FULL STORY
======================================================================iQOO 
has announced its 'Q3' mobile gaming chip This is the world's first to 
support full-scene ray tracing It will be included in the upcoming iQOO 15 
handset 

iQOO isnt a brand we talk about much, but this Vivo-owned company has just 
announced something that could transform the smartphone gaming landscape. 

The company has unveiled its new self-developed Q3 gaming chip, which is 
designed to work alongside a phones processor to give gaming a boost. 
Described as a mobile graphics card this isnt something we see in many 
phones, though its the third generation of Q chip from the company, so not a 
totally new idea. 

The Q3 though sounds especially impressive, with iQOO claiming its the only 
one in the industry to support full-scene ray tracing, super resolution, and 
super frame rates. 

Ray tracing can be used to improve reflections and other lighting effects, 
but so far on mobile if your phone supports ray tracing at all, it will only 
be used in certain parts of the scene. With full-scene ray tracing, light 
physics are more accurately simulated across the whole scene. 

Super resolution meanwhile is an AI-powered technique for upscaling lower 
resolution visuals, and super frame rates simply means very high frame rates. 
So if the Q3 is capable of all that it could dramatically boost the visuals 
and performance of smartphone games. You'll need an iQOO phone to get this

Of course, youll need a handset with this graphics chip in it, and so far 
only the iQOO 15 has been announced as including it. 

This phone isnt out yet, but iQOO has already revealed that it will have a 
6.85-inch QHD screen with a 144Hz refresh rate, and thanks to an early 
Geekbench listing (via GSMArena ) we also know that it should have a 
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and 16GB of RAM (though other configurations 
may be available as well). 

That chipset is the next generation on from the Snapdragon 8 Elite found in 
the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, and along with the Q3 chip it 
delivers impressive results here, with a single-core score of 3,824 and a 
multi-core score of 12,402. 

Thats a similar single-core result to what youd get with an iPhone 17 Pro Max 
, but its a far higher multi-core score, and both scores have current Android 
phones beat. 

Leaks also suggest that the iQOO 15 could have a massive 7,000mAh battery and 
a trio of 50MP cameras, so while this is a niche brand in the west, its one 
that might be worth paying attention to. You might also like Best Android
