Vivo IQOO Neo 11s Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Vivo IQOO Neo 11s – Another Hit Not for Us

The Chinese company Vivo surprises with one unusual feature. The manufacturer often reserves a number of extremely interesting smartphones for its domestic market, capable of surprising even the most discerning electronics enthusiast with their price-performance ratio. And the subject of today's review is precisely such a device, which many residents of Europe and the CIS will want to purchase, even taking into account all regional peculiarities.

The new device has a stylish exterior, although it's easy to tell it's not a flagship. For example, the frame and back panel are made of polycarbonate with a matte texture. They skimped on assembly materials to keep the cost reasonable, but the developer didn't forget about IP69 water resistance. The neat, compact photo module block, several color options, and thin screen bezels with a built-in fingerprint scanner look good, albeit ordinary for this class of device. The 6.83-inch AMOLED panel boasts an impressive 3200x1440 resolution, delivering exceptional image clarity. The same can be said for the smooth 144Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 5000 nits. There are no noticeable issues with color reproduction.

Gamers will be pleased with the excellent performance of the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor, 12/16GB of RAM, and Mali-G1 Ultra MP12 graphics accelerator. Over three million points in the AnTuTu benchmark allow you to fully immerse yourself in modern games at maximum graphics settings and a stable, high frame rate. While the high-end chipset does run hot, throttling is not noticeable even during extended gaming sessions. Battery life reaches an excellent 15 hours of screen time thanks to a massive 9020 mAh battery. Wireless charging has been sacrificed, but the wired version boasts a 100W power rating. Storage options range from 256 to 1024 GB.

Another area of ​​savings is photography. The secondary sensors have been eliminated, with only a mediocre 8-megapixel wide-angle sensor available. The main 50-megapixel camera module with hybrid stabilization guarantees detailed photos and videos, even in low light or during fast-paced action. However, noise and blur in such shots will still be noticeable to the naked eye. However, the device offers loud stereo sound, NFC support, and 5G connectivity. However, its focus on China is reflected in the lack of FDD-LTE B7, essential for 4G networks in many countries, and the presence of untranslated apps and services. However, the previously mentioned advantages and the modest price make these shortcomings irrelevant and the phablet a good buy.
