iQOO 16R or 16s Receives Certification for Launch in India

The iQOO 16R or 16s is reportedly on its way to India, following its recent certification by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) with the model number I2606.

This model number has been linked to the iQOO 16R previously and more recently to the iQOO 16s, which was certified in Malaysia. However, the BIS certification does not specify a commercial name, leaving uncertainty about whether the device will be marketed as the iQOO 16R or 16s in India.

Regardless of the name, this device is believed to be a rebranded version of the iQOO Z12 Turbo for the Chinese market. If the leaks regarding the Z12 Turbo are accurate, the iQOO 16R and 16s are expected to feature a 6.59-inch display with a refresh rate of at least 165Hz, powered by either the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Pro SoC. Additionally, it may include an active cooling fan.
