Tipster Digital Chat Station has shared new details about iQOO 16 in a fresh leak this morning. According to the tipster’s latest Weibo post, an engineering sample built around the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset is currently being tested with high-end symmetrical dual speakers from the 1115 series.
Alongside the speaker setup, the same prototype is said to include a 0916 series X-axis linear motor for more precise haptic feedback, a dedicated graphics chip to boost gaming performance, and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for biometrics.
The device is also tipped to carry IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, USB 3.2 support, and an AR film layer on the display. Likewise, an OV50Q sensor will power the main camera.
iQOO 16 to feature 8500mAh battery
Interestingly, the tipster’s comment section added a few more clues. When asked whether iQOO 16 will house a squarish, quadrangular camera module, Digital Chat Station gave a noncommittal answer. On battery capacity, though, the tipster more or less confirmed the phone will house an 8,500mAh cell.
This isn’t the first time the 8,500mAh figure and symmetrical speaker setup have come up. As we reported last month, the same battery capacity and flagship-grade speaker configuration were tipped alongside a 2K flat display featuring a new customized panel material and an ultra-high refresh rate meant to improve gaming and multimedia performance.
Separately, another leak had suggested the iQOO 16 Ultra variant may be skipped this generation due to rising memory costs, leaving the standard model as the star of the lineup.
While the post doesn’t name the phone directly, the hints and the ongoing comment thread suggest it’s likely the iQOO 16. This tracks with what has already surfaced about the device, including its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, 2K flat display, and flagship-grade symmetrical speakers.
