The iQOO 16, which was launched officially in China earlier this week, is tipped to arrive in India. A tipster recently shared a post on X that revealed that the phone has allegedly started some testing procedures in the country.

So, speculations are rife that the the device will launch in India in the coming weeks.

Moreover, it is expected to cost more than the Chinese variant, which has a starting range from CNY 5,999, which is about INR 86,000.

The tipster claims that it could actually be priced around Rs 100,000, which makes it more expensive than the Chinese variant. The iQOO 16 predecessor, which made debut just one year ago, had a starting price of Rs 72,999. However, the iQOO 16 is much richer in the specifications department though, which makes it worth it’s value.
