iQOO 16 Indian Variant Spotted on Geekbench Website

The iQOO 16 was spotted by tipster Abhishek Yadav on the benchmarking website. The phone is listed as the ‘vivo I2607', which, according to the tipster, is the global variant of the iQOO 16.

According to the Geekbench listing, it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset (SM8975) with 2 x 5.01GHz cores, 3 x 4.03GHz cores, and 3 x 3.74GHz cores. The listing revealed an Adreno 850 GPU for graphics.

The device benchmarked for this test had 12GB of RAM and ran Android 17. The iQOO 16 global variant scored 2,944 points in single-core and 10,029 points in multi-core on Geekbench V7.

The tipster pointed out that since the firmware version carries the ‘EX' tag, the India launch may be near, as the test phone had the global ROM variant.

As mentioned earlier, iQOO hasn't revealed details about a global launch yet. iQOO launched the iQOO 16 in China in four variants: 12+256GB, 12+512GB, 16+512GB, 16GB+1TB. The phones were priced between CNY 5,999 (roughly Rs. 86,000) and CNY 8,499 (roughly Rs. 1,21,000), respectively.

The phone features a 6.85-inch 2K AMOLED display, which is also Samsung's first M16 luminescent panel, with a refresh rate up to 165Hz. The Chinese variant uses the same chipset as the global variant (mentioned above) and pairs it with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. As a performance-oriented device, the phone features a large 8,500 sq mm vapour chamber cooling system. It also has an IP68 + IP69 rating for dust and water resistance. There's a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera on the rear. The selfie camera has a 32-megapixel sensor.
