iQOO 15 Leak Reveals 2K AMOLED Display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and 7,000mAh Power
iQOO 15 leak teases a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, 2K AMOLED screen, triple 50MP cameras, and a 7,000mAh battery ahead of launch.
The next chapter in iQOO’s performance legacy is about to unfold — but someone already turned the page early. Just a day before its official launch on October 20 in China, the full specifications of the iQOO 15 surfaced on Weibo, courtesy of the ever-reliable tipster Digital Chat Station. And if the leaks are true, this phone might just rewrite the flagship rulebook.
Display: Power Meets Precision
At the heart of the experience lies a 6.85-inch Samsung M14 LEAD AMOLED 8T LTPO display. It supports a crisp 2K+ resolution (3168 × 1440) and a silky 144Hz refresh rate — the kind of screen that feels alive under your fingertips. The flat panel, framed by rounded edges, can hit 1,000 nits in manual brightness and comes with an anti-reflection film, ensuring clarity even under harsh light. Beneath it hides an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor — fast, accurate, and almost invisible.
Performance: Born for the Battlefield
Inside, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor is paired with a Q3 graphics chip, tuned for smoother gaming visuals. iQOO seems to be building not just a phone, but a competitive weapon for gamers and power users alike. Fueling it all is a massive 7,000mAh battery, capable of 100W wired and 40W wireless charging — numbers that make battery anxiety a distant memory.
Camera: Triple 50MP Vision
On the camera front, the iQOO 15 goes all-in on high-resolution optics. Up front, there’s a 32MP selfie camera for crisp portraits. On the rear, a 50MP main shooter leads the pack, featuring a 1/1.56-inch sensor for better light capture. It’s joined by a 50MP ultra-wide lens and a 50MP Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom — a trio clearly meant to challenge flagships far above its price tier.
Engineering and Endurance
Under the hood, iQOO’s engineering flair shows in the details. There’s a 091640 x-axis linear motor for realistic haptic feedback, dual symmetrical speakers for balanced audio, and a USB-C Gen 3.2 port for faster data transfers. To keep things cool under pressure, it features an 8K VC heat sink, while the IP68/69 certification adds protection against dust and water.
Running on OriginOS 6 based on Android 16, the phone promises a software experience that’s as refined as its hardware.
Every iQOO release carries a hint of rebellion — a challenge to bigger brands that comfort breeds complacency. The iQOO 15 looks ready to continue that legacy: sleek, fearless, and unapologetically overpowered. If these leaks hold true, October 20 might not just mark a launch — it could mark a line in the sand for the 2025 flagship wars.
