iQOO has officially started teasing its next flagship smartphone the iQOO 15. The brand has shared the first look at the device’s design, while also opening pre-orders in China ahead of its expected October launch.
iQOO 15 Design Teased
The teaser reveals the iQOO 15 sporting a stylish design with an RGB-lit camera module ring on the back. This design language looks familiar, as the earlier iQOO 13 also featured the “Halo light” around its camera module. The brand seems to be refining rather than reinventing its design this year.
From the teaser, it also looks like the iQOO 15 will feature a flat display, sticking to a modern yet practical design. Confirmed details include the use of Samsung’s 2K AMOLED panel, ensuring top-notch visuals for gamers and multimedia users.
