iQOO 16 – Malaysian SIRIM Certification Reveals Moniker
About the SIRIM listing, the smartphone carrying the model number ‘I2607’ has been listed with the ‘iQOO 16’ moniker under the iQOO branding. The certification number is mentioned as ‘RGQL/64L/1026/S(26-5886)’, and the device has received the certification on the 15th of October 2026. While no key specs have been revealed via this database, its appearance points to a possible Malaysian launch.
To note, the same model number had previously appeared on Geekbench and was tipped to belong to the global or Indian variant of the iQOO 16 smartphone. With the latest SIRIM listing, this model number’s moniker has now been confirmed.
Regarding its specifications, both the global and Indian versions are expected to arrive with the same specs as those of the Chinese model. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip was already pointed out via its Geekbench listings, and Nipun Marya had also confirmed that the same chipset will be powering the Indian model. However, confirmation regarding the remaining specifications is still awaited.
Additionally, the earlier Geekbench listings had revealed 12GB and 16GB RAM variants of the device. These could be among its memory options at launch, although their availability in the respective markets is yet to be revealed.
Speaking more, tipster Gadgetsdata had earlier suggested that the iQOO 16 smartphone could start at around INR 95,000 in India, without offers. The exact Indian launch date and official pricing details have not yet been announced by the brand. In the coming days, we are likely to hear more about these details. Stay tuned until then.
