Frequently asked
When will the iQOO Neo 11 stop getting updates?
iQOO positions the Neo line below its numbered flagships, and the previous iQOO Neo 10 shipped with 3 Android OS upgrades and 4 years of security patches. On that basis the Neo 11, released in China in October 2025, should be supported to around late 2029. Because it is a China-only model with no explicit English commitment, we mark this as estimated rather than official.
Is the iQOO Neo 11 worth importing in 2026?
If you want the most raw performance per dollar and are comfortable with grey-market logistics, yes. A Snapdragon 8 Elite with a 7,500mAh battery for around $375 is exceptional value, and roughly three years of patches remain. But you give up local warranty, some 5G bands and easy servicing, so it suits enthusiasts rather than mainstream buyers.
How big is the Vivo T4 5G battery and how fast does it charge?
It has a 7300mAh battery, among the largest in its class, paired with 90W wired fast charging.
What processor powers the Vivo T4 5G?
It runs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, a capable mid-range chip suited to gaming at moderate settings.
