What iQOO Has Officially Confirmed About the iQOO 15
The countdown to iQOO’s next flagship is heating up as the company confirms several key specifications for the anticipated iQOO 15. Through a Weibo post, iQOO revealed that the device will finally support wireless charging — a feature that was notably missing on its predecessor, the iQOO 13. Product manager Galant V highlighted a new seven-cell Blue Ocean battery design, designed not only to enable wireless charging but also to work with the Global Direct Drive Power Supply 2.0 standard. This combination is pitched to extend gameplay, video playback, and navigation sessions while protecting the battery during heavy use.
Battery and Charging: Bigger, Smarter, Longer
Rumors and the official notes align around a substantial battery upgrade for the iQOO 15. While the iQOO 13 shipped with a 6,000mAh pack and 120W wired charging, expectations for the iQOO 15 point toward a 7,000mAh capacity alongside robust charging options. The Blue Ocean seven-cell configuration is described as optimized for both wireless charging and sustained performance, with the Global Direct Drive Power Supply 2.0 standard emphasized as a backbone for smooth gaming, video streaming, and prolonged navigation without overheating or excessive wear.
Display and Performance: A Strong Power Duo
Leaked specs suggest the iQOO 15 could sport a 6.85-inch Samsung display with a 2K resolution of 3,168×1,440 and a 144Hz refresh rate, delivering buttery-smooth motion and sharp visuals for gaming and multimedia. Under the hood, the phone is expected to pair iQOO’s own Q3 chip with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, aiming to balance top-tier performance with efficiency for long sessions. If true, this combination would place the iQOO 15 at the upper end of flagship performance in its class.
Camera System: High-Resolution Imaging
On the imaging front, the iQOO 15 is rumored to feature a 50MP primary camera with a large sensor around 1/1.5 inches, coupled with a 50MP periscope telephoto lens. This setup would emphasize high-resolution stills and strong optical zoom capabilities, catering to mobile photographers who want premium results in a range of lighting conditions.
Price in India: What to Expect
Market whispers around the iQOO 15’s India pricing place the base model in the ₹60,000–₹65,000 segment, a roughly ₹5,000 increase over the iQOO 13’s launch price of ₹54,999 for the 12GB/256GB variant. Tipsters suggest this jump aligns with the new wireless charging capability, larger battery, and enhanced display and processor power. iQOO’s color options for the iQOO 13 — Legend and Nardo Grey — have been cited in discussions, though official color confirmations for the iQOO 15 are still pending as launch approaches.
Why This Matters in the Flagship Arena
With wireless charging finally making its way to the iQOO lineup, the iQOO 15 aligns with broader flagship trends that favor convenience and longer device lifespans. The combination of a large battery, high-refresh 2K display, a potent processor duo, and competitive camera capabilities positions the iQOO 15 as a strong challenger in the premium Android space. If the rumors prove accurate, buyers may find a compelling balance of endurance, speed, and imaging prowess that could influence pricing and feature decisions across the segment.
What to Watch For Next
As the official launch date nears, we’ll be watching for final confirmations on battery capacity, charging speeds, display specifics, and the exact SOC configuration. Availability details, regional pricing, and color options will also come into sharper focus. For now, the confirmed wireless charging and the seven-cell battery approach signal a meaningful shift in how iQOO is approaching flagship power management.
