iQOO has launched the iQOO 15T as the brand’s first T-series device. The phone uses a different chipset from the regular iQOO 15 and iQOO 15 Ultra. Instead of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the iQOO 15T runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 Monster Edition chipset.
Design and Display
The iQOO 15T features a 6.82-inch 8T LTPO AMOLED display with a 2K resolution of 3,168 x 1,440 pixels. The screen supports a 144Hz refresh rate and reaches 4,500 nits of peak local brightness.
The display also includes an integrated 16MP front camera and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The phone comes in black, white, and gradient color options.
Internals and Software
The iQOO 15T is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Monster Edition chipset.
This is a custom version of the standard Dimensity 9500. It is paired with iQOO’s in-house Q3 gaming chip, which is designed to improve frame rate stability.
The phone can be configured with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.
The software side is handled by OriginOS 6 based on Android 16. The phone also comes with IP68 and IP69 ingress protection.
Cameras
The iQOO 15T is the first phone from the brand to feature a 200MP main camera.
The main camera uses a 1/1.56 inch sensor with an f/1.88 aperture and optical image stabilization. The second rear camera is a 50MP ultrawide lens.
On the front, the phone has a 16MP camera integrated into the display.
Battery and Pricing
The iQOO 15T packs an 8,000mAh SiC battery. It supports 100W wired charging, but wireless charging is not included.
The base 12GB and 256GB models start at around $558. The top model with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage is priced at around $836.
