OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra

The OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra fits into this list as the brand’s more gaming-focused alternative to the OnePlus 15. It is currently aimed at the Chinese market, but its hardware makes it one of the strongest esports phones in OnePlus’ lineup.

The phone uses the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, up to 16GB LPDDR5X Ultra RAM, and up to 1TB UFS 4.1 storage. It has a 6.78-inch 1.5K BOE AMOLED display with up to a 165Hz refresh rate.

(iQOO)

The post iQOO 15T debuts with Dimensity 9500, 200MP camera & 8000mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

iQOO is preparing to launch its next performance-focused flagship, the iQOO 15T, in China. With the official launch just around the corner, the company has been slowly revealing almost everything about the phone. And from everything we know about the device so far, we can predict that the device is built for performance without compromise.

So here’s everything you need to know about the iQOO 15T before its launch. 

2K display with high refresh rate

On the front, the iQOO 15T will feature a 6.82-inch flat display with a 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The panel uses an 8T LTPO structure and BOE’s Q10+ substrate, which should help with smoother refresh rate switching and better power efficiency.

The display is also described as a high-end “Everest” flat screen with very thin bezels and a 2K resolution. 

The phone also supports advanced gaming features like 2K resolution combined with 144fps frame interpolation, depending on the title and optimisation.

Dimensity 9500 and Q3 gaming chip 

At the core of the device is the Dimensity 9500 chipset from MediaTek. This is paired with iQOO’s self-developed Q3 gaming chip, designed to handle heavy graphics workloads and gaming optimisation.

Together, the system is tuned for sustained performance rather than short bursts. iQOO claims the phone can maintain near full-frame gaming performance for long periods while keeping power consumption under control, even in demanding games like Genshin Impact.

The Q3 chip also enables features like full-scene ray tracing, super-resolution rendering, and smoother frame generation. In supported games, users may even get 2K resolution combined with 144fps output. The iQOO 15T will run OriginOS 6 based on Android 16.

As is common in flagships now, the iQOO 15T uses a silicon-carbon battery of 8000mAh. Despite the large capacity, the phone still supports 100W fast wired charging. iQOO also includes a system called Global Direct Drive Power Supply 2.0, which helps reduce heat when the phone is charging and gaming at the same time.

Cameras

For cameras, the iQOO 15T introduces a major upgrade for the brand. It will feature a 200-megapixel main rear camera, which is the first time such a high-resolution sensor is used on an iQOO flagship.

This main camera uses a large sensor and supports CIPA 4.5-level stabilisation, similar to what is found in some Vivo imaging-focused flagships. It also supports 4x lossless zoom, which should help maintain detail when cropping or zooming into images.

Along with the main sensor, the phone also includes a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. On the front, there is a 16-megapixel selfie camera.

The camera system also supports full focal-length portrait photography and AI-based image enhancements. While iQOO is still clearly a performance-first brand, this setup shows it is also trying to improve its imaging capabilities.

Design and build

In terms of design, the iQOO 15T follows the styling of the iQOO 15 Ultra. It comes with a square camera module that has a transparent-inspired look.

The phone will be available in three colour options: Qingyun, Track Edition, and Legend Edition. It weighs around 216 grams, depending on the variant, and measures roughly 8.25mm to 8.4mm in thickness.

Despite the large battery, iQOO has managed to keep the design relatively slim for a device in this category.

The phone also includes practical hardware features like a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, a metal frame, and IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance ratings.

Price

There is still no official pricing for the iQOO 15T. However, based on its specifications, it is expected to sit in the upper-premium segment in China.

Global availability is also unclear at the moment. iQOO has not confirmed whether the device will launch outside China.

The post iQOO 15T Roundup: Here’s Everything You Need To Know appeared first on Gizmochina.

On May 20, iQOO will take the wraps off the iQOO 15T, a performance-focused flagship phone in China. With only a few days remaining until launch, the brand has been steadily confirming key details about the device. Earlier this week, it revealed the display specifications, and now it has confirmed the battery size, charging capabilities, and primary camera details.

iQOO 15T’s battery, charging, and camera details confirmed

The iQOO 15T is equipped with the largest battery in the flagship lineup — an ultra-slim 8,000mAh battery paired with 100W fast charging. It supports Global Direct Drive Power Supply 2.0, which helps reduce heat while gaming and charging simultaneously. The durable high-capacity single-cell battery is designed to deliver all-day battery life, from morning classes to bedtime.

