The iQOO 15 Ultra is now official - it is the first iQOO phone with an active cooling fan and it is the first to deserve the "Ultra" moniker (previously, "Pro" models have been the top end). The Ultra draws its power from a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, the same as the vanilla iQOO 15. However, here there is the "Ice Dome" system - a fairly large 17x17mm fan that moves 0.315 cfm (cubic feet per minute). The chipset is paired with 10,667Mbps LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1. The Qualcomm chip is paired with the Q3 gaming chip that handles resolution upscaling and frame generation.

Built-in active cooling fans are all the rage in China currently, with a lot of manufacturers coming out with devices featuring one.

The phone is going to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, which Qualcomm is announcing in September. It will boast an upgraded built-in cooling fan, which will allow it to have an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. The combination of an active fan and an IP rating was pioneered last month by the Oppo K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro, but those two are only water resistant.

Oppo claims the new K13 Turbo series features a built-in active cooling fan that improves cooling efficiency by 300%, reduces space by 70%, and increases power by 120%.
