iQOO 16R inches towards launch, bags another important certification

iQOO has started teasing the iQOO 16 in India, and the phone is likely to launch in November. While the device has not yet received India’s BIS certification, it was recently approved by Malaysia’s SIRIM authority. Apart from the iQOO 16, the brand is also working on another phone in the 16 series. Its launch also appears to be approaching, as it has received an important certification.

iQOO 16R gets TKDN certification

As seen above, a new iQOO phone with the model number I2606 has been approved by Indonesia’s TKDN authority. The listing confirms that the device has been certified in the country but does not reveal any specifications. However, a previous IMEI database listing revealed that the device will be called the iQOO 16R when it launches.

Apart from the IMEI database and TKDN listings, the iQOO 16R also appeared in Europe’s EEC certification database in August. The phone is believed to be based on the iQOO Z12 Turbo, which is expected to launch soon in China. The reason for this speculation is that the iQOO 15R, released in India, was a tweaked version of the China-bound iQOO Z11 Turbo.

iQOO 16R specifications (rumored)

The iQOO Z12 Turbo is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6, which has not yet been officially announced. On the front, it is tipped to feature a 6.59-inch OLED display with a high refresh rate.

The Z12 Turbo is expected to draw power from a massive 10,000mAh battery. Another major addition could be a built-in cooling fan, which was not available on the Z11 Turbo.

Considering that the iQOO 16R, aimed at global markets, is expected to be based on the Z12 Turbo, it could feature the aforementioned specifications. However, iQOO has not confirmed the phone’s specifications or launch timeline.
