The competitive Indian flagship market is about to heat up! iQOO has officially confirmed the launch date for its next-generation performance beast, the iQOO 15, which will arrive in India on November 26th. The announcement comes shortly after its debut in the Chinese market, generating significant excitement among tech enthusiasts and gamers.
The iQOO 15 is poised to be a true "flagship killer," packing the most powerful Android chipset and a stunning display, a pairing designed to dominate the mobile gaming segment.
Performance: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Powerhouse
The key highlight of the iQOO 15 is the confirmation that it will be powered by the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. Built on an advanced 3nm process, this chipset guarantees top-tier performance and efficiency, making it one of the first devices in India to feature this latest flagship SoC.
To further solidify its gaming credentials, the phone will also include a proprietary Q3 Supercomputing gaming chip. This dedicated hardware is expected to optimize frame rates, enhance stability during long gaming sessions, and enable full-scenario ray tracing capabilities for a hyper-realistic mobile gaming experience.
Display and Design: A Visual Feast
The visuals on the iQOO 15 promise to be exceptional. The device is confirmed to sport a massive 6.85-inch AMOLED screen with a razor-sharp 2K resolution and an ultra-smooth 144Hz refresh rate. This combination ensures crisp, vibrant images and buttery-smooth scrolling, perfect for both fast-paced gaming and high-resolution media consumption.
Early teasers and the Amazon India microsite also suggest a powerful thermal system, with an 8K single-layer vapour cooling chamber plate to manage heat effectively under heavy load, ensuring sustained peak performance.
