Mobile gamers waiting for the next iQOO flagship will get a sharper, faster screen sooner than expected.

New 165Hz OLED panel targets mobile gamers with sharper visuals
The iQOO 16 joins the iQOO 15 and iQOO 15 Ultra in the current lineup. It shares a launch window with the iQOO Neo 12 in China. The device positions itself as a performance-focused smartphone for the Chinese market.
iQOO 16 Display Specifications
- Display Size: 6.85 inches
- Display Resolution: 2K
- Refresh Rate: 165Hz
- Display Supplier: Samsung Display
- Display Technology: 2K LEAD OLED
The new panel measures 6.85 inches with a 2K resolution. It supports a 165Hz refresh rate, which is higher than the 144Hz found in the iQOO 15. The panel is reportedly supplied by Samsung Display and uses 2K LEAD OLED technology.

The iQOO 15 used 2K LEAD OLED with M14 luminous material and reached up to 2,600 nits global peak brightness. The iQOO 16 aims to exceed these metrics, though exact details remain undisclosed. We've been tracking iQOO 16 closely — see our earlier coverage on iQOO 16 Leak.
