The iQOO 15R is set to be launched in India soon as the latest addition to the flagship iQOO 15 lineup. In the days leading up to its debut, the Vivo sub-brand has been revealing key details about the upcoming handset. The latest announcement from iQOO reveals the battery capacity of the iQOO 15R. The iQOO 15R will pack a considerably bigger battery than the 7,000mAh cell of the iQOO 15.
In an X post, the official iQOO account posted that the iQOO 15R will be equipped with a 7,600mAh battery. It is also teased to be the “slimmest smartphone in the 7,600mAh category” in India. The upcoming handset is confirmed to measure 7.9mm in terms of thickness.
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.

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.
