iQOO is getting ready to launch the iQOO 15 Ultra in early February, and early details suggest gaming will once again be a major focus. Among the headline features is a new take on shoulder controls.
Instead of traditional physical triggers, the iQOO 15 Ultra is expected to debut capacitive touch-based shoulder buttons, which iQOO refers to as “super-sensitive touch shoulder buttons.” These sit along the left and right edges of the display area and are designed to be used when the phone is held horizontally, allowing fingers to rest naturally during gameplay.
According to iQOO, the touch buttons support a 600Hz sampling rate, along with dual independent control chips to reduce input delay. There’s also an anti-sweat algorithm in place, aimed at maintaining accuracy during longer gaming sessions. Haptic feedback is handled by a linear motor, offering vibration cues without relying on moving parts, which also means no mechanical wear over time.
Popular FPS titles are expected to ship with built-in presets, while more advanced mapping options will be available for players who want to fine-tune controls or set up shortcuts.
Outside of the shoulder buttons, the iQOO 15 Ultra is shaping up to be a familiar high-end gaming flagship. It’s also tipped to feature an active cooling fan, a large 7400mAh battery, upgraded stereo speakers, and a 2K Samsung display. Camera hardware is also said to include a 50MP 3x periscope telephoto with CIPA 4.5 stabilization.
With its focus on alternative input methods and sustained performance, the iQOO 15 Ultra looks set to target serious mobile gamers once again. More official details should surface as the February launch gets closer.
