iQOO 16, iQOO Neo 12, and iQOO Z12 Turbo are expected to feature significantly larger batteries, as per a new leak by reliable tipster Digital Chat Station. To recall, he recently shared the key specifications of the upcoming iQOO 16, including its battery size. Now, in a new leak, the same source has revealed the battery capacities of two other iQOO flagship offerings, suggesting that the brand is preparing a major leap in battery capacity across its flagship and performance-focused lineup.

iQOO 16, Neo 12, and Z12 Turbo battery details tipped

According to the tipster, the iQOO 16, which is expected to be powered by the forthcoming 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, is currently being tested with an 8,500mAh battery. The engineering prototype is also said to support 100W fast charging along with wireless charging.

The leak further claims that iQOO’s next-generation 3nm performance lineup, believed to include the iQOO Neo 12 and iQOO Z12 Turbo, is testing even larger batteries. One prototype reportedly packs a 9,000mAh battery, while another is equipped with a high-silicon single-cell 10,000mAh battery.

As per previous reports, the iQOO Neo 12 will feature a 6.83-inch flat OLED panel with a 2K resolution and a 185Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it is expected to have the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and a dedicated graphics chip for enhanced gaming. The device is also expected to support 100W charging. Other rumored features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor and top-tier water resistance.

At present, there is no concrete information about the iQOO Z12 Turbo’s specifications. Considering that its predecessor featured the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, it is likely that the Z12 Turbo may come equipped with the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 6, which is believed to be a 3nm chip.

The post iQOO Z12 Turbo, iQOO Neo 12, iQOO 16 tipped to pack massive batteries appeared first on Gizmochina.

Tipster Digital Chat Station has shared new details about iQOO 16 in a fresh leak this morning. According to the tipster’s latest Weibo post, an engineering sample built around the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset is currently being tested with high-end symmetrical dual speakers from the 1115 series.

Alongside the speaker setup, the same prototype is said to include a 0916 series X-axis linear motor for more precise haptic feedback, a dedicated graphics chip to boost gaming performance, and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for biometrics.

The device is also tipped to carry IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, USB 3.2 support, and an AR film layer on the display. Likewise, an OV50Q sensor will power the main camera.

iQOO 16 to feature 8500mAh battery

Interestingly, the tipster’s comment section added a few more clues. When asked whether iQOO 16 will house a squarish, quadrangular camera module, Digital Chat Station gave a noncommittal answer. On battery capacity, though, the tipster more or less confirmed the phone will house an 8,500mAh cell.

This isn’t the first time the 8,500mAh figure and symmetrical speaker setup have come up. As we reported last month, the same battery capacity and flagship-grade speaker configuration were tipped alongside a 2K flat display featuring a new customized panel material and an ultra-high refresh rate meant to improve gaming and multimedia performance. 

Separately, another leak had suggested the iQOO 16 Ultra variant may be skipped this generation due to rising memory costs, leaving the standard model as the star of the lineup.

While the post doesn’t name the phone directly, the hints and the ongoing comment thread suggest it’s likely the iQOO 16. This tracks with what has already surfaced about the device, including its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, 2K flat display, and flagship-grade symmetrical speakers.

The post iQOO 16 tipped with dual speakers, X-axis motor, and 8,500mAh battery in fresh leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is expected to unveil the Vivo X500 series of flagship phones in September this year. Therefore, with just a few months remaining before the launch, the X500 series models are expected to appear on different certification platforms. In a new development, two upcoming Vivo smartphones, believed to be next-generation flagship offerings, have received the radio certification in China.

Upcoming Vivo flagships receive radio certification

The above image shows that new Vivo-branded smartphones carrying the model numbers V2606A and V2609A have emerged in China’s SRRC certification database. Both devices reportedly support the n79 5G band and are said to feature ultra-high refresh rate displays, suggesting they are positioned in the premium segment.

