iQOO globally launched its latest flagship smartphone, the iQOO 15, on 20 October 2025 in Shenzhen, China, marking a breakthrough that redefines performance standards for gaming flagships. Powered by the cutting-edge Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 and the all-new Supercomputing Chip Q3, the device delivers comprehensive enhancements across every aspect of gaming performance, offering an extraordinary experience for power users, gamers, and creators alike.
At the heart of the iQOO 15 lies the next-generation Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5, built on an advanced 3nm process and powered by the third-generation Qualcomm Oryon CPU. The platform delivers faster, smoother, and more efficient performance across gaming, multimedia, and daily tasks while reducing power consumption with a remarkable 32% boost in CPU responsiveness and a 23% improvement in GPU performance. When paired with industry-leading UFS 4.1 and LPDDR5X Ultra Pro memory, the iQOO 15 achieves read/write speeds of up to 10.7Gbps, ensuring ultra-fast and consistent performance.
The Supercomputing Chip Q3 is a true Mobile Graphic Chip featuring three proprietary cores—DA Core, RT Core, and AI Core—that deliver exceptional graphics processing power. This enables PC-level frame stability and ultra-smooth performance across top mobile titles, setting new standards for visual quality and responsiveness. The Concurrent Super Resolution and Frame Interpolation technologies achieve the industry’s lowest latency, while iQOO Neural Super Sampling (QNSS) makes the iQOO 15 the first smartphone to support AI-based super-sampling, offering true 2K resolution in more games without increasing system load. Moreover, the device debuts Android’s first self-developed Ray Tracing, producing cinematic lighting and realistic shadows for an unparalleled level of immersion.
To enhance the gaming experience, iQOO collaborated with Honkai: Star Rail and Delta Action to introduce customized lighting and haptic effects. Exclusive in-game features developed with Honor of Kings, such as Match Review and Highlight Auto Recording, add professional-grade tools for gamers. Additional features like Bypass Charging, Livestream Replay, and Dual-Device Screen Mirroring make it possible to game and stream simultaneously with minimal interruption.
The sensory experience receives a significant boost through the industry’s first Dual-Axis Vibration Motor, supporting both X and Z-axis feedback for nuanced haptic responses. The Next-Gen Super Touch Control ensures unmatched precision, while the Symmetrical Drum Master Speaker system with Gaming HyperSense Audio delivers immersive, spatially accurate sound. The upgraded Monster Halo Game Lighting Effect adds dynamic lighting that syncs with in-game actions, blending visual and tactile feedback seamlessly.
The iQOO 15 also debuts the Samsung 2K M14 LEAD™ OLED Display, co-developed with Samsung, offering 2,600 nits global brightness and an incredible 6,000 nits local peak brightness. Its Triple Ambient Light Sensor automatically adjusts tone and brightness for optimal visibility, covering 118% NTSC color gamut for vivid and realistic visuals. The Polarization-Free Natural Light Display minimizes glare and color distortion, while multiple TÜV Rheinland certifications ensure superior eye comfort even during extended use.
On the software side, iQOO 15 is the first to introduce OriginOS 6 globally, powered by the Origin Smooth Engine for long-term fluidity and stability. The new interface emphasizes personalization and intelligent multitasking with features like Copy & Go and Drag & Go, simplifying productivity and workflow. Cross-platform connectivity is seamless, with One-Tap Transfer for iPhone and Office Kit for Mac, bridging different ecosystems effortlessly.
Following its successful global debut, iQOO 15 is set to launch in Malaysia soon, having already appeared on SIRIM certification. Malaysian users can look forward to experiencing this next-generation gaming powerhouse when it officially arrives this December.
