iQOO 15 Ultra: Specifications and Features (Expected)
The iQOO 15 Ultra is likely to feature a 6.85-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The LTPO panel allows the refresh rate to adjust based on usage, which helps manage power consumption during routine tasks while supporting higher refresh rates during gaming and video playback.
Under the hood, the device is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. This makes it the second phone from iQOO to use this chipset. The device will support up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 internal storage.
iQOO is also introducing a new Q3 gaming chip with this model. This chip replaces the Q2 chip used in the standard iQOO 15. Additionally, the device will include air triggers on the frame, allowing users to map shoulder-style controls for games.
As for the optics, the iQOO 15 Ultra will include a triple rear camera setup, including a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilisation, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 50MP 3x periscope telephoto camera with CIPA 4.5 stabilisation. On the front, the phone will feature a 32MP camera for selfies and video calls.
The device is likely to house a 7,800mAh silicon-carbon battery with 100W wired fast charging and wireless charging support. The wireless charging speed is expected to be similar to or higher than the 40W support seen on the standard model.
