The 7,600mAh “Silicon Carbon” Breakthrough

The headline feature of the iQOO 15R is its massive 7,600mAh battery. Despite this unprecedented capacity, iQOO has achieved a design feat—keeping the device incredibly sleek.

Key Specifications: Power Meets Precision

The iQOO 15R is engineered for hardcore performance, featuring a dual-chip architecture to handle intense gaming like BGMI and Genshin Impact at high frame rates.

• Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Processor: Powered by the latest 3nm flagship chipset from Qualcomm, achieving an AnTuTu score of over 3.5 million points.
• Q2 Gaming Chip: A dedicated supercomputing chip designed to enhance frame rates and reduce latency during professional-level mobile gaming.
• 144Hz AMOLED Display: A 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, providing ultra-fluid visuals for gaming and daily scrolling.
• Optimized Camera System: Moving away from earlier 200MP rumors, the device is confirmed to feature a high-quality 50MP Sony LYT-700 primary sensor with OIS, alongside an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 32MP selfie camera.
• Long-Term Software: The phone will run Android 16-based OriginOS 6. iQOO has committed to 4 years of major OS updates and 6 years of security patches.

Expected Price in India

With its aggressive “Performance King” marketing, iQOO is expected to undercut its rivals. Industry insiders suggest a starting price of ₹45,999 to ₹47,999 for the base variant. This puts it in direct competition with the OnePlus 15R, which launched in December at a similar price point.

By combining the world’s first 7,600mAh battery in a sub-8mm body with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, the iQOO 15R is clearly targeting users who prioritize battery longevity without compromising on flagship speed.
