iQOO has officially introduced iQOO 15 smartphone in China, as it had promised.
Display
The phone pack a 6.85-inch 2K+ 144Hz 8T LTPO flat screen that uses Samsung’s M14 luminous material, and has 2160Hz full high-frequency dimming, 3200Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, a 360Hz multi-finger touch sampling rate, up to 2600 nits brightness in HBM mode, and up to 6000 nits peak brightness.
It has world’s first 2K LEAD OLED technology, offering lower power consumption, higher brightness, improved environmental friendliness, and a slimmer design and world’s first Pleasing Eye Protection 2.0, featuring non-polarized natural light display, hardware-level gaming eye protection, and the industry’s lowest screen brightness of 1 nit, said the company.
Performance and Gaming
The phone is powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC with optimizations by working with Qualcomm, and claims 4.38 million points on AnTuTu 11. The gaming chip Q3 offers industry’s only true 2K gaming quality, 2K+144 FPS concurrent playback, and support for seven official games with native super-resolution and super-frame, said iQOO. The iQOO 15 supports up to 16GB LPDDR5X Ultra Pro RAM and up to 1TB UFS 4.1 storage.
The iQOO 15 packs the industry’s largest 8000mm single-layer VC, containing 200 million nano-graphene oxide particles, improves heat dissipation efficiency by 5%. Two layers of high-thermal-conductivity graphite are built into the screen and battery, with a thermal conductivity of 2000W/mK and a heat transfer area exceeding 14,000mm².
This enhanced heat dissipation results in cooler output. During a one-hour heavy-load run in “Genshin Impact,” the maximum temperature on the back of the device was only 39.3°C, with a temperature difference of just 1.5°C between the hot and cold ends, said iQOO.
The phone has energy aura and screen lighting effects resonate front to back for ultimate immersion, 1511 War Drum Master speakers support ultra-sounding gaming range and uses industry’s first Warhammer MAX dual-axis vibration motor.
