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

\"\"iQOO 16 Ultra\u2019s first details emerge<\/p>\n

According to tipster Smart Pikachu, iQOO<\/a> 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\u2019s focus on performance-centric devices.<\/p>\n

To recall, the iQOO 15<\/a> and iQOO 15 Ultra<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

iQOO 16 specifications (rumored)<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

Notably, the upcoming OnePlus 16<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n
