iQOO 16 Global/India Variant Spotted on Geekbench With Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, 12GB RAM

iQOO 16 Global/India Variant Spotted on Geekbench

Highlights

  • iQOO 16 global/India variant spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, Adreno 850 GPU, 12GB RAM, and Android 17.
  • The phone with model number Vivo I2607 scored 2,944 single-core and 10,029 multi-core.
  • It is expected to launch in India sometime in coming weeks and is tipped to be priced around Rs 1,00,000, with specs including 6.85″ 2K+ 165Hz AMOLED, 8,400mAh battery, 100W charging, and triple 50MP cameras.

The iQOO 16, which was launched in China last month, is now reportedly getting ready to enter markets outside China in the coming weeks. Tipster Abhishek Yadav has shared a Geekbench listing that is claimed to be the global/India variant of the iQOO 16.

The listing reveals a 12GB RAM configuration, Android 17 and impressive benchmark numbers. It also points to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, suggesting that the global version could retain the flagship performance hardware seen on the China model.

iQOO 16 Geekbench Score

The Geekbench listing identifies the smartphone with the model number vivo I2607. It scored 2,944 points in the single-core test and 10,029 points in the multi-core test.

The listed device has 12GB of RAM and runs Android 17. The benchmark also mentions an Adreno 850 GPU.

iQOO 16 Geekbench Details

Model Vivo I2607
Single-Core Score 2,944
Multi-Core Score 10,029
RAM 12GB
OS Android 17
GPU Adreno 850
Chipset Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6

Why Does This Configuration Point to the Extreme Gen 6?

The Geekbench listing is particularly interesting because of the CPU configuration. It mentions the SM8975 platform with a setup consisting of 2 cores clocked at 5.01GHz, 3 cores at 4.03GHz and 3 cores at 3.74GHz, along with the Adreno 850 GPU.

This configuration matches earlier iQOO 16 Geekbench listings that also showed the SM8975 platform and similar 5.01GHz, 4.03GHz and 3.74GHz clock speeds. This is why the listing is being linked to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6.

What Does the 10,029 Geekbench Score Mean?

The iQOO 16’s 10,029 multi-core score indicates that the phone is capable of delivering strong performance when handling multiple tasks at the same time. Its 2,944 single-core score also points to powerful performance for everyday tasks and applications that depend more heavily on individual CPU cores.

However, Geekbench scores are benchmark results and do not by themselves represent complete real-world performance.

iQOO 16 India/Global Launch

The Geekbench appearance suggests that the iQOO 16 global or India variant could be getting closer to launch. The phone has already been introduced in China, and the global model is reportedly expected to reach markets outside China in the coming weeks. Recently, a well-known Indian tipster claimed that the iQOO 16 is currently being tested in India.

The Geekbench listing gives some indication that an India/global version is in development, but iQOO has not yet officially confirmed the India launch date.

iQOO 16 India Price and Availability

The iQOO 16 is expected to launch in India in the coming weeks but its final Indian price is not known yet. In China, the smartphone starts at CNY 5,999, which is approximately ₹86,000 or $894 based on the provided conversion.

However, a tipster has reportedly suggested that the iQOO 16 could be priced closer to Rs 1,00,000 ($1,039) in India. If this pricing turns out to be accurate, the phone could face a tough comparison with its predecessor iQOO 15, which started at Rs 72,999 in India.

At the same time, the iQOO 16 is expected to offer flagship-level hardware including a 2K+ 165Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, 8,400mAh battery, 100W charging and a 50MP periscope camera.

iQOO 16.

iQOO 16 Expected Specifications

The iQOO 16 global model is expected to retain many of the specifications of the China version.

The phone features a 6.85-inch 2K+ Samsung M16 LTPO AMOLED display with a 3168 x 1440-pixel resolution and a 20:9 aspect ratio.

The smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 2nm mobile platform paired with an Adreno 850 GPU and a Q4 gaming chip. It comes with either 12GB LPDDR5X Ultra or 16GB LPDDR5X Ultra Pro RAM, while storage options include 256GB, 512GB and 1TB using UFS 4.1.

On the software side, the iQOO 16 runs Android 17 with OriginOS 7.

OPPO has not officially revealed the pricing of the F35 series yet.

A recent price leak has mentioned box MRP figures of Rs 79,999 for the F35 Pro and Rs 67,999 for the F35. However, these are reported MRP figures and should not be treated as the final selling prices. The actual launch prices could be considerably different.

Vivo V80 – October 6

The Vivo V80 is scheduled to launch in India on October 6. Its leaked India pricing starts at Rs 62,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant.

Vivo S2 FE Price in India

Variant Price
6GB + 128GB Rs 38,999
8GB + 128GB Rs 42,999

 

The biggest highlight of the Vivo S2 FE could be its 10,000mAh battery at a starting price of Rs 38,999. The phone is also tipped to support 44W charging.

Under the hood, it is expected to use the MediaTek Dimensity 7300e chipset. For photography, the phone is tipped to feature a 50MP rear camera and 32MP selfie camera.

There are conflicting reports about the display size, with leaks mentioning either a 6.7-inch or 6.83-inch AMOLED display. Therefore, the exact display size should be treated as unconfirmed for now.

The Vivo S2 FE is also tipped to come with IP68/IP69 protection.

Vivo X Fold6 – October 6

The Vivo X Fold6 could be the most premium smartphone in this week’s launch lineup. Its India launch is expected on October 6, although some details, including the price, remain unconfirmed.

Vivo X Fold6 Price in India

The Vivo X Fold6 is reportedly priced at Rs 2,19,999 for the 12GB + 512GB variant. This price is unconfirmed and should be treated as a leak until Vivo officially announces it.

Why It Matters?

The leaked Rs 2,19,999 price would make the Vivo X Fold6 dramatically more expensive than the previous Vivo X Fold5, which launched in India at Rs 1,59,999.

Which Phone Should You Watch This Week?

Each smartphone launching this week has a different highlight. Rather than picking one overall winner, these phones target different buyers, from camera and selfie-focused users to those looking for a massive battery or a premium foldable.

The Vivo V80 stands out as the best camera-focused option, while the Vivo S2 FE could appeal to buyers looking for the biggest battery. The Vivo X Fold6 is the most premium option and is also the best foldable in this lineup.

For selfie-focused users, the OPPO F35 series could be worth watching, while the Vivo X Fold6 is also the most expensive phone among the upcoming launches.
