iQOO today launched its premium flagship smartphone in India – iQOO 15. This phone comes with Samsung’s 2K M14 LEAD OLED display – introduced for the first time on any Android smartphone. The display has extraordinary 6000 nits local peak brightness and 2600 nits HBM, and a 144Hz adaptive refresh rate. This is iQOO’s first smartphone with Dolby Vision certification. Additionally, TUV Rheinland double eye protection certification provides Full Care Display for safer, more comfortable viewing.
The iQOO 15 is powered by the latest flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform, built on a new non-Arm public architecture CPU with an all-big-core design for unmatched speed and efficiency. The platform delivers major leaps in real-world performance with up to 23% GPU gains, 25% improved ray tracing, faster 1.2 GHz Adreno high-performance memory, and the latest 3rd-gen Qualcomm Oryon CPU offering 20% better single-core and 17% multi-core improvements. With upgraded LPDDR5X Ultra 9600 Mbps memory, UFS 4.1 storage, and up to 37% NPU performance boost through on-device Agentic AI, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 enables ultra-smooth app loading, next-level multitasking, performance, and intelligent responsiveness, bringing true flagship power to the iQOO 15. The smartphone also comes with India’s first dual-axis vibration motor, delivering true 4D feedback for immersive gaming and stronger, more reliable vibration alerts.
The iQOO 15 is powered by the iQOO’s proprietary all-new SuperComputing Chip Q3 which is built on three fully self-developed cores—DA Core for advanced rendering and super resolution, RT Core for panoramic ray tracing, and AI Core driven by an in-house neural engine. As the first Android implementation of fully self-developed ray tracing technology, Q3 simulates real-world light behavior to deliver lifelike shadows, reflections, and depth for cinematic gaming. A notable new addition to iQOO 15 is the iQOO’s 1st internally developed Game Livestreaming Assistant aimed at making gameplay display and streaming more powerful and performance-centric. It requires no specialised hardware or software; users can simply download a tool on a laptop or desktop and connect with the app on their phone. The result is stable, lag-free audio-video streaming with no frame drops, making it easier for creators and gamers to share real-time gameplay seamlessly.
The iQOO 15 is packed with a massive 7000mAh 4th-generation silicon-anode battery with 100W FlashCharge. The addition of 40W wireless charging brings true convenience, offering flexible top-ups at home, at work, or on the move. The iQOO 15 also supports Extended RAM technology, which uses upgraded algorithms to intelligently allocate part of the ROM as virtual RAM. This allows a 12GB RAM variant to expand up to 24GB, and a 16GB RAM variant to boost up to 32GB.
The iQOO 15 runs on OriginOS 6, based on Android 16. With 5 years of OS updates and 7 years of security patches, the iQOO 15 is built to stay fast, secure, and future-ready.
The iQOO 15 is armed with a triple 50MP camera system, including the 50MP Sony IMX921 VCS main sensor, a 50MP IMX882 1/1.95″ 3X telephoto periscope camera, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. The 32MP front camera ensures crisp, detailed selfies and high-quality video calling.
With NICE 2.0, a flagship-grade night algorithm, users get clearer and more satisfying night scenes with enhanced deblurring and computational optics. The iQOO 15 brings powerful AIGC-driven visual intelligence, enabling users to remove passersby, transform weather, or change seasons on demand across Standard, Portrait, and Landscape modes. It offers a wide range of creative effects, from Dawn and Clear Sky to Golden Autumn, and more, allowing instant stylistic enhancements. With the new AI Reflection Erase, the device intelligently detects and eliminates reflections from glass, windows, cards, and even non-transparent surfaces like ID cards or boards, ensuring clean, distraction-free shots with a single tap.
The iQOO 15 is built for durability and style, featuring IP68 and IP69 ratings for resistance against dust, water, and high-pressure environments. The front is protected by Schott Xensation ? glass, adding extra strength against drops and scratches. Enhancing its premium design, the upgraded Monster Halo introduces a hidden ambient light strip beneath the camera, creating a refined, subtle halo glow. Inspired by LED grille lights, the new Floating Light adds a striking visual effect that syncs with games and music, while also providing real-time notifications for calls, messages, and charging.
