iQOO 15 is the company's next flagship smartphone set to be unveiled on November 26. While there have been concerns about a price bump in flagship smartphones, which is likely to impact consumers next year, we might have some good news for people who are waiting for the iQOO 15 launch in India.
Update: In an exclusive conversation with Gadgets 360, Nipun Marya, CEO of iQOO, hinted at India launch prices. As it turns out, due to rising component prices, the iQOO 15 effective price may be around Rs. 65,000-70,000. Here's the latest story that provides detailed information about India pricing ahead of the November 26 launch.
According to our sources, the iQOO 15 India price is expected to be around Rs. 60,000, with launch offers. Of course, this will mean that the original price, excluding launch offers, will be over Rs. 60,000.
The around Rs. 60,000 price strategy could make the iQOO 15 touted as the cheapest smartphone with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC to launch at this price point. However, this reduced price is only valid as a launch offer. In a price war where the OnePlus 15 is set to launch on Thursday, this will be an important point to consider for consumers.
Why should this price worry the competition? For the upcoming smartphones like the OnePlus 15 and Realme GT 8 Pro, if they are priced above Rs. 65,000 in India. The iQOO 15 will undercut them significantly, and this price tag could become its most disruptive feature.
Ahead of the November 26 launch, iQOO has announced a limited-time Priority Pass for interested consumers in India. This pass can be purchased by paying a refundable Rs. 1,000 to pre-book the phone, and it comes with additional benefits. For Priority Pass buyers, the company has announced a complimentary iQOO TWS 1e, bundled with a 12-month extended warranty. The priority pass will be available starting November 20, and the company mentions that these are limited in number and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
iQOO 15 is set to be the company's first smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. The company has, for the first time, opted for a Samsung 2K M14 OLED display for its upcoming iQOO 15. It features a design that's familiar and will run OriginOS out of the box. Recently, iQOO confirmed that the 15 will get 5 years of OS updates and 7 years of security patches. For gaming enthusiasts, the iQOO 15 will feature an internally developed Game Livestreaming Assistant, along with what is touted as the largest single-layer cooling system. The smartphone is already confirmed to feature a massive 7000mAh battery. The iQOO 15 is also confirmed to sport a triple 50-megapixel rear camera setup.
