iQOO 15 Teased to Launch in India in November; to Come With Dynamic Glow UI Design

iQOO 15 will be launched in India soon, a company official teased via social media on Sunday. The handset, which has already made its debut in China, is expected to arrive as the successor to the iQOO 13 in the country, carrying features like a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, suspended deco design, and a 7,000mAh battery. Alongside, the company also teased the new design language of OriginOS 6, featuring Dynamic Glow that brings a light glow, smooth effects, and a new feel to the user interface (UI).

iQOO 15 Launch Date Teaser

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), iQOO Chief Executive Officer Nipun Marya shared a post, asking users to guess the launch date of the iQOO 15 in India. While the date continuously shifted on a spinwheel, the month was stated as ‘11', which indicates that the handset will be introduced in November.

Further, the spinwheel briefly pauses on November 27, making it the most plausible date of the iQOO 15 launch in the country.

The official, in a subsequent post, shared more information about the new design language of OriginOS 6 — the Android 16-based operating system, which is expected to power the upcoming flagship. It will feature Dynamic Glow, a redesigned user interface of the home page, lock screen, and apps.

The UI, which is already available in China, resembles Apple's new Liquid Glass design. There are circular app icons and widgets with curved edges. The OS includes real-time blur upgrade, progressive blur, and stacked notifications. Meanwhile, the new Atomic Island, inspired by Apple's Dynamic Island, is a new feature that delivers alerts in real-time. It can also be used to stop-start the stopwatch and control music playback, among other things.

While specifications of the iQOO 15 remain under wraps, we can expect more details to surface closer to its launch later this month.
