An early unboxing of the iQOO 15 shows a 100W charger in the retail package, hinting that wired charging may top out at 100W instead of 120W like the iQOO 13. The phone is officially set to launch in China on October 20, with colors already revealed.

Background
iQOO has confirmed the event date and the color options for the iQOO 15, including a color‑changing variant for China. Last year’s iQOO 13 supported 120W wired charging, so a 100W brick in the new box stands out as a likely downgrade for peak charging speed.

How it works
A Chinese unboxing video shows the full box contents: phone, case, and a 100W FlashCharger, strongly suggesting 100W wired charging for the iQOO 15. The unit also highlights a metal frame with antenna lines, dual speakers, USB‑C, SIM tray, and an IR blaster up top.

Why it matters
Dropping from 120W to 100W may slightly slow top‑ups, but rumors point to a larger 7,000 mAh battery that could deliver better overall endurance. Official teasers also confirm wireless charging and IP68/IP69 ratings, suggesting a more balanced flagship.
Impact / Expert View
Coverage notes the 100W brick is a downgrade versus iQOO 13, but added features like wireless charging and higher durability ratings could offset the change for daily use. With the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and a 144Hz 2K display also confirmed, the overall package still looks strong.
Conclusion
The leak points to 100W wired charging, but the broader upgrades may still make the iQOO 15 a solid pick—final details land on October 20. Would a bigger battery make 100W fast enough?
