iQOO 15 Ultra is the most powerful smartphone on Antutu, and it’s not out yet

The Ultra fever has hit almost all major Chinese brands, and the vivo company is no exception. iQOO 15 Ultra will be the next addition to the family, and the debut seems imminent: what makes the whole thing even more interesting are the first results on Antutu.

The flagship’s benchmarks report a record score, hinting at great things to come. Meanwhile, a rumored render has also surfaced, with a truly distinctive design.

According to the latest news, iQOO 15 Ultra has totaled a whopping 4,518,403 points on Antutu, a record that puts the device at the top of the list of the most powerful smartphones. The official December list—updated with a one-month difference—shows REDMAGIC 11 Pro+ in first place with 4,118,828 points.

This performance is thanks to the usual Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, Qualcomm’s latest flagship SoC, but there are no details on memory configurations.

The Chinese social network Weibo also gives us a first look at the possible design, to be taken with extreme caution. The presence of an integrated cooling fan is confirmed but the look has not yet been revealed by iQOO. The date is also missing, but it is likely that the debut will take place during the month of February (in China).
