In just a few days, Vivo will unveil the iQOO 15 Ultra, a brand-new performance flagship that will combine a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor with an active cooling system and up to 24 GB of RAM. Vivo has now released a teaser video of the smartphone, while a leaker has revealed its key specs.

The brand-new Vivo iQOO 15 Ultra is likely to rival even the RedMagic 11 Pro, as Vivo combines a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with an active fan in order to maintain the chip's high performance under sustained load, such as during gaming.

Vivo is now showcasing the design of its performance flagship in a teaser video (embedded below). According to the video, the iQOO 15 Ultra features a modern design with a slim aluminum frame, heavily rounded corners, a square camera module with three lenses, and a back with a striking honeycomb pattern. A unique feature is the RGB LED strip in the camera module, which presumably indicates incoming messages. Touch-sensitive shoulder buttons are visible on the frame.
 


Vivo has already confirmed on a teaser website that the iQOO 15 Ultra will be officially unveiled on February 4, 2026. Meanwhile, reliable leaker Digital Chat Station has already uncovered the most important details about its specifications. Accordingly, Vivo is combining the currently fastest Snapdragon chip for smartphones with up to 24 GB of RAM and a maximum of 1 TB of flash storage.

Vivo is expected to include a 32 MP selfie camera and three 50 MP cameras on the back. The 6.85-inch display is reportedly based on a modern LTPO AMOLED panel, and the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is said to be invisibly integrated into the display. The battery is particularly large with a capacity of 7,400 mAh and can be charged via a USB-C cable at up to 100 watts.
