The iQOO 16 flagship smartphone features a holographic back panel in the Chasing Light colorway. The design utilizes a laser holographic visualization technology that creates a 3D light effect, shifting between red patterns and blue lines based on the viewing angle. The device will also be available in Track and Legend versions.
The camera module design is inspired by a spaceship porthole, featuring three cameras connected by a mechanical element over a hexagonal pattern. The smartphone is expected to be among the first to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro platform, which is reportedly manufactured using a 2nm TSMC process.
The device is equipped with a 6.85-inch 2K display featuring a 165Hz refresh rate and the new Samsung M16 luminescent material. The hardware includes an 8400 mAh battery, a dedicated Q4 gaming chip, and up to 16 GB of RAM with 1 TB of storage.
The camera system consists of three 50 MP sensors, including a main sensor with a 1/1.3-inch size, an ultra-wide-angle lens, and a periscope lens. The smartphone is expected to support IP68 and IP69 ingress protection ratings.
