iQOO’s upcoming flagship, the iQOO 15, is gearing up for its global and Indian launch on November 26, but its pricing may already have slipped into the open. A new leak suggests the smartphone briefly appeared on Amazon India, revealing what could be the most premium price tag ever for an iQOO device in India.
Premium Pricing Revealed Through Leak
According to tipster Abhishek Yadav, the iQOO 15 listing reportedly surfaced with two storage options at premium flagship prices:
- 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage — ₹72,999
- 16 GB RAM + 512 GB storage — ₹79,999
The handset was also shown in two colours, Alpha and Legend.
If accurate, these prices push the iQOO 15 firmly into the same bracket as the OnePlus 15, signalling a sharp strategy shift for the brand.
A Big Jump Over Last Year’s iQOO 13
The iQOO 13 was launched at a much lower ₹54,999 for the base 12GB/256GB variant, while the top 16GB/512GB model was priced at ₹59,999.
The leaked iQOO 15 pricing therefore marks:
- A massive increase of nearly ₹18,000 at the entry level
- A jump of around ₹20,000 for the top configuration
This move suggests that iQOO is positioning its flagship as a high-end contender backed by powerful specs suited for gaming and performance enthusiasts.
Specifications Expected for India
While the Indian model’s specifications remain unconfirmed, they will likely mirror the Chinese variant launched in October. Key highlights include:
Display & Design
- 6.85-inch 2K Samsung M14 AMOLED
- 144 Hz refresh rate
- 508 ppi density
- Slim bezels and a gaming-optimised build
Performance
- Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset
- Adreno 840 GPU
- Q3 gaming chip for smoother frame rates and reduced input lag
- Up to 16GB LPDDR5X Ultra RAM
- Up to 1TB UFS 4.1 storage in China
(India may get similar configurations)
Official Launch Just Days Away
With the launch around the corner, iQOO is expected to confirm prices and specs soon. If the leaked pricing holds true, the iQOO 15 will go head-to-head with the OnePlus 15 in India’s premium flagship market, offering cutting-edge performance, high-end gaming features, and a top-tier display experience.
Buyers won’t have to wait long to find out.
