Quick Charging
Interestingly, wired charging has dropped from 120W to 100W. While it’s safer for the massive 7,000 mAh battery, a full charge now takes about 45 minutes, compared to the 30 minutes on the iQOO 13.
Is the Upgrade Really Worth It?
If you are a traveler or a heavy gamer. The jump to a 7,000 mAh battery and 3x Periscope zoom removes the two biggest weaknesses of the previous generation. If you want a phone that truly does everything—including wireless charging—the iQOO 15 is the one.
Stick with the iQOO 13 if you only care about raw performance per rupee. The Snapdragon 8 Elite is still a monster in 2026, it remains the fastest phone you can buy in that price bracket. You also get the faster 120W charging.

Iqoo 15 5g Summary
The iQOO 15 5G stands as a performance juggernaut in the flagship smartphone arena, specifically catering to serious gamers and power users with its formidable hardware and innovative cooling solutions. The device is powered by the fastest-available Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, which is a 3nm chip that delivers exceptional speed and an impressive AnTuTu benchmark score exceeding four million points. This powerhouse performance is further optimised by a dedicated Q3 supercomputing chip and an expansive 8K vapor chamber cooling system, ensuring that the phone maintains stable, high frame rates even during extended, intense gaming sessions. The phone operates on the new OriginOS 6, based on Android 16, providing a fluid and highly customisable user interface right out of the box.
The user experience is elevated by a stunning 6.85-inch 2K Samsung M14 AMOLED display, which is currently one of India's brightest, offering 6,000 nits of local peak brightness and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate for an incredibly immersive visual experience. The large 7,000mAh silicon anode battery provides exceptional endurance, easily lasting more than a full day with heavy use. Recharging is incredibly fast, thanks to 100W wired FlashCharge support (with the charger included in the box) and a convenient 40W wireless charging option, minimising downtime and keeping users connected. The phone also features a versatile 50MP triple-camera system, which includes a useful 3x optical periscope telephoto lens for detailed long-range photography.

FAQs
iQOO is offering a robust software support commitment for this flagship device. Users can expect five years of major Android OS upgrades (it ships with Android 16/OriginOS 6) and seven years of security patches, ensuring long-term usability and security.
The device uses a 2K Samsung M14 LEAD OLED display that features a high 2,160Hz PWM dimming rate combined with 1-pulse DC dimming. This technology is designed to significantly reduce eye strain and flickering in low-light environments while maintaining colour accuracy.
The iQOO 15 features a dual nano-SIM card slot but does not offer expandable storage via a microSD card. It relies solely on its generous internal UFS 4.1 storage options of 256GB or 512GB.
