iQOO 15: Design, Specifications, and Features (Expected)

If you loved the design of the iQOO 13, then the iQOO 15 will feel right at home. Based on the renders, the iQOO 15 will feature a design almost identical to its predecessor, with a new color option named Lingyun, which resembles marbles. The phone will also have iQOO’s signature halo RGB lighting around the camera lens.

While the front design hasn’t been confirmed yet, the iQOO 15 is reported to feature a 6.8-inch 2K Samsung AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The brand is also rumoured to incorporate a new anti-reflective/glare coating, which will reduce reflections and improve visibility in brighter environments.

Under the hood, the iQOO 15 is confirmed to come with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, which is clocked at a staggering 4.6 GHz. The phone will be paired with 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of the fastest storage. To power the flagship processor, the iQOO 15 will feature a 7,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery, which supports 100W of fast charging and 50W of wireless charging.

The iQOO 15 will also be the first phone to come with the OriginOS 6 software, which promises to bring much better animations, features, and overall fluidity. However, specific details regarding the new OS are still awaited. Beyond the basics, iQOO will bundle gaming-centric features like the Q3 gaming chip and a new x-axis linear motor. There are rumours about the inclusion of Satellite Connectivity as well. However, whether this feature will reach the global market remains a question.

The new iQOO 15 is set to launch officially in October in China, with a global release following soon after.
