However, smartphone identity has not been same in all certification platforms. While the SDPPI and SIRIM listings associate the model number with the iQOO 16s name, an earlier IMEI database entry reportedly identified the same device as the iQOO 16R.

iQOO 16s is reportedly linked to the iQOO 16R, which is expected to be a rebranded version of the upcoming iQOO Z12 Turbo. If these reports turn out to be true, iQOO 16s could share several specifications with the iQOO 16R and the rumoured Z12 Turbo.
The smartphone is expected to feature a 6.59-inch OLED panel with 1.5K resolution and a high refresh rate. It is tipped to feature Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 chipset and may also pack a massive 10,000mAh battery.
For photography, it is expected to feature a dual rear-camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor. On the front, it could include a 32-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.
However, it is important to note that these specs are currently unconfirmed and are based on the possible rumours of a connection between the iQOO 16s, iQOO 16R and iQOO Z12 Turbo.
