Update: iQOO has confirmed that the iQOO 15 Ultra will be introduced in China in early February 2026. iQOO product manager confirmed that the phone is targeted at ultimate gamers.
Regarding the phone, he said:
A phone exclusively for them, understanding their anxiety and tension over 0.1-second latency, their pursuit of ultimate micro-management, their obsession with perfect every frame of their live streams, and their pure love for gaming culture. As the industry’s first
Ultra-performing phone, it’s the culmination of seven years of dedicated work tailored for them! It’s not an iteration, nor an upgrade, but a reconstruction! We’ve reconstructed performance imagination, reconstructed the limits of control, reconstructed the game streaming experience, and reconstructed technological aesthetics, allowing this generation of chips to unleash next-generation performance. It’s our four perfect answers to the ultimate gamers, the culmination of seven years of exploration.
Holding it in your hand, it’s not just noticeably different; its power has never felt so natural and comfortable. Like the Monkey King wielding his golden cudgel, it allows you to achieve a state of “flow” where you become one with the machine, time disappears, and you can focus solely on your pure reflexes and control.
Longing will surely lead you to it! In early February, Ultra will arrive, born for the ultimate gamer!
Earlier: iQOO stopped launching Pro models of its flagships for the last two years, and after the single iQOO 13 model as its flagship in 2024, and iQOO 15 in 2025, the company has now confirmed the launch of iQOO 15 Ultra, the company’s first Ultra series.
In China, the company says that the phone will launch before the Spring Festival, which starts on February 17th. According to leaker Digital Chat Station, the phone is tentatively scheduled for early February.
Based on earlier reports, the phone is designed as a “productivity tool” for a specific group of people. This “specific group” is likely to be game streamers and other professionals in the gaming industry, so the iQOO 15 Ultra could be a gaming phone instead of a camera-centric model like other Ultra models from OPPO, vivo and Xiaomi.
Last month, the leaker hinted at a gaming phone that will feature an upgraded active cooling fan and shoulder buttons, boasting a brand-new futuristic design and being the industry’s first performance Ultra. He added that the fan design is very powerful, likely the largest and most efficient in the industry, claiming to allow this generation of chips to unleash performance close to the next generation.
We should know more details about the iQOO 15 Ultra in the coming weeks.
