The successor to the iQOO 13 has been officially named and it’s not the iQOO 14. Breaking the suspense, iQOO has confirmed that its next-generation flagship will be called the iQOO 15, skipping the number "14" entirely. This strategic move aligns with cultural beliefs in many Asian countries, including China, where the number “4” is considered unlucky. iQOO previously followed a similar path, jumping from the iQOO 3 to iQOO 5, and it looks like history is repeating itself.
iQOO 15 Name & Promotions Confirmed at ChinaJoy 2025
The iQOO 15 moniker was revealed through an official poster shared by the brand on its social media platforms. This announcement coincides with iQOO’s new “experience officer” campaign, launched during the ChinaJoy 2025 tech and gaming expo. While the smartphone won’t be physically showcased at the event, iQOO is using the occasion to generate buzz and reward fans.
As part of its promotions, iQOO will host a “Honor of Kings” 5v5 esports tournament on August 1st at its ChinaJoy booth. Eight teams will be selected on-site, with the winning team earning a free iQOO 15 for each member once the phone officially launches later this year.
