Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu says the iQOO 16T is now being tested with a combined liquid and air cooling system. The leak also says the phone will keep a 200MP main camera but won’t have a periscope zoom lens this generation either.
For the regular iQOO 16 though, the brand will reportedly use a 50MP main sensor. iQOO has been going back and forth on this, according to reports. It’s said to be testing both 200MP and 50MP main camera options for the iQOO 16 before going with the larger-sensor 50MP option.
iQOO 16T: What else do we know
This isn’t the first leak about the 16T. An earlier report in June said the phone was in development and would keep the large-display approach of its predecessor. Last month, another leak added that it’s being tested with a 2K Samsung display and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip, along with a built-in cooling fan. Today’s leak builds on that, suggesting the fan may now be paired with liquid cooling as well.
For a sense of what to expect, the 16T’s predecessor, the iQOO 15T, launched in May with a 200MP main camera that supported CIPA 4.5 stabilization, 4x lossless zoom, and portrait mode across all focal lengths. It also came with a 50MP ultra-wide lens with macro support, the Dimensity 9500 Monster Edition chip, the in-house Q3 gaming chip, and an 8,000mAh battery with 100W charging.
If the 16T follows a similar setup while adding the dual cooling system, it would mean better heat management during longer use, though nothing about performance gains has been confirmed yet.
There’s no word yet on a launch date, chipset, or battery size for the 16T. The 15T only launched in May, so a wait is likely before official details arrive.
