iQOO has begun teasing its next flagship, the iQOO 15, giving fans a closer look at the design and some of its key features. The company describes the new design as “stronger, more restrained, and elegant,” highlighted by a large camera module in the top-left corner. According to iQOO’s product manager, the camera deco resembles a spaceship floating on the glass back panel, making it one of the most eye-catching design elements yet.

iQOO 15 Camera Upgrades
Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that the iQOO 15 will feature a right-angle metal middle frame and a thicker-than-usual lens module. The added bulk is reportedly due to the inclusion of a new periscope telephoto sensor. Earlier leaks suggest the phone will carry a 50MP periscope camera with 3x optical zoom, which would mark a major upgrade for the lineup. An RGB light strip is also said to be part of the design, hidden discreetly in the frame. 
iQOO 15 Display Leaks
Product manager Ge Lan V claims iQOO 15’s 2K panel delivers picture detail beyond both 1.5K Android panels and even Apple’s Pro Max screens. Early figures suggest the display achieves a first-frame brightness of 98.1%, surpassing the industry average and solving issues like ghosting in moving text and images.
Previous reports point to a 6.85-inch 2K Samsung LTPO display with ultra-narrow bezels and support for Pol-less depolarization technology. This should allow for better brightness, improved efficiency, and reduced power draw. The screen will also use AR anti-glare film, reportedly making it one of the costliest display setups on any upcoming flagship.
iQOO 15 Launch Timeline (Expected)
iQOO has already opened pre-reservations for the 15 series in China, signalling that the launch isn’t far away. The company has confirmed it will ship with Android 16-based OriginOS 6 in China. With Qualcomm set to announce the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 at its annual summit next week, the iQOO 15 is tipped to debut on October 20, powered by the new chipset. An India launch is also expected before the year ends.
