Comparing the core configuration to the available chipsets in the market reveals it is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, Qualcomm's flagship SoC, which also powers the iQOO 15 in the Chinese market. Further, the listed model number also corroborates it to be the iQOO 15.

The octa-core chip may be paired with approximately 14.86GB of RAM, which could then be marketed as 16GB. The iQOO 15 is listed as running Android 16. The handset, notably, is already confirmed to come with OriginOS 6 for the first time, replacing FuntouchOS 15 in the country. It has a motherboard with “canoe” as the identifier.

Benchmark scores of the iQOO 15 give us an idea of what to expect from the handset in terms of performance upon its launch in India and the global markets. In the Geekbench 6.5.0 for Android AArch64 benchmarking test, it registered single and multi-core scores of 3,558 and 10,128 points, respectively.

These scores are in the vicinity of the benchmark scores of the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Redmi K90 Pro, both of which are powered by the flagship Qualcomm chip. The Xiaomi 17 Pro allegedly registered 3,621 (single-core) and 11,190 (multi-core) points, while the Redmi K90 Pro's Geekbench scores came in at 3,559 (single-core) and 11,060 (multi-core) points.
