Evidence-based overview

iQOO 15 Ultra technical sheet

The vivo iQOO 15 Ultra is an Android 16 phone built around high-end documented hardware. It uses the 3 nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, an octa-core CPU reaching 4.6 GHz, Adreno 840 graphics, 24 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and up to 1,024 GB of UFS 4.1 storage. Storage is not expandable, while the supplied data states that Google services and direct OS updates are not supported.

Its 6.85-inch AMOLED display has 1,440 × 3,168 pixels, a 144 Hz refresh rate, 480 Hz touch sampling, and a stated peak brightness of 8,000 nits. LTPO, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and DC dimming are also listed. The 7,400 mAh battery supports 100 W wired charging, 40 W wireless charging, reverse charging, and bypass charging. There is not enough evidence to describe real-world endurance.

The camera system includes a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS, and a 50 MP ultrawide camera. The main camera records up to 8K at 30 fps and slow motion up to 960 fps. It suits users who prioritize specified hardware, a fast display, and multiple camera perspectives, provided the 227 g weight and lack of Google services fit their priorities.
