iQOO has shown the 16’s back in official promo art, and the look leans into a metallic silver finish with a prismatic triangle pattern that flashes red and cyan under light. The camera deck is a large rounded-square island with three lenses in a triangle layout, plus a red 100X marking beside the glass.
At the same time, a unit listed as vivo V2606A has landed on Geekbench 6 with Qualcomm’s SM8975 SoC and Android 17 on the sheet. That run posts 3783 single-core and 11246 multi-core on Geekbench 6.7.1, with about 16GB of RAM and CPU clusters peaking near 5.01 GHz.
Early engineering scores can still move before retail firmware, so treat the Geekbench numbers as a snapshot rather than the final retail pitch. The listing still lines up with the already-shown prismatic back and the late-September launch chatter around the 16.
Chipset marketing name, battery, display final cut, and pricing are still under wraps. For now the design reveal and the SM8975 / Android 17 Geekbench hit are the clearest public looks at the iQOO 16.
