As per the company, the iQOO 15R, despite its large cell, has been designed to feel light in the hand.

iQOO previously teased that its upcoming mid-flagship will be powered by the octa-core Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, built on a 3nm process. It is claimed to have achieved an AnTuTu benchmark score of more than 3.5 million points. The company promises to deliver about 36 percent improved CPU performance and around 46 percent enhanced NPU performance.

A microsite also reveals that the iQOO 15R is the fastest smartphone in the under Rs. 55,000 price segment, hinting at its price range. This means that the upcoming iQOO 15R will be launched at a similar price as the OnePlus 15R, which was unveiled in December 2025 in India at a starting price of Rs. 47,999 for the base 12GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage.

The OnePlus 15R, notably, also uses the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip as the upcoming iQOO 15R.

Apart from this, the company has already confirmed a Dark Knight colourway of the upcoming handset. It is also teased to be sold in India in a blue variant, but the name of this colourway is still under wraps.

We can expect more details to surface closer to the launch of the iQOO 15R in India, which is set to take place on February 24.
