iQOO recently introduced the iQOO Z11 Lite and iQOO Z11 in India, while its Chinese lineup includes the iQOO Z11S and Neo 11 Ultra. The company is also reportedly working on the iQOO 16 and Neo 12. Now, the iQOO 16R and iQOO Z12 Lite have joined the list of upcoming devices after appearing in the GSMA IMEI database.
The iQOO Z12 Lite carries the model number I2603, while the iQOO 16R is listed with model number I2606. The 16R has reportedly made its first appearance in the database, whereas the Z12 Lite had already been spotted on the EEC certification platform earlier this year.
There is currently no information available about the specifications of the iQOO Z12 Lite. However, the iQOO 16R could be related to the iQOO 16T, which is expected to be launched in China.
According to early reports, the iQOO 16R could feature a 2K Samsung OLED display and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series chipset. The smartphone is also tipped to come with a 200-megapixel primary camera and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. It may not include a periscope telephoto camera, potentially because the device is expected to focus more on performance.
The iQOO 16R is also rumoured to feature a built-in fan paired with liquid cooling for thermal management.
At present, details related to the upcoming iQOO Z12 Lite remain limited. We can, however, expect more certification appearances or leaks in the coming weeks to reveal more information.
Vivo X500 FE Spotted in IMEI Database
The Vivo X500 FE has now also been spotted in the database with two model numbers, V2653 and V2654, which are likely meant for different markets.
Vivo is preparing to launch the Vivo X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max in China later this month. However, the company also appears to be developing global versions of the X500 series. The Vivo X500e, X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max have already appeared in the IMEI database with model numbers V2632, V2619, V2621 and V2610, respectively.
Meanwhile, the V2653 model has also appeared in Europe’s EEC database.
The global versions of the Vivo X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max could retain the same specifications as their Chinese counterparts. However, there is currently no information about the specifications of either the Vivo X500e or the newly spotted X500 FE.
Vivo Y32 5G and T6 Lite 5G Also in Development
The IMEI database has also revealed two more upcoming Vivo smartphones. The Vivo Y32 5G has appeared with model number V2639, while the Vivo T6 Lite 5G carries model number V2647.
At present, no additional specifications or other details about the Vivo Y32 5G and T6 Lite 5G have surfaced. More information about these upcoming iQOO and Vivo smartphones is expected to emerge as they move closer to their respective launches.
