The iQOO 16R has received its first certification in Indonesia's TKDN database, confirming the branding and 5G support. The model number I2606 was previously spotted in the GSM Association's IMEI database in early September. Based on the Z12 Turbo leaks, the device is expected to feature a 6.59-inch screen with an ultra-high refresh rate and will likely be powered by either the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Pro chipset. iQOO is allegedly evaluating an active cooling fan for the handset.
A tipster claimed in July that the company's next performance phones are being tested with batteries of up to around 10,000 mAh, a significant jump from the 15R's 7,600 mAh. The Z11 Turbo launched in China in January, with the 15R following in February, suggesting successors could be official in early 2027. The iQOO 15R is currently available with 256GB 8GB RAM priced at ₹ 53,999 and 256GB 12GB RAM at ₹ 59,999.
