The iQOO 15 isn’t official yet, but it’s already getting attention for good reason. More leaks just dropped which reveal a lot of what iQOO fans have been asking for: better zoom, stronger hardware, and possibly, finally, wireless charging.
Camera
Okay, let’s be honest. The iQOO 13’s zoom camera felt like a downgrade. It ditched the periscope lens from the iQOO 12 and left users with a basic 2x telephoto. Not terrible, but not great either.
The iQOO 15 fixes that. According to trusted leaker Digital Chat Station, it brings back the 50MP periscope camera with 3x optical zoom. If you’ve ever tried snapping a clear shot from far away, you know how much of a difference that makes. It’s a big win for anyone into photography.
Flat OLED Display, Big and Sharp
The display? It’s flat, but don’t let that fool you. We’re talking about a 6.85-inch QHD+ OLED panel, built by Samsung using LIPO tech, which basically means the bezels are razor thin, and the whole thing looks clean and modern.
And here’s something cool: iQOO is using Vivo’s own display chip inside. That should help with better visuals, less battery drain while watching videos, and more responsive touch controls in games.
Battery
100W wired charging? Still here. That part’s locked in.
But what’s more exciting is that iQOO is reportedly thinking about adding wireless charging. While it’s still unofficial, things are definitely looking positive. And honestly, it’s about time. With so many premium phones supporting it, the iQOO lineup has felt one feature short which could close that gap.
Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor
Another upgrade that makes a difference every day? The ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. It’s in the display, just like before, but this one uses ultrasonic tech which works faster and still unlocks even if your thumb is a bit sweaty.
Snapdragon 8 Elite 2: A New Beast Incoming
iQOO might use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. This chip hasn’t been officially launched yet (it’s due in September), but it’ll be a powerhouse with better battery life, smoother gaming, and stronger AI. In short, it should fly.
iQOO 15 Key Specs (Expected)
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.85″ QHD+ OLED (Flat, Samsung LIPO) |
| Camera | 50MP periscope with 3x optical zoom |
| Chipset | Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (Expected) |
| Charging | 100W wired, wireless charging TBD |
| Fingerprint Sensor | Ultrasonic, in-display |
| Extra Touch | Vivo’s own display chip |
Final Thoughts
There’s still some mystery around the iQOO 15, especially when it comes to wireless charging. But with the periscope camera making a return, a big OLED screen with upgraded visuals, and what could be one of the fastest chips this year, the iQOO 15 finally feels like the flagship it’s meant to be.
Let’s just hope iQOO keeps all these upgrades and doesn’t pull a last-minute switch like it did with the zoom lens last year. For now though, this phone is looking sharp.
