iQOO 16R receives Indonesian certification ahead of expected launch
The iQOO 16R has received certification in Indonesia from the country’s TKDN authority, a step toward a possible launch.
The listing identifies the phone by model number I2606 and confirms iQOO branding and 5G support.
The phone is expected to be a global-market version of the iQOO Z12 Turbo, which is expected to launch in China.
That connection is based on the earlier iQOO Z11 Turbo and iQOO 15R, which were related models.
Rumored features include a 6.59-inch display and a large battery, but iQOO has not confirmed the specifications.
Reports differ on the possible chipset, and a built-in cooling fan has also been rumored.
iQOO has not announced a launch date, so when the phone will be released remains unclear.
The iQOO 16R has appeared in Indonesia’s TKDN certification database under model number I2606.
The listing confirms the iQOO branding and 5G support, but does not provide specifications.
The model had previously appeared in the GSMA’s IMEI database, where the iQOO 16R name surfaced, and in Europe’s EEC database.
The phone is believed to be based on the iQOO Z12 Turbo, but iQOO has not confirmed its specifications or launch timeline.
