S will get Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

The iQOO 11S will go on sale on July 4, and today the phone passed a benchmark on Geekbench. The report usually specifies the processor used in the devices under test, and here we learned that the main core will run at 3.19 GHz — this is exactly the same frequency as the Cortex-X3 at the head of the famous Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
This result essentially closed all the controversy about which SoC Qualcomm brand vivo will use for the new flagship. According to the official information published on Weibo, the 11S will surpass the first two flagships iQOO 11 thanks to «the world’s first supercomputing processor with a dedicated display».


S in iQOO 11S stands for «Super» and the new phone will feature «super vision» technology, «super resolution» and «super frame matching» for «high definition visual experience». Interestingly, the official renders do not show the «V2» inscription on the camera island, suggesting that the vivo brand may be abandoning the branded V2 ISP in favor of the display chip.
The new phone will likely feature a 6.78-inch LTPO4 AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 3200×1440 pixel resolution.

The iQOO brand has gradually evolved beyond its original focus on gamers only, but is still actively engaged with the gaming community. China just finished selecting five coaches and 31 athletes to represent the country in the cybersports competition that is part of the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, which has been postponed until fall 2023 because of COVID-19.
