iQOO 15 Tipped to Launch in October 2025 with Huge Battery and Pro-Level Specs

iQOO is reportedly preparing to launch its next flagship smartphone — the iQOO 15 — as the successor to last year’s iQOO 13. While the brand has yet to make an official announcement, new leaks from China have revealed the probable launch window, key specifications, and standout features of the upcoming device.

Launch Timeline and Variants

According to reliable tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo, the iQOO 15 is expected to debut in October 2025 in China. The launch will likely include multiple models, potentially the iQOO 15 Pro or iQOO 15 Ultra, targeting premium smartphone users and gaming enthusiasts.

The tipster also hinted at other flagship releases in the same month, including a Realme series device — speculated to be the Realme GT 8 and GT 8 Pro — featuring a massive 200MP periscope telephoto sensor.

Display and Performance

The iQOO 15 is rumored to feature a Samsung AMOLED display with 2K resolution, delivering sharp visuals and deep contrasts for gaming and media consumption. The display size is expected to be around 6.85 inches, offering an immersive experience with high refresh rate support.

Under the hood, the device is tipped to be among the first smartphones powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC, Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship processor set to launch next month. iQOO is also likely to include its self-developed gaming chip, aimed at improving frame stability, reducing latency, and enhancing the overall gaming experience.

Battery and Charging

Battery life may be one of the iQOO 15’s biggest highlights. Reports suggest a 7,000mAh battery, which would be one of the largest capacities in a mainstream flagship phone. This is expected to be paired with 100W wired fast charging, enabling quick top-ups despite the massive battery size.

Camera Specifications

The iQOO 15 could sport a triple 50MP rear camera setup, which may include:

Primary 50MP sensor

50MP ultra-wide lens

50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom

An in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is also rumored, ensuring fast and secure biometric authentication.

Comparison with iQOO 13

For reference, the iQOO 13 was launched in China in October 2024 and later in India in December, priced at ₹54,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant. It featured:

6.82-inch 2K LTPO AMOLED display

Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset

Triple 50MP rear cameras

6,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging

The iQOO 15 is expected to refine these specs, offering even better performance, battery life, and display technology.

What to Expect

With top-tier hardware, cutting-edge gaming features, and a likely competitive price point, the iQOO 15 is positioned to be a major contender in the flagship segment. If the leaks hold true, it could be one of the most powerful Android smartphones of late 2025.
