Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station had earlier claimed that the iQOO 16, expected to launch this month, would pack an 8,500 mAh battery. Now, the tipster says the smartphone is confirmed to come with an 8,400 mAh battery.
Even if the iQOO 16’s battery capacity is lower than previously rumored, it is still higher than the iQOO 15‘s 7,000 mAh battery capacity.
