iQOO 11-series launch plans are now back on - sort of. The next-gen Android flagship smartphone line is slated to consist of a Pro as well as a vanilla variant, the second of which is now officially destined to launch in Indonesia, although a synced event in the brand's native China remains in doubt. Nevertheless, iQOO is still promising a second generation of its fastest charging technology in its upcoming premium handset series.

iQOO has been obliged by public events at home to miss its scheduled December 2, 2022 launch for its latest top-end smartphones, thought to emerge as the 11 and 11 Pro with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. Now, there are signs that its plans are all but back underway, as the brand has announced a debut for at least 1 of these devices.

This event is, moreover, an international debut, thereby suggesting that iQOO will beat Xiaomi to a release for its take on the latest Qualcomm SoC outside of China in the process.

Then again, the company's Indonesian division has indicated that only 1 new "Monster" will appear on December 8, 2022, and that it will be the vanilla 11 rather than its higher-end Pro sibling.

The iQOO 10 series emerged with a signature BMW M Motorsport-branded rear panel alongside a second black colorway in 2022. Now, the 11's new teasers indicate more of the same, although the latter will switch to a plain matte finish for the first time.

This potentially global version of the flagship may or may not debut with a 4,700mAh battery compatible with the 200W charging tech that was the fastest on Earth on its launch; then again, iQOO has confirmed that this is an option for its Chinese-market SKUs.

The 11 is also slated to launch in Malaysia soon, possibly hitting other markets such as India thereafter.
