iQOO launched the iQOO 13 in October last year. Since then, there have been mixed rumors regarding the name of its successor. While some speculated it would be called the iQOO 14 or iQOO 15, the official poster released by the brand has now confirmed that the upcoming flagship will be named the iQOO 15. This naming choice is likely due to the number “4” being considered unlucky in some Asian countries, including China. To recall, iQOO had previously skipped the number “4” as well, moving directly from the iQOO 3 to the iQOO 5.
iQOO 15 moniker officially revealed
The above poster reveals that iQOO has officially kicked off promotions for its upcoming iQOO 15 series by launching an “experience officer” recruitment campaign. The brand revealed this initiative on its social channels, aligning it with the 2025 ChinaJoy event, hinting at an earlier-than-usual arrival for its next-gen flagship. While the phone will not be showcased live at the event, winners will receive their units once the model is officially released.
On Aug. 1, iQOO will host a special “Honor of Kings” 5v5 tournament at its ChinaJoy booth, where eight teams will be selected on-site for a competitive showdown. The winning team will be rewarded with a free iQOO 15 for each player once its launched later this year. This campaign is being used to build hype around the iQOO 15 without giving away too many product details before the official reveal.
Leaks suggest the iQOO 15 series will include two devices, such as the iQOO 15 and 15 Ultra. The entire series will be packed with top-notch hardware, including a 6.85-inch 2K LTPO OLED screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, and a triple rear camera setup with all three sensors rated at 50 megapixels, as well as a 3x periscope telephoto lens with a mid-sized sensor.
Gaming performance is also a key focus, with iQOO’s self-developed discrete display chip making a return, and rumors indicating a battery size over 7,000mAh. The Ultra edition is expected to feature an active cooling fan and gaming trigger buttons. The series is also expected to feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor and wireless charging support. It is expected to break cover in October this year in China.
