iQOO appears to be preparing another high-performance smartphone for the Chinese market, and early leaks suggest it could be among the last in its lineup to adopt MediaTek’s premium-tier chipset, the Dimensity 9500. While the final branding remains unclear, speculation ranges from a Neo-series device to a possible iQOO 15T. Details were shared via tipster Digital Chat Station, who posted key specifications on Weibo; That said, some aspects, especially the name and camera setup, are still in flux.

New iQOO device with Dimensity 9500 SoC

At the heart of This product is the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, which already powers a host of Android flagships. If accurate, this would place the phone in direct competition with other performance-centric models such as the newly launched Redmi K90 Max and the upcoming OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra.

Interestingly, the leak suggests this could be the final iQOO sub-brand device to adopt the chip, which makes sense as the new generation premium-tier chipsets will be launched in a few months. The upcoming iQOO device is tipped to feature a 6.83-inch flat OLED display with 2K resolution, aligning it with premium flagships. An ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor is also expected, signaling a step up from optical solutions commonly seen in mid-segment phones.

Battery capacity could be one of its standout features. The leak points to a rated 7,845mAh unit, likely marketed as 8,000mAh, which would significantly outsize most premium-tier batteries currently hovering in the 6,000-7,000mAh range. On the build front, the phone is said to feature a metal middle frame along with IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

This device may include a 200MP primary camera, though this detail is not yet finalised. This is interesting as iQOO has primarily focused on performance and endurance, but it could be adding emphasis on cameras as well.

If the leaked specifications hold, this iQOO device could appeal to a specific segment of people who prioritise performance for gaming and heavy multitasking. An 8,000mAh-class battery could be a major draw for those who need endurance, and adding to that is a 2K OLED panel, making it perfect for multimedia and gaming. That said, as with many early leaks, the specs are subject to change, so it’s best to wait for official details before making any decision.
