iQOO 15 Leaks Reveal Major Camera and Display Upgrades

New leaks have revealed more details about the upcoming iQOO 15 smartphone, which is expected to launch later this year. This device is shaping up to be a strong flagship contender, especially after missing features in its predecessor, the iQOO 13.

Back in May, reports suggested that the iQOO 15 would come with a large 6.85-inch flat OLED display, made by Samsung. This display will have QHD+ resolution and use LIPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) technology for improved performance and power efficiency.

Now, popular leaker Digital Chat Station has shared more information about the phone’s hardware. One of the most exciting features is the return of a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. This is an upgrade over the iQOO 13, which only had a standard 2x telephoto lens and no periscope zoom—something many fans were disappointed about. The iQOO 12 had the periscope lens, and its return in the iQOO 15 brings back one of the most requested features.

Another major upgrade is the ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, which is expected to offer faster and more accurate unlocking compared to traditional optical sensors. The phone will also include vivo’s self-developed independent display chip, designed to enhance image processing and visual quality.

In terms of charging, the iQOO 15 will support 100W wired fast charging. The company is reportedly still deciding whether to add wireless charging, but according to sources, it is likely to be included. Wireless charging is another feature that was missing in the iQOO 13 and could help position the iQOO 15 as a complete flagship device.

The phone is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (Elite 2) chipset, which is set to be officially announced in September. This processor will likely offer better performance and efficiency, making the iQOO 15 one of the earliest phones to feature the new chip.

With improved display, camera, and charging features, the iQOO 15 is shaping up to be a true flagship smartphone that fills the gaps left by its predecessor. More details, including the official launch date, are expected to surface in the coming weeks.
