For the first time in iQOO’s flagship series, the phone will support wireless charging. It is also expected to come with a large battery of over 7,000mAh.
The iQOO 15 will run on the Snapdragon Elite Gen 5 chipset, which has a 2+6 core setup and can reach a top speed of 4.6GHz.

According to the leak, the phone has a QNSS super rendering engine to provide high-quality, console-like graphics and performance on the phone. It has also revealed that the chip is made using ultra-low power technology, which helps in super resolution, ultra-frame rates, and ray tracing.
