New Delhi: The highly anticipated iQOO 15 has officially launched in china, marking one of the first global flagships to feature the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset from Qualcomm. Packed with next-generation performance, wireless charging, and a massive 7,000mAh battery, the iQOO 15 promises to redefine speed and endurance in the premium smartphone category.
In addition to its powerhouse performance, the device features a Samsung 144Hz AMOLED display, advanced imaging capabilities, and a return to wireless charging — a feature that was notably missing from the iQOO 13. The wired charging capacity reaches up to 100W, while wireless charging supports up to 40W. Another major upgrade is that the iQOO 15 runs on Vivo’s all-new OriginOS 6 (based on Android 16), departing from the company’s usual Funtouch OS for global Markets.
