Flagship Specs: What Makes iQOO 15 Stand Out
The 6.86-inch M14 LTPO AMOLED display with 2K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate delivers buttery-smooth visuals for gaming and content consumption. LTPO technology dynamically adjusts refresh rates from 1Hz to 144Hz, conserving battery during static content while maintaining fluidity during action sequences.
Powering the device is Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset—the same processor dominating AnTuTu benchmarks with scores exceeding 4 million. Paired with 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB UFS 4.1 storage, the iQOO 15 handles intensive gaming, multitasking, and 4K video editing effortlessly.
Triple 50MP Camera System with Periscope Zoom
The triple 50MP camera setup includes a main sensor with OIS for stable low-light shots, a 50MP ultra-wide for landscapes, and a 50MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom—enabling crisp zoomed photos without digital artifacts. The 32MP front camera ensures high-resolution selfies and sharp video calls.
This camera configuration rivals flagship offerings from Samsung and Xiaomi at similar price points, making photography enthusiasts a key target audience.
Massive 7,000mAh Battery with Dual Charging
The standout feature is the 7,000mAh battery—one of the largest in any flagship smartphone—promising 1.5-2 days of heavy use. Combined with 100W wired charging (0-100% in under 30 minutes) and 40W wireless charging, the iQOO 15 eliminates battery anxiety without compromising portability at just 8.1mm thickness.
The phone will debut OriginOS 6 in India, iQOO’s latest Android skin promising improved performance optimization and cleaner UI compared to previous iterations. Expect Android 15 underneath with 3-4 years of software support.
Pricing & Competition
At the expected ₹60,000-₹70,000 range, the iQOO 15 competes directly with OnePlus 15, Realme GT 8 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S25 FE. The combination of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 7,000mAh battery, and triple 50MP cameras makes it a compelling flagship killer.
