iQOO is reportedly preparing for its next launch event in China, where the company could unveil several new products, including the iQOO 16, iQOO Neo 12, and a new compact tablet. In the latest development, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed details about the iQOO 16’s design. Meanwhile, iQOO flagship series Product Manager Wang Ken has started teasing what appears to be the aforementioned tablet.
iQOO 16 gets a futuristic camera design
According to Digital Chat Station, the iQOO 16 will feature a new square-shaped camera module with heavily rounded corners. The three rear cameras are reportedly arranged in a connected layout within the module, giving the phone a distinctive appearance. The camera island is also said to feature additional detailing around its outer frame and underlying textures, adding a more intricate and mechanical character to the design.
The rear panel is expected to use a newly developed manufacturing process, with the overall design following a futuristic, science-fiction-inspired aesthetic. The combination of the unusual camera arrangement and textured finish could give the iQOO 16 a noticeably different look from previous models and help it stand out among upcoming flagships.
Earlier leaks suggest the iQOO 16 could feature three 50-megapixel rear cameras. The primary camera may use a 1/1.3-inch sensor with an f/1.68 aperture, while the ultrawide and periscope telephoto cameras are also expected to use 50-megapixel sensors.
On the front, it is expected to feature a 6.85-inch Samsung-made flat display with 2K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. It is also tipped to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro and is rumored to pack an 8,500mAh battery with 100W wired charging, wireless charging, a dedicated display chip, 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, USB 3.2, dual speakers, and IP68/IP69 ratings.
iQOO’s compact tablet teased
The screenshot shared by Wang Ken appears to tease the company’s upcoming compact tablet, although he has not revealed any specifications. The device is believed to be the Vivo tablet with model number iPA2691, which recently received SRRC certification in China. The compact is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6-series chipset and an active cooling system with a built-in fan.
The tablet is also rumored to support Wi-Fi connectivity without cellular support and could target gaming users. An OLED display, slim bezels, and a high refresh rate are among the other expected features.
