In a post on X, the Vivo sub-brand has announced that the iQOO 15 Apex colour option will be launched in India on April 1 (Wednesday) at 12 pm IST. The new colourway of the flagship iQOO smartphone will go on sale in the country via Amazon. It is the rebranded version of the “Lingyun” (translated from Chinese) colour option, which has been on sale in China since iQOO 15's debut in the country in October 2025.

The iQOO 15 Apex shade is set to join Alpha Black and Legend colour options in India. The new colourway features a novel pattern on the rear panel, with gray and red hues. The flat metal frame on each side appears to be gray, the same as the Legend option. The overall design, key specifications, and features of the handset remain unchanged.

To recap, the iQOO 15 was launched in India in November 2025 at a starting price of Rs. 72,999 for the base variant, featuring 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It is powered by Qualcomm's flagship 3nm octa core Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, along with an Adreno GPU, up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and up to 512GB of UFS 4.1 onboard storage.
