In a recent report, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station shared key details about the iQOO 16’s display, chipset, and design. Now, the tipster has published a new Weibo post revealing more about the phone’s camera setup. While the iQOO 16 is expected to remain focused primarily on performance, it may not be positioned as a camera-centric flagship. Still, the latest leak suggests that iQOO could be giving its upcoming phone a more capable camera system than expected, with all three rear sensors reportedly getting a 50-megapixel resolution.

The new leak by DCS suggests that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro-powered iQOO 16 is being evaluated with three 50-megapixel rear cameras. The primary sensor reportedly measures 1/1.3-inch and is paired with an f/1.68 aperture, making it the largest and brightest camera in the setup. He has previously claimed that it could feature the OmniVision OV50Q sensor as the primary snapper.

The ultra-wide camera is said to use another 50-megapixel sensor with an f/2.0 aperture. Meanwhile, the periscope telephoto camera reportedly has a 1/1.95-inch 50-megapixel sensor and an f/2.65 aperture. DCS also notes that the lens arrangement appears to follow an inverted design, while the exact telephoto and macro capabilities are still being determined.
