iQOO 15 Ultra could be iQOO’s most gaming-oriented flagship yet, if a fresh leak turns out to be accurate. A Weibo post from tipster Digital Chat Station claims the device may launch in China before the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year). With the 2026 Spring Festival expected to begin on February 17, 2026, the rumored timeline indicates a debut ahead of mid-February.
iQOO 15 Ultra Launch Timeline (Leaked)
The leak places the iQOO 15 Ultra’s introduction before the holiday period, a window that often sees brands push high-profile launches. This would also position the handset above the iQOO 15 in the lineup, adding a more premium option for buyers who prioritize performance and gaming extras.

A major talking point is an active heat dissipation system that reportedly includes a cooling fan. Active cooling is designed to help maintain stable performance during long gaming sessions by reducing thermal throttling. The phone is also tipped to feature shoulder triggers, which can offer faster, more precise inputs in shooters and action titles by assigning key controls like aiming and firing to dedicated trigger zones.
Display and Performance Details (Leaked)
The iQOO 15 Ultra is said to arrive with a flat 2K LTPO OLED display, possibly measuring 6.85 inches and potentially sourced from Samsung. LTPO panels can dynamically adjust refresh rate, balancing smoothness and battery efficiency.
Under the hood, the device may use the SMM8850 chipset, widely believed to be Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Notably, the iQOO 15 is also tipped to run the same processor, so the Ultra’s advantage may come from cooling, controls, and other hardware enhancements.
Charging, Durability, and Camera Rumours (Leaked)
Additional leaks suggest wireless charging and an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. Separately, earlier testing chatter mentioned a 50MP periscope telephoto sensor (0.8µm pixels, 1/1.95-inch), hinting at improved zoom capabilities.
