iQOO 15 specs leaked: What we expect to see from the next performance-centric flagship
iQOO 13 has stood out as one of the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered flagship smartphones in the Indian market. Now, early leaks have begun to surface about its potential successor, expected to launch as the iQOO 15. According to Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, a series of new details have emerged about what the iQOO 15 might offer when it debuts later this year. Digital Chat Station says that the iQOO 15 could offer a 2.2K display with a large and straight (flat) screen. The iQOO 13 also offered a flat display, so it would be nothing out of the ordinary if the iQOO 15 also offers a flat display. On the display, it would actually deliver a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which will be quite reminiscent of the iQOO 13 as well, because the iQOO 13 too comes with an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. Coming to the optics, Digital Chat Station says that the phone could feature a 50-megapixel 3x midsole periscope lens, which would certainly boost the camera appeal of the iQOO 15. For reference, the iQOO 13 featured a 50-megapixel telephoto camera as well, but with 2x optical zoom, alongside a 50-megapixel main wide camera and a 50-megapixel ultrawide shooter. The tipster has also claimed that the rest of the cameras on the iQOO 15 could be 50-megapixels as well. Reports have also claim that the iQOO 15 phone could feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, which would continue the tradition of iQOO offering high-end internals with its flagships. In addition, reports also claim that it could offer a large battery, possibly a 7,000 mAh battery and a 6.85-inch LTPO panel. As for the launch in India, it is still up in the air because there is no information so far, including details about a potential China launch. However, if the past is any indicator, the iQOO 13 did launch in the Indian market last year in October, so an Indian launch could follow a similar timeline.

More details emerge about the iQOO 15
Vlad, 12 July 2025 Back in May we heard that the iQOO 15 would have a 6.85-inch QHD+ Samsung-made flat LIPO OLED screen, and today the same prolific leaker going by Digital Chat Station on Weibo is back with more details. The phone will have a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, something the iQOO 12 had but the iQOO 13 gave up on, sadly (it only had a non-periscope 2x optical zoom telephoto). iQOO 13 The iQOO 15 also has an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, vivo's self-developed independent display chip, as well as support for 100W wired charging. iQOO is apparently still deciding whether to include wireless charging as well, but it does seem to be leaning towards adding this feature according to DCS. Alongside the periscope, it was one of the few things missing from the iQOO 13 if one wanted to declare it a true all-out flagship device. Of course, the iQOO 15 is expected to be powered by Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC, due to be made official in September. vivo iQOO 12 256GB 12GB RAM ₹ 42,999 ₹ 42,999 512GB 16GB RAM ₹ 44,998 vivo iQOO 13 256GB 12GB RAM ₹ 54,998 ₹ 54,998 512GB 16GB RAM ₹ 59,998 Source (in Chinese)

Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs iPhone Fold — Samsung just put Apple on notice
Somewhere deep in Apple's labs they're rumored to be cooking up an iPhone Fold for release next year. But something tells me their engineers came away from the Galaxy Unpacked event yesterday (July 9) feeling a bit nervous. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 introduced at Unpacked literally reinvents the foldable for me, and Apple's first foldable could already be in trouble if they're not able to top this device. For starters, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is shockingly thin and light. I had a chance to review the original Galaxy Fold back in 2019, and this new foldable is nearly half as thick. We're talking 8.9mm when the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is folded and 4.2mm when it's unfolded. Rumor has it that Apple is developing the iPhone 17 Air for this fall as a precursor to the iPhone Fold. The company apparently wants to nail the thin form factor ahead of a possible foldable, which makes sense. According to analyst Ming Chi-Kuo, the iPhone Fold — which could begin production as early as this fall — is expected be 9 to 9.5mm thick when folded and 4.5 to 4.8mm thick when unfolded. These dimensions would be well behind Samsung's Z Fold 7. So if this rumor is true, it may be time to go back to the drawing board. How about the displays? Kuo has stated that Apple is looking at a 7.8-inch panel when unfolded, which again would be smaller than the main 8-inch display on the fold 7. (The Galaxy Z Fold 6 released a year ago had a 7.6-inch screen.) Another leaker, Digital Chat Station, says that the iPhone Fold display is 7.58 inches. And I hope that's not the case. At least Kuo believes that the iPhone Fold's main display will be crease-free, which would be quite the feat. The Z Fold 7's screen still has a crease, though it's not as prominent as in previous versions of Samsung's phone. Meanwhile, the cover display of the iPhone Fold is tipped to measure 5.5 inches. That's puny compared to the 6.5-inch front panel on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Frankly, I wouldn't want Apple's foldable if the outside display were that small — there's a reason why the iPhone mini went away. Here's a rumor I hope is definitely wrong. The same leaker Digital Chat Station says that the iPhone Fold will sport only two 48MP rear cameras. I don't know if that means Apple will forego an ultrawide camera or a telephoto lens in this scenario. But I'd hate to see Apple not go for a big zoom. After all, when you have that large of a viewfinder, you want the freedom to crop. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 boasts a 200MP main camera. Of course, megapixels aren't everything, but this shooter combined with Samsung's ProVisual engine should be able to go toe-to-toe with whatever Apple brings to the table. Honestly, I was surprised with the Galaxy S25 Ultra beat the iPhone 16 Pro Max in my photo face-off. So it's certainly possible that Samsung could win the foldable photo war, too. Apple is so far behind in the AI wars that it is not giving a timetable for the new and improved Siri other than 2026. That's not a good sign when it's already lagging behind its rivals. And that competition includes Google Gemini, which plays a very big role in the Galaxy Z Fold 7's AI features. You can summon the assistant at any time with a long press of the Z Fold's side button, and it offers a really helpful multimodal. You can use Gemini to ask questions live with your voice in a conversational style, as well as share your live camera view. For example, if you point the Galaxy Z Fold 7 at a concert calendar poster, you can then easily turn that into a calendar entry. Or you could use it to figure out what to make for dinner based on what's in your fridge or help you pick out an outfit for the day. The Z Fold 7 is so smart you can even get in-game help buy simply sharing your screen with Gemini and it will come back with tips — without forcing you to leave the game. To be fair. Apple's Visual Intelligence feature can do some of the above, but Siri is not yet smart enough to talk with you about what you're seeing in real time. Apple is reportedly looking at possible partnerships with the likes of Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI for a serious Siri AI boost. And there's even been reports of a possible Perplexity acquisition. But there's nothing concrete right now. As strong as the Z Fold 7 looks on paper and in person, it has some notable drawbacks — and that's even before I've done my full review. The biggest con is that $2,000 price Samsung now charges in the U.S. That's a serious chunk of change for a foldable phone and $100 more than the already pricey Z Fold 6. Bloomberg's Gurman has reported that the iPhone Fold could cost around $2,000 as well, and we've seen another rumor that Apple could charging between $2,100 and $2,300. There's still a good amount of time before 2026 and none of the rumored iPhone Fold specs I've mentioned are set in stone. So it could certainly turn out to be a much better foldable than expected. But after taking what seemed like a gap year with the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Samsung has really shook things up with the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The design is so good I could actually see myself using a foldable phone as my daily driver for the first time. And the AI features are well optimized for the larger display. Where Apple could potentially surge ahead is the software experience, especially when it comes to multitasking. Borrowing some elements from the windowing system in iPadOS 26 wouldn't be a bad idea. But given that Apple is reportedly already in the prototyping stage for the iPhone Fold, it really has to hustle to make a foldable that doesn't look like an also-ran.
