iQOO has officially confirmed the launch date of the iQOO 15T, with the smartphone set to debut in China on May 20 at 7 PM local time. The company has also revealed key details about the phone’s display, chipset, battery, and gaming-focused features, giving a clearer idea of what to expect from the upcoming flagship.
iQOO 15T aims to stand out with a rare 2K gaming display
The iQOO 15T will become the first smartphone to feature the Dimensity 9500 Monster Edition chipset globally. The company claims the chip includes exclusive low-level tuning alongside the in-house Q3 gaming chip to deliver smoother frame rates and lower power consumption in demanding games such as Genshin Impact. iQOO says the phone can maintain near full-frame gameplay for 30 minutes while keeping power draw under 5W.
One of the biggest highlights of the device is its 6.82-inch 2K “Everest” flat display with narrow bezels. While many flagship phones have shifted back to 1.5K panels to reduce costs and simplify game optimisation, iQOO appears to be positioning the 15T as a premium performance phone that still prioritises display sharpness. The Q3 chip is also expected to support simultaneous 2K resolution and 144Hz frame interpolation during gaming.
The Dimensity 9500-powered phone is expected to pack an 8000mAh battery with support for 100W wired fast charging. iQOO has also confirmed a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 200-megapixel primary sensor and a 50-megapixel secondary camera, while the front camera uses a 16-megapixel sensor.
In terms of design, the iQOO 15T follows the styling of the iQOO 15 Ultra with a transparent-inspired square camera module. The device will be available in Qingyun, Track Edition, and Legend Edition color variants. It is expected to run OriginOS 6 based on Android 16 and weighs around 216 grams.
