Recent leaks suggest the i QOO 16 will launch this month, featuring a redesigned square-shaped rear camera module with large rounded corners. Tipster Digital Chat Station shared an image allegedly showing the new module, which houses three cameras in a connected layout. The module features a textured finish and detailing around the frame. Additionally, i QOO 16 is said to use a newly developed manufacturing process for its rear panel, creating a distinctive pattern.

Separate rumors indicate the upcoming flagship will be powered by an Extreme version of the soon-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. The handset is also expected to offer a 50MP primary rear camera and a massive 8,500mAh battery. These specifications position the device as a high-performance competitor in the premium smartphone market.
