iQOO 16 is the brand’s upcoming flagship smartphone, and it’s expected to launch later this year in September or October. The smartphone has been appearing in leaks and rumours too, giving us an idea of what to expect from the flagship. A new leak reveals more about the iQOO 16’s display and chipset specifications.

iQOO 16 display and chipset specifications
Tipster Digital Chat Station has shared details about a new flagship phone, believed to be the iQOO 16. According to the post, the iQOO 16 is tipped to feature a large 6.85-inch 2K Samsung flat display with a 165Hz refresh rate. This would be an upgrade over the iQOO 15’s 144Hz refresh rate, which should mean smoother frame rates and animations. The iQOO 16 is also expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, an upcoming flagship chipset.

The iQOO 16 is also said to go through a design change, if the post turns out to be accurate. The smartphone will retain its flat design with small corners, but the rear camera design could change into a small square shape in the upper-left corner. The iQOO 15 also features a square-shaped camera module, but it could be a smaller one on the iQOO 16. This might give way to a more minimalist and cleaner look on the upcoming iQOO flagship.
There have been previous leaks about the iQOO 16 too. It’s expected to house an 8,500mAh battery with 100W charging support. This would be a significant upgrade over the iQOO 15’s 7,000mAh battery, suggesting longer endurance for gamers and power users. The move to a 165Hz display and an 8,500mAh battery reflects a broader industry push for extreme performance and endurance, particularly in the flagship segment.
Based on the leaks so far, the iQOO 16 appears to bring upgrades over its predecessor. That way, the iQOO 16 could make sense for people looking for a flagship for performance, battery life, and a vibrant display. It might be more appealing to those who are moving from an older flagship rather than iQOO 15 users, as this phone is still one of the top Android performers in the flagship segment. We should still wait for official details as there’s a lot of time until the phone debuts.
