Powered by Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC and the Supercomputing Chip Q3 for enhanced gaming performance, the iQOO 15 runs Android 16-based OriginOS 6—making it the first smartphone in India to ship with OriginOS out of the box. iQOO has committed to providing five Android OS upgrades and seven years of security updates.

The smartphone features a 6.85-inch 144Hz LTPO AMOLED display with a 1440p resolution, peak brightness of 6,000 nits, and Dolby Vision support. The display includes an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and a punch-hole housing a 32MP selfie camera.

On the rear, the iQOO 15 sports a triple-50MP camera setup: a primary sensor, an ultrawide lens, and a periscope telephoto unit. It is powered by a robust 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery (available in all regions) supporting 100W wired and 40W wireless charging.

Additional features include stereo speakers, NFC, an IR blaster, and eSIM support. The device carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance. It also boasts Monster Halo lights surrounding the rear camera module for a distinctive design element.
