iQOO 15 Ultra Launch Date
The iQOO 15 Ultra launch date hasn’t been given as a single exact day yet, but the brand has officially confirmed it will debut in China before the 2026 Spring Festival, placing the launch in late January to early February. Anvin (@ZionsAnvin) shared on X that the iQOO 15 Ultra has been officially teased and is expected to launch in China in the first half of February 2026.
That’s close enough to start seriously planning upgrades. In this guide, the focus is on the confirmed iQOO 15 Ultra launch window, what leaks suggest about its specs, and why it’s being hyped as a gaming‑first flagship.
Several reports describe it as an “early February” launch, with teasers now live on Weibo and Chinese tech circles treating it as the brand’s big pre‑festival flagship drop. In simple terms, this is not a distant, half‑year‑away product it’s a “start planning your next upgrade” kind of timing, especially if the standard iQOO 15 already caught your eye but you were secretly waiting for the Ultra.
Features, Specifications, and More
The iQOO 15 Ultra is positioned as a performance‑focused “Ultra” flagship built around gaming, cooling, and camera upgrades on top of the already powerful iQOO 15 base model. It is not just a small tweak; the leaks and teasers point to a serious step‑up for people who live on high refresh‑rate games and long sessions.
Key expected specs and features include:
Display & design
-
6.85‑inch 2K LTPO OLED panel (likely Samsung), with up to 144Hz–165Hz refresh rate for smoother gaming and scrolling.
-
Slim, premium build with IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance, putting it firmly in modern flagship territory.
Performance & cooling
-
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset (SMM8850), the same top‑end chip used in the regular iQOO 15 but tuned for even more sustained performance.
-
An upgraded active cooling system, including a built‑in cooling fan and large vapor chamber, designed to handle long gaming sessions without the usual thermal throttling.
-
Shoulder triggers for better control in FPS and racing titles, reinforcing its gaming‑phone personality without going full “RGB spaceship.”
Cameras
-
Triple rear camera setup with 50MP main + 50MP ultra‑wide + 50MP periscope telephoto, with the periscope lens reportedly using a large 1/1.95‑inch sensor.
-
The Ultra has been repeatedly linked to a new periscope module, hinting at a stronger zoom story than the regular iQOO 15.
Battery & charging
-
Around 7,000mAh battery (matching or slightly refining the iQOO 15’s massive pack).
-
100W wired fast charging plus 50W wireless charging, which means topping up from low to usable should still feel ridiculously quick.
Software & extras
-
OriginOS 6 based on Android 16, with the usual iQOO gaming tools, live‑stream assistant, and performance modes baked in.
-
Strong gaming focus, but still packaged like a mainstream flagship rather than a niche “gamer‑only” design.
Debayan Roy (@Gadgetsdata) confirmed on X that the iQOO 15 Ultra is officially set to launch soon.
At the moment, all official confirmations are for China only, with no concrete global or India launch date announced yet. Given how iQOO has handled earlier flagships, it would be reasonable to expect a staggered rollout, but until there is a specific regional announcement, everything outside China remains “wait and watch.”
For anyone planning a 2026 upgrade, the iQOO 15 Ultra is shaping up as a serious option: huge battery, monster chipset, cooling fan, shoulder triggers, and a camera setup that doesn’t feel like an afterthought, basically, a gaming beast that still behaves like an everyday flagship when not in a match.
