iQoo has officially set the stage for its next flagship, confirming that the iQoo 15 will debut in China on October 20 at 7:00 PM local time in Shenzhen. The company also says sales will begin immediately after the launch event. While this announcement is specific to the Chinese market, details about global availability are still under wraps.
As the successor to last year’s iQoo 13, the iQoo 15 is already generating buzz thanks to its confirmed Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset—positioning it as a performance powerhouse for gaming, multitasking, and high-end mobile use. Beyond the processor, most official specs remain a mystery, but a trusted tipster has outlined what to expect.
Leaked highlights point to a 6.85-inch Samsung display with 2K resolution and a silky-smooth 144Hz refresh rate, promising a vivid, sharp, and ultra-responsive viewing experience. Photography could be a major focus as well, with a rumored triple 50MP rear camera system that includes a 1/1.5-inch main sensor, a periscope telephoto lens for long-range zoom, and an ultrawide lens for versatile shooting.
Battery life looks equally ambitious. The iQoo 15 is said to pack a 7,000mAh cell with 100W wired fast charging, aiming to deliver all-day endurance with rapid top-ups. iQoo has also confirmed wireless charging support—an upgrade over the iQoo 13 that many fans have been waiting for.
Other features tipped to appear include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, symmetrical dual speakers for balanced audio, and a large X-axis linear motor to enhance haptics and in-game feedback.
