As per reports, the upcoming iQOO 15 lineup has three devices. While the brand is expected to announce the iQOO 15 in October this year, it may unveil the iQOO 15 Ultra and a compact model, which is tentatively dubbed the iQOO 15 Mini, in the first half of 2026. A new Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed details about the compact edition.
iQOO 15 Mini key specifications tipped
According to the tipster, the alleged iQOO 15 Mini will feature a 6.31-inch display with a flat design. While initial leaks suggested that it could be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (SM8850), its chipset is yet to be finalized. It is speculated that the company may consider adopting the forthcoming Dimensity 9500+ instead. A recent leak suggested that the iQOO 15 Mini may pack a battery of around 7,000mAh capacity.
For those who don’t know, MediaTek is expected to unveil the Dimensity 9500 chip next month. The Vivo X300 series and the Oppo Find X9 lineup are expected to be the first phones to feature it. The Dimensity 9500 Plus, which is expected to launch in the first half of 2026, appears to be an overclocked version of the standard D9500.
DCS added that iQOO had also been exploring a compact tablet project, but it is currently on hold, and its future remains uncertain.
The iQOO 15 Mini is expected to rival the OnePlus 15T, which is expected to feature a similar display and the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. While the Chinese edition may carry the 15T branding, it may debut in India as the OnePlus 15s. At present, there is no clarity on whether the iQOO 15 Mini will be released outside of China.
