Back in June, the first details of the iQOO 16T emerged. At that time, the leak revealed that it would be a large-screen device. Now, a new leak courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed a few more details about the device.

iQOO 16T’s key specifications tipped

The latest leak suggests that iQOO has started testing the iQOO 16T. According to the tipster, the prototype is powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming SM8950 flagship chipset, which is expected to be the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. At the same time, a Dimensity 9600 (DX6) variant is also being evaluated as an alternative.

The device is said to feature a built-in large cooling fan for improved thermal performance and is currently being tested with a 2K flat Samsung display. While the specifications may change before launch, the leak indicates that iQOO is focusing on flagship-level performance and advanced cooling for the upcoming 16T.

The iQOO 16T will succeed the iQOO 15T, which debuted in May 2026. At present, there is no information about the 16T’s launch timeframe. It remains to be seen whether iQOO is aiming to unveil it in May 2027 or earlier.

The iQOO 15T features a 6.82-inch AMOLED LTPO display with a 2K+ resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. Under the hood, it has the Dimensity 9500 Monster chip, up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, and a massive 8,000mAh battery with 100W charging.

The 15T runs OriginOS 6 based on Android 16 and features a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. On the back, it has a 200-megapixel primary camera with OIS and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The device has a metal frame and carries an IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance.

iQOO has a couple of new flagship phones lined up for the Chinese market. Next month, the brand is expected to unveil the iQOO Neo 11S powered by the Dimensity 9500. In September or October, the brand may introduce the iQOO 16 and iQOO Neo 12. Now, a new leak suggests that the iQOO 16T is also in the works.

iQOO 16T’s existence revealed

According to the tipster, iQOO will continue its T-series lineup with a new generation of smartphones. The tipster claims that the upcoming iQOO 16T series has entered the development stage and will continue to focus on large-display devices, suggesting that the brand will stick to its big-screen positioning for the next iteration.

To recall, the iQOO 15T was initially believed to be a compact flagship that would rival the OnePlus 15T, which also features a compact design. However, it launched with a large 6.82-inch AMOLED display. The latest leak claims that the iQOO 16T will continue to feature a large display like its predecessor.

Reports have revealed that the iQOO 16 will feature a 6.85-inch Samsung AMOLED display with a 2K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. The Neo 12, which is expected to debut alongside the iQOO 16, is said to feature a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with the same resolution.

To recall, the iQOO 15T and Neo 11 feature the same 6.82-inch BOE Q10+ AMOLED display with a 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Therefore, it is likely that the iQOO 16T may inherit the iQOO Neo 12’s display panel. At present, there is no information available about the other specifications of the iQOO 16T. Hopefully, upcoming reports will reveal more details about it.
