iQOO will unveil the iQOO 15 on October 20<\/a> at an event in Shenzhen, China. The brand recently shared some pictures of the iQOO 15, revealing its color options and giving us a fair idea of the smartphone’s design. Now, the iQOO 15 has appeared in an unboxing video posted by AnTuTu on Weibo, which gives us a closer look at the flagship.<\/p>\n

We are looking at the Chinese iQOO 15’s Legend Edition, and the video is in Chinese, which we don’t understand, but non-Chinese speakers can still gather some information.<\/p>\n

The iQOO 15<\/a> comes in a black-colored retail box, and its rear panel, covered with an AG frosted glass and having an AF coating, features the “Monster Inside” text along with the iQOO logo and a blue-red colored design highlighting iQOO’s partnership with BMW M Motorsport for its Legend Editions.<\/p>\n

You can also see that the iQOO 15’s back panel is flatter compared to its predecessor, the iQOO 13<\/a>. The camera island on the rear houses three cameras, and its design is similar to the iQOO 13’s, but the LEDs are now placed around the island ring.<\/p>\n

iQOO 15’s color options<\/p>\n

The iQOO 15 features a punch-hole display on the front, and you can also see antenna lines on the phone’s frames, confirming a metal build. On the iQOO 15’s right frame is the power button and volume rocker, and at the bottom is the USB-C port, flanked by a microphone, a speaker grille, and a SIM card slot. Up top is another speaker, joined by the secondary mic and an IR blaster.<\/p>\n

The retail box includes what appears to be a high-quality protective case, and we might see other color models come bundled with color-matching cases, which would be nice since the iQOO 13 came with a transparent case.<\/p>\n

That said, the one thing we find disappointing is that the iQOO 15 will come bundled with a 100W FlashCharger, which insinuates the smartphone will have a maximum charging speed of 100W – a downgrade compared to the iQOO 13’s 120W charging speed.<\/p>\n

Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station had previously said that the iQOO 15 will have 100W wired charging, and the inclusion of a 100W power adapter in the phone’s retail package pretty much confirms that. It’s worth mentioning, though, that the iQOO 15 is rumored to pack a 7,000 mAh battery<\/a>, which, if true, would be a welcome upgrade since the iQOO 13’s global and Chinese models came with a 6,150 mAh battery, while the Indian version had a 6,000 mAh cell under the hood.<\/p>\n

You can watch the unboxing video below.<\/p>\n

iQOO hasn’t shared a detailed specs sheet of the iQOO 15, but it has confirmed that the smartphone will come with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC<\/a>, freshly unveiled<\/a> OriginOS 6<\/a>, a 6.85″ 144Hz 2K display<\/a>, and a Q3 gaming chip. Additionally, the iQOO 15 is confirmed to have IP68 and IP69 ratings and support wireless charging.<\/p>\n
