iQOO, a subsidiary of Vivo, has just announced its latest launch in the iQOO 15 series for the Indian market, promising to combine efficiency and autonomy in a package that serves both gamers and avid users. The brand has officially confirmed the launch event for November 26th, featuring a product with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 7,000 mAh battery, and the new OriginOS 6 interface. The device aims to present a concept of advanced performance in premium Android smartphones.
iQOO is preparing the ground for one of the most anticipated launches of the year
The CEO of iQOO India, Nipun Marya, used social media to post a teaser featuring the number “11” and rotating dates, a visual approach hinting at an upcoming event at the end of November. And not coincidentally, the official confirmation of the iQOO 15 launch on November 26 followed shortly after.
The logical trend of this latest release from the brand follows the same logic as the previous year, when the iQOO 13 arrived in India shortly after its debut in China. Now, it seems the same will happen with the new model, which was already launched there in October. Therefore, Indian consumers shouldn’t find major differences compared to the original hardware.
Now, speaking of technical aspects, the new flagship arrives with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which aims to improve the product’s graphics performance and artificial intelligence. The processor is accompanied by the Adreno 840 GPU, support for up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM, and 1 TB of UFS 4.1 storage, guaranteeing high speed and dynamism in the use of the device.
A combination of power and durability that should appeal to multitaskers
One of the main features, and one that most attracts consumers due to its impact on daily activities, is the 7,000 mAh battery, one of the largest ever seen in premium smartphones. It will come with 100W wired fast charging and 40W wireless charging, guaranteeing fast charging speed and energy security. Although the power has been slightly reduced compared to the 120W of the previous model, the increase in capacity is enough to compensate.
Another feature that attracts public interest is the camera setup. The model should follow the pattern of the Chinese version: three 50 MP sensors, including a periscope lens with 3x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom, plus a 32 MP front camera.
New design, interface, and competitive pricing in India
The iQOO brings the new OriginOS 6, which is based on Android 16, with a more fluid look and features like Dynamic Glow and Atomic Island, allowing for quick and intuitive interactions. In terms of design, it boasts a clean style with thin bezels and a metallic finish, maintaining its promise of a competitive price. If it repeats the strategy of the iQOO 13, the new model could be one of the most attractive and affordable flagships of the year.
iQOO 15 arrives with force to challenge the giants of the market
With a proposition that reinforces important and attractive points for the public, such as enhanced autonomy, improved performance, and a touch of sophistication, the iQOO 15 arrives ready to compete with giants like Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Samsung, although many details, such as colors and memory configurations in India, remain secret.
If the high expectations that have been created actually materialize, the new iQOO could, in addition to attracting gamers and technology enthusiasts, have great potential to win over a broader and less specific audience looking for a fast and cost-effective phone — characteristics that, together, are increasingly rare among other devices.
