iQOO 16 renders reveal a bold new rear design

The leaked renders show the iQOO 16 with a large square camera module featuring heavily rounded corners. Three rear cameras are arranged in a connected layout, giving the module a futuristic, almost UFO-like appearance.

The black variant features blue accent lighting around parts of the camera island and the lower section, adding to its gaming-focused look. The frame also appears to have rounded edges, which could make the phone more comfortable to hold during extended gaming sessions.

The other render showcases what appears to be a white variant of the device. However, the exact source of these images is currently unknown, so the design should be treated as unconfirmed for now.

iQOO 16 specifications (rumoured)

Previous leaks suggest the iQOO 16 could feature three 50-megapixel rear cameras. The primary sensor is tipped to measure 1/1.3-inch and could have an f/1.68 aperture, while the other two cameras are expected to include an ultrawide and periscope telephoto sensor.

On the front, the phone is rumoured to feature a 6.85-inch Samsung-made flat 2K display with a 165Hz refresh rate. Other expected specifications include the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, an 8,500mAh battery, 100W wired charging, wireless charging, a dedicated display chip, a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, USB 3.2, dual speakers and IP68/IP69 ratings.

Meanwhile, iQOO has also started teasing its compact tablet, which is expected to feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series chipset. Both devices are expected to launch in China either by the end of this month or in early October.
