Vivo has just confirmed that the Vivo X500 series will be unveiled on Sept. 21 in China. And now, its sub-brand iQOO has revealed that the iQOO 16 and iQOO Pad Ultra will also debut this month. While the launch date has not been confirmed yet, it appears that these devices may go official by the end of the month. Ahead of the launch, the brand has revealed what to expect from the iQOO 16 and Pad Ultra.
iQOO 16 pushes performance further
The above poster gives a glimpse of the new camera module of the iQOO 16, which is placed on the left. According to the brand, it will feature a new in-house gaming chip and a next-generation Monster Super Engine designed to extract more performance from Qualcomm’s top-tier flagship platform. The combination is claimed to enable console-like ray tracing effects and improved visual quality during demanding games.
iQOO says it has worked with Samsung Display on a high-end panel aimed at delivering both sharp visuals and smooth motion, addressing the usual compromise between resolution and refresh rate. The phone will also adopt a futuristic design that moves away from conventional performance-focused styling. iQOO says the standard iQOO 16 will deliver product capabilities that go beyond what would normally be expected from a Pro Max-class device.
Coming back to the design, tipster DCS says that the iQOO 16 will feature a square camera deco with a floating-style design. The black module sits in the top-left corner and is marked “100X Tele Lens”, while a circular external flash is placed on the top-right. The engineering unit reportedly lacks an LED light strip, while the display quality is said to be impressive. The phone is expected in 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+512GB and 16GB+1TB configurations.
iQOO Pad Ultra targets hardcore gamers
In the above image, it appears that the camera module shown on the right belongs to the Pad Ultra. It seems to have a single camera with a ring LED flash.
The iQOO Pad Ultra takes a different route by attempting to create a more portable gaming device rather than simply being another large tablet. It is expected to combine a top-tier next-generation flagship processor with a compact body, multi-finger touch response and support for demanding AAA games across devices.
A full-area cooling system is also planned to help manage sustained gaming workloads, while the compact form factor is designed to make the tablet easier to carry and handle. iQOO describes it as a new gaming form rather than an incremental tablet upgrade, with the company aiming to bridge the gap between smartphones, tablets and PCs.
