iQOO’s next Neo-series phone may swap Qualcomm for MediaTek.
A new Geekbench listing believed to belong to the iQOO Neo 11S has surfaced online, and it points to MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9500 chip. If the listing is accurate, the phone could become one of the first devices to use the company’s next-generation flagship processor.
The benchmark entry, linked to a Vivo device carrying the model number V2545A (via), also suggests the phone could ship with Android 16 and 16GB of RAM.
MediaTek Variant Could Join the Neo 11 Lineup
What’s interesting here isn’t the benchmark score itself. It’s the chipset.
The standard iQOO Neo 11 launched with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite platform, so the appearance of a Dimensity 9500-powered variant hints that iQOO may once again offer buyers a choice between Qualcomm and MediaTek flagships.
The Geekbench listing identifies the processor as MT6993, which is widely expected to be the Dimensity 9500. The chip appears to feature a combination of performance and efficiency cores, alongside a Mali-G1-Ultra MC12 GPU.
Benchmark results show the device scoring 3,395 points in the single-core test and 10,312 points in the multi-core test.
Fast Charging May Remain Unchanged
The same model number reportedly appeared earlier on China’s 3C certification database.
That listing was said to include a 100W charger, suggesting the phone could retain the fast charging speeds already offered by the Neo 11 series. Beyond that, details remain scarce.
There’s currently no information on the display, cameras, battery capacity, or design.
What We Know So Far
At this stage, the Neo 11S appears to be shaping up as a performance-focused addition to the Neo lineup rather than a completely new device.
The biggest expected change is the move to MediaTek’s upcoming flagship silicon. Whether that brings other hardware upgrades remains unclear.
As with all benchmark leaks, it’s worth treating the information cautiously until iQOO confirms the device officially.
