Several upcoming Vivo and iQOO smartphones have surfaced in the GSMA IMEI database, hinting that the companies are preparing more devices for different markets. The listings reveal model numbers for four Vivo phones and two iQOO models. While most specifications remain unknown, some details about the iQOO 16R have already surfaced.
Vivo X500 FE, Y32 5G and T6 Lite 5G spotted
Vivo is preparing the X500 series for China later this month, with the X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max expected to debut alongside the lineup. Global versions of these models are also in development, and the X500e, X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max have previously appeared in the IMEI database with model numbers V2632, V2619, V2621, and V2610, respectively.
The Vivo X500 FE has now joined the list with model numbers V2653 and V2654, likely representing different markets. The V2653 has also appeared in Europe’s EEC database. At present, there is no information about the X500 FE’s specifications. The X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max global variants are expected to retain the specifications of their Chinese counterparts, although this has not been confirmed.
The same database has also revealed the Vivo Y32 5G with model number V2639 and the Vivo T6 Lite 5G with model number V2647. No specifications or launch details have surfaced for either smartphone so far.
iQOO 16R and Z12 Lite also in development
iQOO is also preparing new models, with the iQOO Z12 Lite and iQOO16R appearing in the GSMA IMEI database under model numbers I2603 and I2606. The Z12 Lite had previously received EEC certification in July, while the 16R has now been spotted for the first time.
The iQOO 16R could be based on the China-bound iQOO 16T, just as the iQOO 15T was a tweaked version of the China-bound iQOO 15T. It is reportedly being tested with a 2K Samsung OLED display and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series chipset. The phone could also feature a 200-megapixel main camera and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, while skipping a periscope camera. A built-in fan and liquid cooling system are also expected, though these specifications remain unconfirmed.
