It was reported yesterday that the iQOO 16 has bagged 3C certification in China, indicating that it may launch by the end of September or by early October in China. As per a new leak by tipster Digital Chat Station, the iQOO 16 will be a substantial upgrade over its predecessor, with a new display and redesigned rear camera module reportedly among the changes. Here’s a look at the details shared by the tipster.
iQOO 16 tipped to get a 165Hz 2K Samsung display, new design
According to DCS, the iQOO 16 could feature a 6.85-inch Samsung-made flat display with a 2K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. The panel size and resolution are similar to those on the iQOO 15, which has a 6.85-inch 3168 × 1440 display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The higher refresh rate could therefore be one of the key display upgrades on the upcoming model. That could make gaming and scrolling feel noticeably smoother.
The phone is also tipped to use the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro platform, carrying the SM8975 model number. The tipster added that the engineering units retain a similar screen corner shape and frame design, while the rear camera decoration is changing significantly. The camera module is said to move to a small square positioned in the upper-left corner, forming part of a new overall design identity for the phone.
The tipster has previously claimed that the iQOO 16 will be equipped with a massive 8,500mAh battery with 100W charging and wireless charging support, 1115-series symmetrical dual speakers, a 0916-series X-axis linear motor, a dedicated display chip, and 3D ultrasonic fingerprint recognition.
Other reported features include IP68 and IP69 ratings, USB 3.2 connectivity, an AR coating, and an OV50Q main camera sensor. It is speculated that a Vivo phone with model number V2606A, which was recently spotted at Chinese certification platforms, could be the iQOO 16.
