The Z12 Lite had previously received EEC certification in July, while the 16R has now been spotted for the first time.
The iQOO 16R could be based on the China-bound iQOO 16T, just as the iQOO 15T was a tweaked version of the China-bound iQOO 15T.
It is reportedly being tested with a 2K Samsung OLED display and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series chipset.
The phone could also feature a 200-megapixel main camera and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, while skipping a periscope camera.
