This setup highlights the phone’s focus on gaming and multitasking. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is Qualcomm’s next-generation chipset, designed for improved power efficiency and advanced AI capabilities.
Additionally, the dedicated Q3 gaming chip is expected to optimize graphics and system performance, reducing lag and improving frame rates in demanding games.
The Q3 is basically marketed as a graphics card that enhances graphics rendering, enabling faster and more accurate visual performance. It allows realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections throughout the entire game scene, which is a first for mobile devices. The Q3 works alongside the phone’s main chipset to deliver this improved graphical experience.
Although Vivo has not officially revealed the phone’s specifications, popular Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station has shared detailed iQOO 15 Ultra specs in a Weibo post. With these chip specifications, the iQOO 15 Ultra is expected to target users looking for top-tier performance and gaming capabilities.
The source also revealed that the phone will feature Samsung’s M14 display, a 6.85-inch 2K flat screen with a 144 Hz refresh rate, indicating a focus on enhanced visuals and gaming performance.
Along with these, the source also reveals it will support 100W fast charging and up to a 7000 mAh battery, as GizmoChina has reported.
By opting for a flat display instead of a curved one, along with a large battery and ultra-fast charging support, the iQOO 15 Ultra aims to deliver a more immersive and responsive gaming experience, complemented by upgraded hardware for smoother performance.
