Vivo iQOO 15 is here, redefining mobile power
20 October 2025, 20:06:36
Designed for users who demand uncompromising speed, immersive visuals, and intelligent features, the iQOO 15 by Vivo blends cutting-edge hardware with thoughtful design and software finesse.
At its core, the device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with Vivo's self-developed Q3 gaming chip, engineered to deliver console-grade rendering, real-time ray tracing, and AI-enhanced performance. Combined with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra Pro RAM and up to a staggering 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, the iQOO 15 achieves read/write speeds of up to 9600Mbps, ensuring seamless multitasking and lightning-fast load times. An advanced cooling system keeps the device thermally stable even under intense gaming conditions. Gaming on the iQOO 15 is a deeply immersive experience. It supports native 144 FPS gameplay in titles like Honor of Kings, with ultra-low latency - tap response clocks in at just 24.58 milliseconds, while swipe latency is a mere 44.16 milliseconds. Touch sampling reaches up to 3200Hz for instant feedback, and the 360Hz multi-touch sampling ensures precision in competitive play. Dual-axis vibration motors deliver nuanced 4D haptics, while stereo speakers provide rich, spatial audio.
The display is a standout feature. Vivo has equipped the iQOO 15 with a Samsung-sourced 2K AMOLED panel that offers 40 percent higher light efficiency, 60 percent less ghosting, and 18 percent wider color gamut. It's built for clarity and comfort, with a 144Hz refresh rate and natural light display technology that reduces eye strain during extended use. The AG matte finish and anti-fingerprint coating add a layer of elegance and practicality to the device's exterior.
Battery life is another area where the iQOO 15 excels. With a massive 7000 mAh 2nd-Gen Silicon/Carbon battery, users can expect all-day endurance. Charging is equally impressive, offering 100W wired and 40W wireless charging. Connectivity is robust, with dual 5G acceleration supporting four network combinations, enhanced 5.8GHz Wi-Fi coverage, Bluetooth 6.0, and full-function NFC for payments and transit. The device also integrates seamlessly with Apple's ecosystem, allowing file sharing and sync with iPhone, Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods.
Photography is handled with finesse. The iQOO 15 supports dynamic portrait modes across multiple focal lengths - 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm - alongside long-focus night photography and AI-powered anime-style imaging. The camera department comprises three 50MP shooters. The main shooter uses a Sony IMX921 sensor with an f/1.88 lens and OIS. The telephoto unit uses a Sony IMX882 sensor with OIS and autofocus. There's also an ultra-wide lens with autofocus. A 32MP camera is used for selfies with an f/2.2 aperture and a 90° FoV.
Running on OriginOS 6, the iQOO 15 offers a suite of intelligent features including a smart writing assistant, voice control, universal search, and a gaming assistant that optimizes performance and network conditions in real time. Durability is built into the design, with IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance. The AR anti-reflective coating and fingerprint-resistant layers enhance usability and longevity.
The price of the iQOO 15 starts at CNY 4199 with the iQOO 15 King of Glory 10th Aniversary Edition priced at CNY 5499.
