The iQOO 15 Ultra is set to launch in China next month, with recent images shared by iQOO showcasing its design and color options. These images highlight the phone's right frame, which will include touch-sensitive shoulder triggers equipped with haptic feedback.
This information was revealed in a Weibo post by iQOO's product manager, who noted that the shoulder triggers will feature a 600Hz sampling rate, supported by two independent control chips to ensure minimal latency. Additionally, the triggers are designed to be sweat-resistant, utilizing an "anti-sweat" algorithm to enhance the user experience.
The product manager elaborated on the benefits of these touch-sensitive shoulder triggers over traditional button triggers. A linear motor will simulate a press, providing consistent feedback even after prolonged use.
Furthermore, the touch-sensitive triggers boast an "almost unlimited" lifespan, as they do not suffer from mechanical wear and tear like conventional triggers. They are integrated seamlessly into the phone's frame, reducing the risk of dirt accumulation and avoiding latency issues commonly faced by standard triggers.
The iQOO 15 Ultra features two shoulder triggers on its right side.
One key reason for the inclusion of shoulder triggers in the iQOO 15 Ultra is the enhancement of the gaming experience. Additionally, in many games, particularly FPS titles, the on-screen controls can be overwhelming, making the ease of using shoulder triggers for presets and combinations a significant advantage for gamers.
Moreover, iQOO's product manager mentioned that the iQOO community has a strong affinity for gaming, and the iQOO 15 Ultra is specifically designed for this audience.
Earlier rumors suggested that the iQOO 15 Ultra might feature an active cooling fan and could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. More information is expected to emerge in the upcoming weeks.
