The iQOO 15 Ultra is now official – it’s the first iQOO phone with an active cooling fan and it’s the first phone to deserve the “Ultra” moniker (previously, “Pro” models have been the top end).

The Ultra draws its power from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which is the same as the vanilla iQOO 15. However, there is an “Ice Dome” system – a fairly large 17x17mm fan that runs 0.315 CFM (cubic feet per minute). The chipset is paired with 10,667Mbps LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1. The Qualcomm chip is paired with the Q3 gaming chip that handles resolution upscaling and frame generation.

Along the gaming side of the Ultra, there are two 600Hz shoulder triggers to give you additional control (each supports customizable tap and swipe gestures). As well as dual-axis vibration motors and Dolby Atmos stereo speakers for immersive audio. And an RGB LED strip on the camera island on the back, of course. The phone has been tested with seven popular games and it maintained a steady 144fps during livestreaming. it’s the first one to run honor of kings At 144fps at Ultra Quality settings (and it can maintain a 41.5°C temperature measured on the back of the body).

The large 6.85″ 144Hz OLED display is a Samsung M14 LTPO panel. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR Vivid, and Zreal and offers 118% P3 coverage. Peak full screen brightness is 2,600 nits and DC dimming is supported. The screen offers a 480Hz multi-finger touch sampling rate for gaming.

The large 7,400mAh battery has 867Wh/L energy density (the phone is 8.7mm thick and weighs 227g). The phone supports 100W FlashCharge (55W PPS) and 40W wireless charging. For comparison, the vanilla iQOO 15 (8.1mm, 215g) has a 7,000mAh battery with similar charging capabilities.

Talking about the camera, the iQOO 15 Ultra sports a 50MP IMX921 1/1.56″ main camera (CIPA 4.5 OIS), a 50MP 3x telephoto camera (1/1.95″, f/2.65 lens with CIPA 4.5 OIS), and a 50MP 107° ultra-wide camera (1/2.76″, f/2.05). The selfie camera is a 32MP module with f/2.2 lens This is basically the same camera as the vanilla 15.

One surprising feature on the Ultra is the IP68/IP69 water resistance rating – despite having a cooling fan, the iQOO 15 Ultra offers full dust and water protection.

Other features worth mentioning are a new, faster ultrasonic fingerprint reader, NFC support, and three Wi-Fi antennas for stable connections (even if your hand gets in the way).
