The high-performance smartphone brand iQOO on Tuesday introduced its latest device, the iQOO 15R, positioning it as a compact flagship aimed at young professionals balancing work, gaming and entertainment. The smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset developed by Qualcomm, promising sustained performance, improved efficiency and advanced AI capabilities.
Featuring a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, the device emphasises one-hand usability through what the company calls its “Perfect Fit” design philosophy. Despite its slim 7.9 mm profile, the handset houses a 7,600 mAh battery — claimed to be among the largest capacities in its class — with 100W fast charging support and bypass charging for gaming sessions. Thermal management is handled by an IceCore vapour chamber cooling system to maintain performance during extended workloads.
The phone runs OriginOS 6 based on Android 16 and will receive four years of software updates along with six years of security support. Its camera setup includes a 50-MP Sony LYT-700V primary sensor with optical image stabilisation, an ultra-wide lens and a 32-MP front camera, alongside AI-driven imaging tools.
According to iQOO CEO Nipun Marya, the device aims to deliver flagship capabilities in an ergonomic form factor suited for daily use. Tanmay Shah highlighted the brand’s partnership with Amazon in expanding access to performance-focused 5G devices.
Priced from ₹40,999 (effective), the iQOO 15R will be available for pre-booking from February 24 across online platforms, select retail outlets including Reliance Digital, with sales commencing March 3.