Moving on to the optics, the iQOO 15T will, for the first time on an iQOO flagship phone, feature a 200-megapixel large-sensor super main camera capable of delivering highly detailed shots even when zooming in. It also supports the same CIPA 4.5 professional-grade stabilisation found on Vivo’s imaging flagship phones, along with 4x lossless zoom for clearer shots at both short and long distances. Other features include full focal-length portrait photography and AI-powered imaging tools.

Recent reports have revealed that the iQOO 15T will feature a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens alongside the primary camera, as well as a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. The device will ship with OriginOS 6-based Android 16.

On the front, the iQOO 15T will feature a 6.82-inch 2K flat display with support for a 144Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it will be powered by the Dimensity 9500 Monster Edition chipset for improved gaming performance. The inclusion of the self-developed Q3 e-sports chip will enable full-scene ray tracing, super 2K resolution, and 2K + 144fps gaming in select titles. At present, there is no clarity on whether the iQOO 15T will launch in markets outside China.

The post iQOO 15T confirmed to pack 8,000mAh battery with 100W charging, 200MP camera appeared first on Gizmochina.

The upcoming iQOO 15T has now been officially confirmed for a May 20, 2026 launch in China at 19:00 local time. One of the biggest highlights is the new Dimensity 9500 “Monster Edition” chip, which was co-developed with MediaTek. iQOO says the chip works together with its self-developed “Monster super-core engine” to improve gaming performance, with the company claiming a 34% boost in frame-rate stability.

The phone also includes iQOO’s new Q3 e-sports gaming chip, which enables features like full-scene ray tracing, 2K super-resolution, and simultaneous 2K + 144FPS gaming in supported titles. As usual, real-world performance will matter more than marketing numbers, but iQOO is clearly pushing the device as a serious gaming-focused flagship.

On the front, the iQOO 15T is expected to feature a large 6.82-inch 2K flat display with 8T LTPO technology and a 144Hz refresh rate. The panel also supports full-screen always-on display functionality and hardware-based circular polarization for improved eye comfort.

The design appears a bit more experimental compared to previous iQOO phones as well. Official teasers show a transparent-style rear camera module that the company refers to as a “futuristic” design.

Battery life could end up being another major selling point. iQOO says the 15T packs the largest battery ever used in one of its flagship phones, coming in at 8000mAh while still maintaining a relatively slim body.

For cameras, the device is confirmed to use a 200MP main sensor with CIPA 4.5-level stabilization, along with support for 4x lossless zoom and up to 40x hybrid zoom.

There is still no official word on pricing yet, but with the combination of high-end gaming features, a large 2K display, and an unusually massive battery, the iQOO 15T is shaping up to be one of the more interesting Android flagships launching in China this month.

One of the biggest highlights of the device is its 6.82-inch 2K “Everest” flat display with narrow bezels.

The upcoming iQOO 15T has surfaced in another round of leaks ahead of its expected launch in China later this month.

A new tip from known leaker Digital Chat Station reconfirms several key specifications of the device, including its display, battery, cameras, and charging support.

iQOO 15T Specifications (Rumored)

According to the latest leak, the iQOO 15T has cleared all the required certifications for release in the mainland. 

The phone is tipped to feature a 6.83-inch 2K OLED flat display with a 144Hz refresh rate. On the front, the smartphone may include a 16-megapixel selfie camera, while the rear is expected to house a dual-camera setup with a 200-megapixel primary sensor and a 50-megapixel secondary camera.

iQOO 15T has been in the rumor mills for a while now. A new rumor today is giving us a first look at the device, or more like a part of it. 

Reliable insider Digital Chat Station (DCS) from Weibo shared a back image of the iQOO 15T showing the square camera module. The device, at least from what’s visible in the leak, borrows heavily from the brand’s Ultra series design language.
