Why the iQOO 15 is so special

The iQOO 15 is setting out to establish itself as a high-performance smartphone, with gaming as a core focus, good features, and flagship silicon at a competitive price point. The iQOO 15 feels like the company’s attempt to create a mainstream flagship product, combining the latest Qualcomm silicon with an unusually large 7,000mAh battery and premium display technology.

Beyond raw specifications, the iQOO 15 Series is shaping up to deliver a design language that looks and feels premium, coupled with a refined software experience.

If priced between ₹60-70,000 in India, it would be an aggressive flagship option for users who care about consistent performance and battery life. If it priced between ₹60-70,000 in India, it would be great for those who value consistent performance and needs long battery life.

Design & display of iQOO 15 : flagship look, big battery without the bulk?

The teasers of the iQOO 15 show a clean premium shell that also offers a classic black and white finish.

The brand seems to have used internal engineering (vapor chambers, custom battery layout) to balance the slim profile and large battery. The highlight here is the 2K LTPO AMOLED panel—it offers sharp text, high brightness in daylight, and adaptive refresh to save battery during light tasks. If the panel is indeed 6.85 inches and 1440p with 120-144Hz, it should be a great display experience.

Performance

The Snapdragon 8 Elite (Qualcomm’s high-end Generation 5 variant) is one of the fastest chips we’ll see in 2025. With up to 16GB of LPDDR5X and advanced cooling (the large vapor chamber mentioned in early teasers), the iQOO 15 is aimed at gamers and power users who expect long-lasting performance without significant throttling. Benchmarks will be released soon after launch, but expect strong CPU/GPU numbers and excellent thermal management for gaming.

The iQOO 15 Series is expected to debut Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, built on the advanced 3‑nanometer process. This chipset promises substantial gains in both performance and power efficiency.

Battery and Charging: Key Number – 7,000 mAh

A 7,000 mAh battery in any flagship device changes the rules: you should expect several days of light use and a full day of heavy gaming, with plenty of headroom. Reportedly, 100W wired charging (and wireless charging support in some listings) delivers very fast charging despite the large battery. For those who don’t like frequent charging, the IQOO15 will be a great choice.

Camera: Strong Sensors

It appears iQOO has opted for a 50MP triple array camera—indicating a focus on versatile, consistent output rather than chasing a high megapixel count.

Expect a high-quality main sensor (possibly with OIS), a capable ultra-wide, and a telephoto or portrait sensor. iQOO’s historical strength has been algorithmic tuning for daylight; low-light and video capabilities will be evaluated once the full review is released. The hardware mentioned is promising for creators seeking flexible shooting and strong stabilization.

Software: updates and features

Reports indicate the iQOO 15 will ship with Android 16 and the company is advertising lengthy support — some outlets say 5 years of OS updates and 7 years of security patches, which would be above average for Android OEMs and a real plus for buyers who keep phones 3–5 years. Expect iQOO’s OriginOS features: gaming modes, performance profiles, and battery/charging health tools.

Price, launch offers & availability (India)

Leaked and early reports place the iQOO 15 in the ₹60,000–₹70,000 range for typical flagship configurations in India. Some outlets suggest a ₹69,990 or ₹69,900 positioning, while others report an approx ₹60k estimate for aggressive introductory offers. Pre-booking details say a refundable Rs. 1,000 pre-book with freebies and extended warranty for pre-orders starting Nov 20; the formal retail launch is Nov 26. Expect bank/UPI discounts and exchange offers at launch.

Who should buy the iQOO 15?

• Buy if: you want flagship silicon for gaming, extremely long battery life, a high-end display, and multi-year update assurances. Great fit for power users and mobile gamers.
• Skip if: you prioritize the absolute best camera system (e.g., Pixel / iPhone level computational photography) or ultra-compact phones. Also compare with rivals in the same price band (OnePlus, Samsung Galaxy S series, Xiaomi) once local pricing is fixed.

The combination of a more efficient chipset and optimized display power management could extend endurance by up to 25% versus older iQOO models. Heavy users—whether binge‑watching, gaming, or recording 4K footage—will appreciate the phone’s reliable longevity and lightning‑quick top‑ups.

Final verdict of iQOO15 — quick take

        The iQOO 15 is shaping up to be a performance-forward flagship with a genuinely differentiating battery capacity and top-tier silicon. If iQOO 15 prices it sensibly (and supports its software-update claims), it will be one of the more compelling flagship choices in India for users who want raw speed and battery longevity without paying Apple-level premiums. Wait for in-hand reviews for camera and thermal behavior, but on paper it’s an exciting — and practical — flagship.Home – mobile
