iQoo 15 leak teases big battery, elite performance, and an October China launch
The next performance flagship from iQoo is taking shape, and the early numbers are eye-catching. According to a reliable tipster on Weibo, the iQoo 15 is slated to debut in China in October with a focus on speed, endurance, and camera versatility—positioning it as a true successor to last year’s iQoo 13.
At the heart of the leaks is Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, reportedly powering the iQoo 15. This next-gen processor is expected to arrive around late September and could also appear in other top-tier phones such as the OnePlus 15. Paired with up to 16GB of RAM and as much as 1TB of storage, the iQoo 15 is shaping up to be a powerhouse for gaming and heavy multitasking.
Battery life looks set for a major upgrade. The iQoo 13 packed a 6,000mAh cell; the iQoo 15 is tipped to jump to a massive 7,000mAh, supported by 100W wired fast charging and wireless charging. If accurate, that combination should deliver all-day stamina with rapid top-ups.
The display reportedly sticks to a flat 6.8-inch Samsung-made panel with a crisp 2K resolution—great news for gamers and media lovers who prefer a flat screen for better touch accuracy. On the camera front, leaks point to a 50MP 1/1.5-inch main sensor alongside a 50MP periscope telephoto, suggesting strong zoom capabilities and reliable low-light performance.
Other rumored hardware includes an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner and dual speakers, rounding out a spec sheet that leans heavily into premium territory.
