A flagship built for speed and everyday use

iQOO 15 has been launched in India as a premium device that bridges gaming phones and daily-use flagships. The iQOO 15 features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Processor, along with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The postable variant has 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.

iQOO 15 has been marketed to customers that want a fast phone and long-lasting battery without reaching the one lakh price range.

Big OLED display with high brightness

The iQOO 15 features a 6.85-inch 2K Samsung M14 OLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate and an adaptive refresh rate of 144 Hz. The iQOO 15's device has a high brightness mode supporting 2600 nits and Dolby Vision support. Furthermore, the device also has an Ultra-thin Pulse Lighting Dimming (PWM) system, providing protection against flickering when using the device at low brightness levels.

As a result of this upgrade, the display of the iQOO 15 is brighter and more responsive than previous models.

Cooling and esports performance improved

iQOO has focused on stability under load. The device has an 8K vapor chamber that covers the heat zones of the chipset and battery area. The SuperComputing Q44 chip also optimizes game performance.

For esports players and mobile gamers, this combination means smoother gameplay, better temperature control, and less throttling during long hours. A 144 Hz display and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset mean steady frame rates, and a 7,000 mAh battery means you can play for hours without having to charge often. This is a practical choice for players who want performance in competitive games.