These devices are likely to be part of the upcoming Vivo X500 series or the iQOO 16 lineup. However, it is advisable to wait for further reports to confirm their final marketing names. With this early certification, it appears that these devices could go official in September in China.

The Vivo X500 series is expected to include multiple models, such as the X500e, X500, X500 Pro, X500 Pro Max, and X500 Ultra. Among these, the X500e and X500 Ultra may launch in the first half of 2026, while the remaining models could break cover in September.

The global version of the X500 Pro Max was recently spotted on Indonesia’s TKDN certification platform, suggesting that its global launch may not be far away. The other X500 models have not appeared on any global certification platforms yet.

On the other hand, while the global version of the iQOO 16 was previously spotted with the model number I2601 in the IMEI database, a recent report claimed that iQOO may skip the device’s India launch this year. It is still too early to speculate, and more concrete evidence should emerge in the coming weeks.

The post Alleged Vivo X500, iQOO 16 bag first certification ahead of rumored September launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

The rumor mill has been actively leaking details about the iQOO 16, which is expected to break cover in October this year in China. iQOO usually follows a pattern of first announcing its phones in China and then bringing them to other markets, including India. However, a new development suggests that the iQOO 16 may not launch in India this year.

iQOO may launch only one phone in India in H2 2026

According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the iQOO 16 may not launch in India because rising memory prices could push its expected price beyond Rs 85,000 (~$890), making it difficult to position competitively.

He also claims that iQOO has only one budget Z-series phone planned for India this year, while all of its other products have reportedly been scrapped for the market. These claims are based on the tipster’s information, and iQOO has not officially confirmed them.

iQOO has already confirmed that it will skip launching a Neo-series phone this year. Back in May, the iQOO Z10 Lite was spotted on Geekbench, and more recently, a device believed to be the iQOO Z11 appeared on the same benchmarking platform. In all likelihood, the Z-series phone the tipster is referring to could be the Z11.

Later this month, iQOO will unveil the iQOO 15T flagship phone equipped with a 2K OLED panel, a Dimensity 9500 chip, and an 8,000mAh battery. In October, iQOO is expected to take the wraps off the iQOO 16. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station, has revealed the camera capabilities of the next-generation flagship.

iQOO 16 camera details tipped

It was reported last month that iQOO has yet to finalize the iQOO 16’s primary camera and is currently AB testing 200-megapixel and 50-megapixel options. In today’s leak, the tipster stated that the engineering prototype of the device is equipped with a 50-megapixel primary camera featuring a large 1/1.3-inch sensor, paired with a periscope telephoto camera that uses a medium-sized sensor.

The tipster did not mention anything about the iQOO 16’s ultra-wide camera. However, it appears that the device may continue to feature triple 50-megapixel cameras on the back.

The post iQOO 16 primary, periscope telephoto camera details leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier today, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station shared a Weibo post revealing the key specifications of what appears to be the iQOO 16. Now, a new leak has surfaced, revealing the first details about the iQOO 16 Ultra.

iQOO 16 Ultra’s first details emerge

According to tipster Smart Pikachu, iQOO is expected to follow a dual-variant strategy, including a standard version and a gaming-focused variant. The latter is likely to debut as the iQOO 16 Ultra and could feature a built-in cooling fan, aimed at enhancing sustained performance during gaming. The leak also hints that new gaming accessories are currently in development, further strengthening the brand’s focus on performance-centric devices.

To recall, the iQOO 15 and iQOO 15 Ultra offered largely similar specifications, with the Ultra variant differentiating itself through a larger battery and a gaming-oriented design, including an integrated fan. There is a strong possibility that iQOO could follow a similar approach with the iQOO 16 and 16 Ultra, reserving the more aggressive gaming features for the Ultra model.

iQOO 16 specifications (rumored)

As per Digital Chat Station, the iQOO 16 is expected to feature a 6.85-inch flat display supplied by Samsung Display, possibly using a power-efficient Pol-less panel. The screen is being tested with a 165Hz refresh rate and is likely to support 2K resolution, indicating a strong emphasis on high-performance visuals.

