iQOO was among the first manufacturers to release a flagship smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The company paired this SoC with a decently sized battery, which has a capacity of 6,150 mAh. As for the successor, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station reports that the upcoming gaming phone will have an even larger battery.
To be precise, the credible leaker notes that the iQOO 15 will feature a "7K-class" battery, which suggests that it will be around the 7,000 mAh mark. Of course, iQOO's upcoming flagship wouldn't be the first gaming phone to come with such a high-capacity battery. The RedMagic 10S Pro, for example, launched with a 7,050 mAh battery.
Now, even though the iQOO 15 will reportedly see a battery capacity upgrade, the charging speed is said to take a toll. More specifically, Digital Chat Station reports that the upcoming flagship will have support for 100 W fast charging, down from the 120 W wired charging support found in the current-gen model (145 W Ugreen 25k Nexode power bank curr. $74.99 on Amazon).
As for the other rumored specs of the iQOO 15, past reports hint that it will come with a 50 MP 3x periscope, another upgrade from the current-gen flagship, and the phone is reported to sport a straight "2K" screen. The company is also expected to launch a Pro model, which could offer upgraded wireless charging.
