Is iQOO bringing iQOO 16 to ChinaJoy a sign that the official launch date is very close, or is this just an early introduction to attract the gaming community?
According to iQOO's promotional image, the company organized a program to select the first testers for iQOO 16 at the ChinaJoy exhibition area taking place at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Center. The time of the activity is clearly stated from August 2, 2026 to August 3, 2026, coinciding with the last days of the ChinaJoy 2026 event.
The content on the poster says that visitors have the opportunity to experience iQOO 16 at the company's booth and some participants who meet the program's conditions can receive an iQOO 16 according to the rules announced by the organizers at the event. However, the poster does not announce the product's configuration, complete design, price or official opening date.
Up to now, iQOO has not officially announced all technical specifications of iQOO 16. Therefore, all information about configuration, processor chip, camera, battery or screen appearing on forums and social networks is still in the group of rumors or leaks, and cannot be considered confirmed information.
