Highlight Specs (Rumoured)
- 6.3‑inch AMOLED display, high refresh rate
- Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or Dimensity 9500+
- 7,000mAh battery, up to 100W fast charging
- Compact flagship design
- Launch: 2026 (Mini & Ultra), 2025 (Standard)
iQOO is preparing a big launch for its next flagship lineup — the iQOO 15 series. This time, the company will not stop at just one or two models. Instead, it plans to release three versions:
- iQOO 15 (standard model)
- iQOO 15 Ultra (top‑end flagship)
- iQOO 15 Mini (compact flagship)
iQOO 15 Mini — Small Size, Big Power
According to well‑known tipster Digital Chat Station, the iQOO 15 Mini will feature a 6.3‑inch flat display — perfect for those who prefer a phone that fits easily in one hand.
Under the hood, iQOO is reportedly considering two powerful chipsets:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2
- MediaTek Dimensity 9500+
Both are flagship‑grade processors, capable of handling heavy gaming, multitasking, and demanding apps with ease.
Massive Battery in a Compact Body
One of the most surprising leaks is the huge 7,000mAh battery inside the Mini. This is far above the usual capacity for compact phones and could mean two days of battery life for most users. Fast charging is also expected, possibly up to 100W, making it a true all‑day performer.
Launch Timeline
- iQOO 15 (standard) → Expected in October 2025. It will likely be the first phone to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2.
- iQOO 15 Ultra & iQOO 15 Mini → Planned for the first half of 2026.
At the moment, there’s no confirmation if the Ultra and Mini will launch outside China. The standard iQOO 15, however, is expected to be sold globally.
Targeting Multiple Segments
By offering three models, iQOO is clearly aiming to cover more market segments:
- Mini → For users who want flagship performance in a smaller size.
- Standard → For mainstream flagship buyers.
- Ultra → For tech enthusiasts who want the very best features, possibly including an internal cooling fan for gaming.
Following a Growing Trend
The iQOO 15 Mini follows a rising trend among Chinese smartphone brands — releasing compact versions of their flagships. This approach appeals to users who want top‑tier specs without the bulk of large devices.
Meanwhile, the iQOO 15 Ultra is expected to push boundaries with premium materials, advanced cooling, and possibly new camera innovations.
If these leaks hold true, the iQOO 15 Mini could be a game‑changer for compact flagship lovers — combining huge battery life, top‑end performance, and portability in one package.
