According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the upcoming i QOO Z12 Turbo will feature a 6.59-inch "ultra-high refresh rate" display and be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Pro chipset. The device is expected to be rebranded as the i QOO 16R for international markets, following the pattern of the Z11 Turbo, which launched globally as the i QOO 15R. If the rumors hold, the successor will retain the same screen size but increase the refresh rate to at least 165Hz, up from the 144Hz on the current model. i QOO is also reportedly evaluating the inclusion of an active cooling fan in the Z12 Turbo / 16R to manage thermal performance during intensive use.
The leak suggests a continued focus on high-performance gaming and display technology in the mid-to-high-end segment. Official confirmation is pending, but the details align with i QOO’s strategy of aggressively spec’d devices for enthusiasts. Further updates are expected as more information becomes available from reliable sources.
