And here’s the exciting part — it’s not just another phone launch. The company has confirmed new color options, a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, and features that could shake up the flagship space in India.
Let’s break down what makes this upcoming device so hyped — and why you might want to hold off on your next phone purchase until November 26.
iQOO 15 India Launch Confirmed for November 26
After months of rumors, iQOO India Head Nipun Marya has finally confirmed that the iQOO 15 will launch in India on November 26, 2025.
A dedicated microsite is already live on Amazon, teasing the phone’s highlight specs — and honestly, they sound pretty insane. The teaser confirms that the Indian model will feature the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with a dedicated Q3 gaming chip for performance-driven gamers.
That means smoother gameplay, faster app switching, and an overall flagship-grade experience designed to rival the best from Samsung, OnePlus, and Xiaomi.
Two Bold Colors: Silver and Black
At first, iQOO teased only one color for India — Silver. But now, there’s confirmation that the iQOO 15 will also come in a dark “Black” variant, giving users a more classic option.
In China, the iQOO 15 was launched in several finishes:
- Legendary Edition (Silver)
- Track Edition (Black)
- Lingyun (Grey)
- Wilderness (Green)
While it’s still unclear which of these will make it to India, we now know for sure that buyers will get at least two color options — a sleek Silver and a bold Black.
Display and Design: Sharp, Smooth, and Immersive
Expect nothing short of a flagship experience. The iQOO 15 India variant is likely to come with the same 6.85-inch Samsung M14 AMOLED 2K display (1440×3168 pixels) as the Chinese model.
With a 144Hz refresh rate, 1300Hz touch sampling, and 1.07 billion colors, this screen is built for everything from fast-paced gaming to HDR streaming.
To keep things cool, iQOO has added a massive 8000mm² vapor chamber — meaning the phone stays cool even when you don’t.
Power and Performance: The Real Showstopper
Here’s where things get serious.
The iQOO 15 will run on Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, built on a 3nm process — the most efficient and powerful chip yet in any Android phone.
It’ll be paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, ensuring lightning-fast speed and near-instant app loading. Add to that the Q3 Supercomputing Gaming Chip, and you’re looking at one of the most performance-focused smartphones launching this year.
It’s expected to ship with OriginOS 6 based on Android 16, bringing smoother animations, advanced AI integration, and better multitasking.
Camera Setup: Triple 50MP System
For photography lovers, the iQOO 15 continues the brand’s tradition of going all in.
The phone packs a triple 50MP camera setup — including a main sensor, a periscope telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide lens — giving you DSLR-like versatility in your pocket.
On the front, a 32MP selfie camera promises crisp, detailed shots even in low light. Whether you’re into mobile photography or just want that perfect Instagram shot, this camera setup won’t disappoint.
Battery and Charging: Power That Keeps Up
Let’s be honest — all the specs in the world mean nothing if your battery dies halfway through the day. Thankfully, iQOO knows that.
The iQOO 15 packs a 7000mAh battery, one of the biggest in its class, along with 100W wired and 40W wireless fast charging support. That’s enough to fully charge your phone in under 30 minutes.
So yes, you’ll get power that actually lasts — and charges fast enough to keep up with your life.
Expected Price in India
While the Indian price hasn’t been officially announced yet, the iQOO 15 was launched in China at CNY 4,199, roughly ₹52,000 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB model.
Given import duties and market adjustments, experts expect the iQOO 15 India price to start around ₹54,999 to ₹59,999.
If that happens, this phone could seriously undercut many premium flagships in India while offering the same (or better) specs.