On the performance side, the device is tipped to be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro (SM8975) chipset. This next-generation processor is expected to deliver significant improvements in both efficiency and gaming capabilities.

For photography, prototype units are said to include a periscope telephoto camera, while the primary camera is currently under evaluation between a 200-megapixel sensor and a 50-megapixel sensor, with the possibility of a larger sensor size. The setup may also include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.

Notably, the upcoming OnePlus 16 is expected to be a key rival, with similar specifications such as a 165Hz 1.5K OLED panel, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, and a 200-megapixel triple camera system. Both devices are expected to debut in China around October.

The post iQOO 16 Ultra leak reveals built-in cooling fan, new gaming accessories in the works appeared first on Gizmochina.

The upcoming iQOO 16 has been rumored to feature a 165Hz or even 185Hz refresh rate. A new report might finally settle that debate.

Fresh details from a reliable tipster, Digital Chat Station, reveal a handful of specifics around the phone’s chipset, display, and camera setup. And things are still being decided. 

According to the leak, the iQOO 16 could be powered by Qualcomm’s SM8975 chip, which is expected to debut as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. It aligns with earlier reports suggesting the device will land as the top model in iQOO’s lineup, likely launching in China later this year.

iQOO 16 Specifications

Up front, the phone is said to feature a 6.85-inch 2K display with a flat panel. The screen is described as an SDC “Pol-less” panel, shorthand for Samsung Display’s newer tech that replaces the traditional polarizer layer with a color filter structure to boost brightness while improving power efficiency.

As for that refresh rate? The tipster pins it at 165Hz, not the previously rumored 185Hz. That’s still a step up from the 144Hz panel on the iQOO 15, and likely more than enough for even the most demanding mobile gamers.

The camera story, however, seems a bit less settled. The latest leak suggests the current engineering unit includes a mid-range periscope telephoto camera, rather than a top-tier zoom system.

There’s also some indecision around the main shooter. iQOO is reportedly testing two configurations: one featuring a 200-megapixel sensor, and another pairing a 50-megapixel sensor with a larger physical size. 

As usual, it’s unclear which direction will make the cut for the final hardware. The trade-off between resolution and sensor size suggests iQOO is still fine-tuning its priorities.

The post iQOO 16 settles with 165Hz screen, 200MP or 50MP main camera still undecided appeared first on Gizmochina.

A recent report revealed that the iQOO 16 moniker has appeared in the IMEI database. While it is expected to launch in October this year, the rumor mill has already started revealing its key specifications. A new Weibo post by reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed the chipset that will power the device.

iQOO 16’s chipset revealed

Reports have revealed that Qualcomm’s next-generation 2nm chip will arrive in two versions. While the official monikers are yet to be confirmed, these chipsets are tentatively dubbed the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 (SM8950) and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro (SM8975), respectively.

As mentioned above, DCS claims that the iQOO 16 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. The tipster also suggests that the device will feature a 2K Samsung display with a flat design and a very high refresh rate. A recent report revealed that the screen may support a 165Hz or 185Hz refresh rate.

The rest of the iQOO 16’s specifications are also expected to be powerful, according to the tipster, but they remain under wraps. Since it is expected to debut later this year, it may come preloaded with OriginOS 7 based on Android 17.

The same source recently revealed that its rear camera setup will be headlined by a 200-megapixel main camera. This sensor will be joined by a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.

Its base model is expected to feature a 12GB + 256GB configuration. With the rise in memory costs, this variant could be priced at 5,000 Yuan, which is approximately $730.

In related news, iQOO is expected to launch the iQOO 15T by mid-2026 in China. One of the major highlights of this phone is that it may come equipped with a built-in cooling fan.

