iQOO 15 Will be Available At Least Two Colourways in India

Amazon has updated its iQOO 15 microsite to reveal that the handset will be available in at least two colourways in India. Previously, the phone was teased to launch in a single silver colour option in the country. Now, the smartphone maker has confirmed that it will also be available in a black colourway.

In China, the flagship smartphone is offered in Legendary Edition (silver), Track Edition (black), Lingyun (grey), and Wilderness (green) (translated from Chinese) colourways.

The iQOO 15, in India, will sport a 2K resolution display, which will deliver up to a 144Hz refresh rate. It will support Ray Tracing, too. For maintaining thermals, it is teased to be equipped with an 8,000 sq mm single-layer vapour chamber plate.

It is expected to launch with the same specifications as the Chinese variant.
