A flagship built for power and precision
The upcoming iQOO 15 is set to be a true performance powerhouse. It will be among the first smartphones in the world to debut with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, a next-generation platform designed to deliver massive performance gains in gaming, AI processing, and overall efficiency.
To enhance the gaming experience further, the device integrates a Q3 gaming chip, a dedicated secondary processor engineered to maintain smoother frame rates, reaching up to 144fps during high-intensity gaming sessions.
The display is equally impressive, a 6.85-inch 2K panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, offering ultra-sharp visuals and fluid motion. The phone will ship with the latest OriginOS 6, bringing a refreshed user interface and optimized system performance.
Premium design with long-awaited features
The iQOO 15 marks a turning point for the brand, introducing long-requested premium additions. For the first time, an iQOO flagship will support wireless charging, addressing one of the most common requests from users.
Durability has also been elevated with IP68 and IP69 ratings, offering superior resistance against dust, water, and even high-pressure water jets, a rarity among gaming-centric smartphones.
The device will launch in four distinct color variants, including one with a color-changing back panel, adding a touch of futuristic style to its rugged build.
More than just a phone launch
iQOO’s October 20 event will go beyond the flagship announcement. The company will also introduce a complete ecosystem of devices, including the iQOO Pad5e powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, the iQOO Watch GT 2, and the iQOO TWS 5 earbuds.
While the iQOO 15 will debut in China first, a global release is expected to follow soon after, likely by early December. Interestingly, the international variant will retain OriginOS, aligning the global experience with its domestic counterpart.