The post iQOO 16 tipped to feature Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, set to rival OnePlus 16 appeared first on Gizmochina.

New phones don’t always show up with a launch teaser first. Quite often, they quietly appear in certification databases, and that seems to be the case with the iQOO 16 and Vivo V80, both of which have now been listed in the GSMA IMEI database, courtesy of Smartprix.

It usually means the devices are past the early stages and moving closer to testing or certification. So while nothing is official yet, it’s a decent sign that both phones are getting closer to launch.

The iQOO 16 is expected to succeed the iQOO 15 (our review), which was very much focused on performance. That’s kind of been iQOO’s approach for a while now: capable chips, aggressive cooling, and charging speeds that are usually higher than rivals. There’s no confirmation on specs yet, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the new model follows the same pattern, just with newer hardware and maybe some tweaks to thermals.

The Vivo V80 should be a bit different in comparison. The V series has always leaned more toward design and camera features rather than raw power. Based on previous models, things like the “Aura Light” and portrait-focused imaging will likely return. It’ll probably use an upper mid-range Snapdragon or Dimensity chip, something that keeps things smooth without pushing too hard on performance.

From here, the next step is typically regional certifications, and that’s when more concrete details start showing up.

For now, there’s not much confirmed, but the overall direction feels familiar. The iQOO 16 will likely aim at performance-heavy users, while the Vivo V80 sticks to cameras and design. Nothing unexpected, but still worth keeping an eye on as more information comes in.

The post iQOO 16, Vivo V80 spotted on IMEI database appeared first on Gizmochina.

The rumor mill is gradually leaking details about the iQOO 16, which is expected to launch in October this year in China. One of the major highlights of the iQOO 15 is that it features a Samsung M14 OLED panel, which has a 6.85-inch screen size with 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Reports have suggested that the iQOO 16 will arrive with an upgraded display, and now, in a new Weibo post, tipster Smart Pikachu has revealed some details about it.

iQOO 16’s display details tipped

The above post by tipster Smart Pikachu indicates that iQOO could be among the first brands to test Samsung’s upcoming 2K display panels featuring 165Hz and 185Hz refresh rates, with the hashtag suggesting a possible link to the iQOO 16.

The tipster notes that 165Hz is just the beginning, as the supply chain is also preparing native 185Hz panels from Samsung, while game ecosystems are already being adapted to support such high refresh rates.

The increase in refresh rate will allow the iQOO 16 to take on the OnePlus 16, which is said to be its closest rival that’s rumored to feature a 200Hz or 240Hz screen. While the OnePlus 16 may continue to support a 1.5K resolution, the iQOO 16’s screen may offer 2K resolution like its previous generation.

Another major upgrade for the iQOO 16 is in the camera department. The same tipster revealed earlier this month that it may feature a 200-megapixel primary camera and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. This setup is also expected to include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens.

The details about its battery size, charging capabilities, and memory configurations are not known yet. In all likelihood, it will draw power from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip. Due to the recent hike in memory chip prices, the iQOO 16 may start at 5,000 Yuan (~$725) for the base variant, which may offer a 12GB+256GB configuration.

The post iQOO 16 tipped to debut Samsung’s insane 185Hz display upgrade appeared first on Gizmochina.

The iQOO 16 may be starting to surface in the rumor mill. Last week, we reported that the device could launch at a higher price than its predecessor. Now, a new report from China suggests the upcoming flagship might also get a camera upgrade on the back.

According to tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo, the iQOO 16 is currently being tested with a 200-megapixel main camera. For comparison, the iQOO 15 features a 50-megapixel primary sensor. The upcoming phone is still said to retain a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, similar to its predecessor.

The tipster also claims that only the iQOO 16 is currently in testing, while the successor to the iQOO 15 Ultra has yet to appear in testing.

