iQOO 15 specs leaked: What we expect to see from the next performance-centric flagship
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.

BIG tension for Indian companies as Trump allows China to..., Chinese companies can now...
(File) China semiconductor industry: In a major decision that could severely impact India's ambitions to domestically produce semiconductor chips, the Donald Trump administration has lifted curbs on the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software to China, allowing American EDA giants such as Cadence Design Systems (San Jose), Siemens EDA (Wilsonville), and Synopsys (Sunnyvale), to resume operations with Chinese firms. How US decision could hamper India's chip design ambitions? Industry experts have warned this development is likely to impact India's EDA sector, and the country need to ramp up its domestic chip design capabilities to offset the overwhelming competition from China. 'The strengthening capabilities of China's industry could create increased competitive dynamics, not only for India's EDA sector but also across the wider electronics and semiconductor industry,' The Economic Times quoted Ruchir Dixit, chairperson of the India Electronics & Semiconductor Association (IESA) board of directors, as saying. Dixit added that while nobody thought of software as a supply chain problem, until a few months ago, now its clear that this is indeed the case. 'It includes anything that enables creation and employment in India'. On whether the US move could result in companies reconsidering their China Plus One' strategy, he said the firms evaluating India for EDA or related functions might now reassess the timing of their investments. Notably, many industry insiders have brushed aside these concerns, with Shankar Krishnamoorthy, chief product development officer at Synopsys, stating that his company doesn't anticipate that the US would place similar curbs as China on India, citing the close ties between Washington and New Delhi. Why China could become a major player in semiconductor industry? However, experts have warned that China could zoom past India and other countries in semiconductor sector as the renewed access to key design software would allow Beijing to accelerate its R&D and manufacturing efforts, which would intensify the global race for market share and foreign investment, particularly in design and packaging. 'India must move faster on chip design. With the US easing EDA export restrictions for China, the global playing field is shifting,' ET quoted Kunal Chaudhary, partner and co-leader of EY India's Inbound Investment Group as saying. Chaudhary said India must develop its own chip design software which has become a strategic necessity in the current scenario. He also stressed on the need for targeted investment in R&D, intellectual property, and advanced skill development. Another expert, Kathir Thandavarayan, partner at Deloitte India, noted that the US' decision to remove EDA software restrictions will allow Chinese firms to boost their advanced chip design efforts, a key requirement for cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing. Kathir noted that India accounts for 20 percent of the world's semiconductor design engineers, playing a vital role in advanced node design. Currently, the country is focused on meet around 75–80 percent of global demand for mature nodes, and aims to develop an end-to-end value chain in the coming future. Where does India stand? Meanwhile, Dixit noted that no EDA company is part of the Indian government's Design-Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme. 'They are all design companies, people who will make or design some silicon or some printed circuit board (PCB) that will go into a system using EDA,' he said, adding that EDA majors like Siemens, Cadence and Synopsys make it difficult for smaller companies and startups to do proper R&D. 'They don't have enough people to solve a problem if it is a very complicated problem,' he said, citing this as the reason why there aren't many EDA firms in India which offer a wider range of services.

Our homegrown talent to power electronics leap
Recent reports of foreign engineers being withdrawn from India's electronics supply chain have triggered concern. But let's not confuse the symptom with the real issue. The question isn't who's entering or exiting — it's whether India's domestic talent pool is strong enough to power the country's electronics manufacturing ambitions. I've had the privilege of building India's electronics story from the ground up with some like-minded people — starting with Nokia, where we brought in over 33 global suppliers, and now at Zetwerk. But my roots go deeper — I'm a fifth-generation Chennaiite, with my family in Madras since the 1880s. I've seen the evolution of Indian industry firsthand, and one thing is clear: we have the people. But we must skill and scale them differently. The electronics industry needs more than engineers. It needs system thinkers who understand both individual processes and how they fit together. Let me illustrate this. At our factory launch in Tamil Nadu, IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw visited and struck up a conversation with a young associate on the line — they were soon chatting fluently in Odia. This wasn't a photo-op. It was a reflection of our mobile, multilingual, and motivated workforce. India is a full-spectrum employee base. From Bihar to Odisha to Rajasthan, young workers are showing up across factories — ready to learn. You Can Also Check: Chennai AQI | Weather in Chennai | Bank Holidays in Chennai | Public Holidays in Chennai But we need to scale talent in critical roles for electronics and mobile phone assembly. We need: SMT (Surface Mount Technology) line operators Cleanroom and ESD-safe assembly technicians Test engineers trained for 5G systems Automation specialists and robotic cell programmers Equipment and tooling maintenance experts Program managers and supply chain professionals who can manage material dynamics and just-in-time inventory For instance, while India has strong support for standard machines, special purpose machines (SPMs) — often used for advanced testing or calibration — require targeted training and vendor support. In 2005, while at Nokia, I called a meeting with electrical equipment vendors and asked a simple question: "Where is your support team going to be based?" If the answer was "outside India," they were out. Then I asked, "Where will your L2 spare parts — the more expensive, non-consumable ones — be supplied from?" With help from companies like NMTronics, we built that local capability. That's the model we need to replicate today. At Nokia, we sent our test engineers to Korea for three weeks, where they were trained — and even hosted by a friend who cooked them vegetarian meals. The point is: if the machine is Japanese, we send engineers to Japan. If it's Chinese, we arrange short-term stints with a clear process. But building strong local bench strength is essential. We saw this in action during the transition from 4G to 5G phones amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Test systems were made by the team in India and validated remotely — and our Indian team managed it successfully. We don't need long-term dependency on training from abroad. If temporary support is needed, fine. But let's ensure knowledge transfer is built in. We already have successful precedents. Nokia localized 35% of phone components in India — long before PLI. Today, with better policy support, we can go further. Here's how: Electronics-specific skilling academies with curricula co-created by industry Certification programs benchmarked to global standards, much like how India's software boom standardized Java and Python Twinning programs with Taiwan, Japan, Korea — sending engineers for hands-on training National registry of certified electronics technicians and process engineers Incentives for in-house training academies run by OEMs and ODMs We now need scale. We must build not just shop-floor readiness, but capability to design the next generation of factories and machines. India's past success in software was built on a foundation of policy, people, and purpose. We now need a similar Y2K moment — for electronics hardware. Supply chains are going "blended" — with components made in one country, modules in another, and assembly elsewhere. India can play across all three — but only if we equip our workforce.
