Based on the overall specifications, the iQOO 11 smartphone is to be considered as the best, but the other two devices too offer good premium specs to their users.
Firstly, about the performance. Both the iQOO and Samsung smartphones are equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, with primary clock speeds of 3.2 GHz and 3.36 GHz, respectively. The Apple device is powered by the Apple A15 Bionic chipset with a clock speed of 3.23 GHz. The Galaxy S23 smartphone will be able to offer a comparatively better performance than the other two devices.
For the display, The iQOO 11 smartphone features the largest 6.78″ LTPO4 AMOLED display with the highest resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels and the fastest refresh rate of 144Hz. The Samsung and Apple devices have Dynamic AMOLED 2X(6.1″, 1080 x 2340 pixels, 120Hz) and Super Retina XDR OLED(6.1″, 1170 x 2532 pixels, 60Hz) display panels respectively.
Coming to the cameras, the iQOO 11 and Galaxy S23 smartphones sport 50MP triple camera setups, while the iPhone 14 device only has a 12MP dual camera unit. Samsung’s Galaxy S23 and Apple’s iPhone devices feature 12MP ultrawide angle cameras, and the Galaxy device also has a 10MP telephoto camera. The iQOO 11 device only has an 8MP ultrawide lens. However, it offers a better 13MP telephoto camera.

Regarding the battery backup, the iQOO 11 smartphone packs the largest 5000 mAh battery, and supports the fastest wired fast charge feature of 120W. The Galaxy device, on the other hand, comes with wireless charging, as well as reverse wireless charging features. Apple’s iPhone device too supports wireless charging.
So, as mentioned, the iQOO 11 smartphone lacks certain features offered on the Galaxy and iPhone devices, and also falls a little behind in terms of some of the specs.
