iQOO 15 India Prices Surface Ahead of November 26 Launch: Here’s What to Expect

Just days before iQOO formally unveils its next flagship in India, fresh leaks have offered a glimpse of what buyers might expect to pay for the upcoming iQOO 15. The smartphone, scheduled for launch on November 26, has already sparked considerable buzz—thanks to a new report hinting at its potential pricing strategy.

The latest information comes from tipster Abhishek Yadav, who cited details shared on YouTube channel TTMrIGL. According to the leak, the premium 16GB RAM + 512GB storage variant will carry a printed box price of ₹72,999. Meanwhile, the 12GB + 256GB version is said to feature an MRP of ₹64,999, with the effective purchase price possibly dipping to ₹59,999 when bank offers are applied.

Although these figures are yet to be confirmed by iQOO, they align well with the company’s long-standing strategy of aggressive pricing in India. If the base model indeed lands near the ₹60,000 mark, it could strengthen iQOO’s positioning as a serious player in the “flagship killer” segment.

The timing of the leak is noteworthy. The OnePlus 15 recently debuted in India with a starting price of ₹72,999—precisely the tag attached to iQOO’s top-end model. This could indicate that iQOO plans to undercut its rival, staying true to its history of offering high-end hardware at competitive prices. The projected price bracket also overlaps with that of the iPhone 16, signaling that Indian buyers in the ₹60,000–₹70,000 segment are prioritizing performance, display quality, and battery life over brand alone.

What’s Inside the iQOO 15

Since the device has already launched in China, its specifications are well known. The iQOO 15 features a large 6.85-inch 2K+ LTPO flat display with a 144Hz refresh rate, powered by Samsung’s M14 luminous material. The panel’s capabilities are impressive—2160Hz high-frequency dimming, 3200Hz instantaneous touch sampling, 360Hz multi-finger touch sampling, 2600 nits HBM brightness, and a staggering 6000 nits peak brightness.

Under the hood, the phone runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with iQOO claiming an AnTuTu 11 score of 4.38 million. A dedicated Q3 gaming chip boosts performance further by enabling true 2K gaming visuals, super-resolution processing, and 144FPS playback where supported. Memory configurations go up to 16GB LPDDR5X Ultra Pro RAM, while storage can reach 1TB UFS 4.1.

To handle heat, iQOO has equipped the device with what it calls the industry’s largest 8000mm VC chamber, filled with 200 million nano-graphene oxide particles. The brand says this results in a 5% improvement in heat dissipation. Multiple graphite layers also contribute to better thermal efficiency.

The camera system is equally ambitious, packing three 50-megapixel sensors—a Sony primary shooter with OIS, an ultra-wide lens, and a periscope telephoto unit using an ultra-thin prism triple-reflection design. A 32-megapixel front camera handles selfies.

Powering everything is a sizeable 7000mAh single-cell Blue Ocean battery built with silicon anode and semi-solid-state technology for improved stability. Charging speeds include 100W wired and 40W wireless options. Additional features include stereo speakers, Hi-Fi audio, and USB-C audio support.

With its powerful specifications and potentially aggressive pricing, the iQOO 15 appears ready to make a strong statement when it launches next week.
