On Chinese social platform Weibo, iQOO has shared four camera samples taken with the upcoming iQOO 15, highlighting its telephoto and ultrawide capabilities. The photos showcase a tower at varying zoom levels, with one sensor dubbed a “super periscope telephoto lens” that can push up to 100x digital zoom. The handset is also expected to carry a triple rear camera setup, including a 50MP primary sensor (1/1.5-inch) and a 50MP periscope telephoto unit.

Under the hood, the phone will run on Qualcomm’s newly launched Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with iQOO’s in-house Q3 chip for performance tuning. A huge 7,000mAh battery could power the device, with support for 100W wired charging and possible wireless charging.
Other expected features include dual speakers, an X-axis vibration motor for better haptics, and full waterproof protection.
The teaser images show the phone in a new “Lingyun” colourway, blending red and silver. The iQOO 15 will sport a triple rear camera setup housed in a slightly raised module, highlighted with polished accents that add to its premium look and feel.
iQOO has already confirmed that its next flagship – iQOO 15 – will debut in China in October. Reports also hint at an India launch soon after, likely around November or December. With its flagship-grade hardware and camera upgrades, the iQOO 15 could be a strong challenger to rivals like the Xiaomi 17 and the upcoming OnePlus 15.
