OnePlus 15, iQOO 15, Realme GT 8 Pro camera leaks: 50MP flagships, 200MP periscope, gaming‑first specs.

Chinese flagships with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 are lining up for October, with leaks pointing to aggressive camera upgrades on OnePlus 15, iQOO 15, Realme GT 8 Pro, and Redmi K90 Pro, plus a strong push on high-refresh gaming displays and big batteries.

What’s new

Tipster chatter suggests three of the four upcoming phones will use 50MP 1/1.5-inch main sensors, with one model stepping up to a 50MP 1/1.3-inch sensor, indicating larger pixel collection for improved low-light performance and dynamic range in the top variant. Secondary sensors vary: two devices are tipped with 50MP 1/2.76-inch modules, one with a 50MP 1/1.95-inch, and one model could feature a 200MP 1/1.56-inch periscope telephoto, with only one of the four expected to include a telephoto macro capability, per Digital Chat Station’s breakdowns relayed in recent reports.

OnePlus 15

Leaks indicate a triple‑50MP rear setup using a Sony LYT‑700 primary with OIS, paired with Samsung JN5 ultrawide and a 3.5x telephoto, alongside a 6.78‑inch LTPO OLED at up to 165Hz and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, positioning it as a gaming‑friendly flagship with balanced cameras. Multiple storage tiers with LPDDR5X and UFS 4.1 are rumored, and launch timing chatter points to October announcements with rapid global availability thereafter, per regional reports and leak tracking.

iQOO 15

Official teasers show periscope telephoto samples up to 100x digital zoom, and leaks point to a triple camera with a 50MP 1/1.5‑inch main and a 50MP periscope, plus a 6.85‑inch 2K 144Hz display and a 7,000mAh battery with 100W charging for performance‑first users. iQOO has confirmed Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and suggested a dedicated Q‑series co‑processor for gaming optimization, with an October China launch window expected.

Realme GT 8 Pro

The GT 8 Pro is tipped to debut swappable camera island designs in collaboration with Ricoh, while the optics rumor stack includes a 50MP LYT‑808 1/1.4‑inch main with OIS, 50MP ultrawide, and a 200MP 1/1.56‑inch HP5 periscope telephoto with telemacro, signaling an imaging‑heavy competitive stance. Hardware leaks also point to a 6.78‑inch 2K LTPO OLED at 144Hz, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, IP69, ultrasonic fingerprint reader, and a 7,000mAh battery with 120W charging.

Gaming focus

Across the lineup, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is paired with high‑refresh LTPO displays (up to 165Hz on OnePlus 15 and 144Hz on iQOO 15 and GT 8 Pro), plus large 7,000mAh battery configs and fast charging, underscoring a unified push toward gaming performance and sustained thermals. Ancillary features like improved haptics, better speakers, and game kernel/Q‑chips suggest OEM‑level tuning beyond raw silicon gains this cycle.

Indexing notes

All specs remain unofficial until launch; multiple leaks show convergence on sensor sizes and periscope adoption, but final camera mixes may vary by market and configuration tiers. Official confirmations to date include iQOO telephoto samples and Realme’s swappable camera module design, lending weight to the broader imaging narrative ahead of October unveilings.
