Summary
iQOO’s official China product page details the iQOO 16, including its 8,400mAh typical-capacity battery, 2K 165Hz display and gaming-focused hardware. The page also lists 100W wired and 40W wireless charging.
iQOO’s official Chinese product page details the iQOO 16 as a gaming-focused phone with an 8,400mAh typical-capacity battery, a 2K 165Hz display and hardware features aimed at high-frame-rate mobile games. The page includes a “buy now” option, but does not list a price in the supplied material.
A high-refresh display and gaming hardware
The phone has a 6.85-inch display with 2K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. A higher refresh rate allows the screen to update more often, which can make supported games and scrolling appear smoother. iQOO identifies the panel as using Samsung M16 emissive material and its 2K LEAD 2.0 display technology. The company says this display technology uses 31% less power than a 1.5K panel; that comparison is attributed to vivo laboratory data.
The page names the processor as the sixth-generation Snapdragon 8 Super Supreme Edition. iQOO says it uses a 2nm process, reaches a CPU clock speed of up to 5GHz and improves CPU energy efficiency by 37% compared with the fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 flagship platform. Those figures are manufacturer claims, rather than measurements from independent testing.
A separate iQOO Q4 gaming chip is listed alongside the main processor. The company reports 15% higher performance, 19% faster cache and 19% greater AI computing power than its Q3 predecessor. The page also advertises 165-frame-per-second modes and combinations of 2K rendering with 165 FPS for supported games. Game compatibility varies, and some features require software updates or particular settings.
Battery, charging and cameras
The battery’s typical capacity is 8,400mAh, with a rated capacity of 8,170mAh. iQOO lists 100W wired charging and 40W wireless charging; the latter requires a compatible charging kit. The product page also describes a silicon-anode battery and gives an energy density of 908Wh/L.
For photography, the phone has a 50-megapixel main camera with a 1/1.3-inch sensor, a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3× optical zoom, and a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera. These specifications make the device more than a gaming-screen upgrade, while the page’s emphasis remains on sustained gaming performance, display speed and battery capacity.
The listed figures describe the China-market model on vivo’s official product page. Performance, charging and battery-life results can vary with software, settings and use; iQOO’s page notes that its laboratory figures may differ from real-world results.
