Is it any good?
The 15 leads iQOO's flagship line-up in India, starting at ₹85,999 for 12GB + 256GB and reaching ₹93,999 for 16GB + 512GB. Encased in an IP68 and IP69 dual-rated shell, it ships with OriginOS 6 on Android 16, backed by four promised Android OS upgrades and six years of security patches.
Hardware is anchored by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 silicon alongside a dedicated Q3 display processor, paired with a 6.85-inch 144Hz 2K AMOLED panel hitting 4,500 nits peak brightness. A 7,000 mAh silicon-anode cell supports 100W wired and 40W wireless charging, while the rear camera setup combines three 50MP Sony sensors including a 3x periscope telephoto.
The compromise is its substantial physical footprint: the 7,000 mAh battery pushes chassis weight to 216g and thickness to 8.14mm. If sustained battery runtimes and heavy gaming performance outweigh compact pocketability, it represents iQOO's most capable package.
