Stunning Display
The iQOO 16 features a 6.85-inch Samsung-made M16 AMOLED display, boasting a resolution of 1440x3168 pixels. The display offers a 19.8:9 aspect ratio and an incredibly smooth refresh rate of 165Hz. Users can enjoy a peak brightness of 10,000 nits for localized content and an impressive 2,800 nits for full-screen visibility, making it one of the brightest screens available on a smartphone today.
Powerful Performance
At the heart of the iQOO 16 is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor, which is paired with LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage options. This powerful combination ensures that the device can handle demanding applications and multitasking with ease.
Advanced Camera System
The rear of the iQOO 16 is equipped with a triple camera setup, led by a 50MP main sensor that includes Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). It also features a 50MP ultrawide camera with autofocus and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, providing 3x optical zoom and 6x lossless zoom capabilities, along with up to 100x digital zoom.

It also includes an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner for quick and secure access.
