Smartphone maker iQOO is preparing to bring the iQOO 15R to India. iQOO India’s CEO, Nipun Marya, shared a teaser on the social platform X announcing the launch date as 24 February 2026. A dedicated microsite for the phone has also gone live on Amazon, suggesting the device may be sold through that e-commerce platform.
Specifications and features
Based on the teaser and several leak reports, the iQOO 15R is expected to pack several premium features, although the company has not officially confirmed these details. Reports indicate the phone could ship with a 7,600mAh battery. There are also mentions of fast charging support, but the exact charging wattage has not been confirmed.
The display is said to be a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel with a possible 144Hz refresh rate. For cameras, leaks point to a high-resolution primary sensor on the rear and a 32MP front selfie camera. Again, these points come from leaks and reports rather than official iQOO statements.
Design and durability
Early reports say the iQOO 15R’s design will take cues from the brand’s premium models. Some sources suggest the phone could carry an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, but there’s no official confirmation and no verified word on an IP69 rating. Treat these durability claims as unconfirmed until iQOO provides full specs.
RAM and storage
Leaked information indicates the iQOO 15R may offer up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM to support heavy multitasking. High-speed storage options are also expected, though the company has not shared the maximum storage capacity or specific configurations yet.
Expected price in India
iQOO has not announced pricing for the 15R. Industry estimates and expert guesses place the likely price band between ₹45,000 and ₹50,000 in India. If priced in that range, the iQOO 15R would sit in the mid-premium segment and compete with other similarly spec’d smartphones.
What to watch for
iQOO will reveal full specifications, official pricing, and availability details at the 24 February launch. Until then, treat battery capacity, charging speed, display, camera specs, IP rating, and memory/storage options as reported but unconfirmed.
