iQOO 15 May Come With Five Years OS Upgrades, Seven Years Security Update

According to a Smartprix report, the iQOO 15, scheduled to launch in India on November 26, will offer five years of OS upgrades as well as seven years of security updates. The company claimed this move is influenced by user feedback and its aim to offer long-term support, the report added.

Notably, the iQOO 15 will be the brand's first smartphone to ship with OriginOS 6, based on Android 16, right out of the box.

The existing iQOO 13 handset, which runs FuntouchOS 15 based on Android 15 out of the box, is promised to get four years of OS upgrades and five years of security. Earlier this year, the company extended its software support policy for the iQOO 12, confirming four years of Android version updates and five years of security patches. This marked an improvement over the previous commitment of three years of OS updates and four years of security support.

The Indian variant of the iQOO 15 is confirmed to have a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, paired with LPDDR5x Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 onboard storage, as well as a dedicated Q3 gaming chip. Set to be sold in Alpha (black) and Legend (white) colourways, it will come with a 2K 144Hz display and an 8,000 sq mm single-layer vapour chamber for thermal management.