OnePlus 16 could also get a 200MP main lens

Interestingly, the same tipster says the OnePlus 16 could feature a similar camera setup. That is, a 200-megapixel main sensor paired with a 50-megapixel periscope lens. The OnePlus 15, by comparison, uses 50-megapixel sensors for both its main and periscope cameras.

Back to the iQOO 16, the phone is also tipped to upgrade its display resolution from 1.5K to 2K.

There’s currently no word on the rest of the phone’s specifications. As a performance-focused flagship, however, it could feature the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processor along with a large battery.

As we mentioned earlier, a price increase also seems plausible. A previous report suggests that upcoming flagship phones that will use 2nm chips could start at around 5,000 yuan (roughly $725). 

Since the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 is rumored to be built on a 2nm process, the iQOO 16 could fall into that category. For comparison, the iQOO 15 launched at 4,199 yuan.

For now, we’ll have to wait for more leaks to shed light on the iQOO 16’s internals.

The post The iQOO 16 and OnePlus 16 could both jump to 200MP main cameras appeared first on Gizmochina.

In October 2025, Vivo unveiled the Vivo X300 series, whereas its sub-brand iQOO announced the iQOO 15. It is likely that both companies will apply the same strategy for the next-generation flagships. While the rumor mill has already leaked a few details about the upcoming Vivo X500 series, details about the iQOO 16 have also started surfacing. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Smart Pikachu, has revealed a key detail about the iQOO 16’s display.

iQOO 16 to feature 2K display

According to the tipster, while most next-generation flagships are shifting to 1.5K displays, Vivo is reportedly testing two upcoming phones with 2K screens.

The iQOO 16 hashtag used in the Weibo post suggests that it could retain a higher-resolution 2K display instead of moving to the 1.5K panels many competitors are adopting.

While he has not mentioned the X500 series, a previous leak suggests that the entire lineup would feature 2K resolution displays.

The OnePlus 16 is expected to be one of the major rivals for the iQOO 16. This device is likely to retain the 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate that were introduced on the OnePlus 15. Some unconfirmed reports suggest that the iQOO 16’s display refresh rate may upgrade to 165Hz.

At present, there is no information about the iQOO 16’s other specifications. Being a performance-focused flagship, it may feature the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset and a massive battery. Hopefully, upcoming reports will shed more details about the iQOO 16’s innards.

The post iQOO 16 tipped to retain 2K display while rivals shift to 1.5K panels appeared first on Gizmochina.

We have already heard a few early rumors about the Vivo X500 series. For instance, the flagship lineup is expected to pack a massive 7,000mAh battery. A new claim now suggests Vivo is also going all-in on high-resolution displays.

According to prominent tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Vivo has decided to make 2K resolution standard across its flagship phones. The leaker says the company is “going all in on 2K resolution.” As a result, Vivo’s upcoming flagships will likely all have 2K flat screens.

The possibility extends to the iQOO 16 as well, as it is also a flagship device from the company’s sub-brand.

Another well-known leaker, Panda is Bald, has echoed the same claim, lending some additional weight to the rumor. They also expand the discussion to other manufacturers’ upcoming devices.

According to the tipster, Oppo’s Find X10 series will feature a 200-megapixel camera, while Honor is reportedly planning to equip its mid-range phones with enormous 10,000mAh batteries. 

Huawei, meanwhile, is said to be exploring new foldable screen designs, and Xiaomi’s upcoming 18 series is reportedly focusing on advancements in camera technology.

All the flagship phones are expected to use a new mobile processor based on the 2nm process. Xiaomi is likely to stick with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips, while both Vivo and Oppo are expected to use MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9600.

A previous report suggests that at least one of those two brands will launch its flagship early in September. MediaTek is also rumored to unveil the Dimensity 9600 earlier than usual, which could allow manufacturers to ship devices powered by the chip sooner.

At present, it is too early to talk in detail about the X500 series, as the company has several new phones lined up for launch in China in the coming months. As such, take these details with a pinch of salt, as things could change late in development.
