Smartphone brands are reportedly gearing up to launch new flagship devices in China by the end of this year, and iQOO is no exception. The brand is expected to introduce a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2-powered smartphone in Q4 2025. In previous years, iQOO’s numbered flagship series always included both a standard and a Pro model. However, the iQOO 13 launched without a Pro version last year. Speculation suggests that its successor will mark the return of the Pro variant, offering both standard and Pro editions.

Interestingly, rumours indicate that iQOO might skip the number 14 and name its next flagship the iQOO 15, as the number 4 is considered unlucky in some Asian cultures. Adding to this speculation, a recent leak from tipster Smart Pikachu has revealed key specifications while referring to the device as the iQOO 15 instead of iQOO 14.

According to the tipster, the iQOO 15 will feature a flat OLED panel with a 2K resolution, eye protection features, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner. The device is said to pack a massive 7,000mAh battery and include a periscope telephoto camera. While the leak does not explicitly mention it, the iQOO 15 is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, which is set to launch in October this year.

However, this leak seems to primarily refer to the iQOO 15 Pro rather than the standard iQOO 15. This assumption is based on an earlier revelation by tipster Experience More, who previously stated that the standard version lacks a periscope camera, whereas the Pro model includes it.
