iQOO 15R India Launch Nears: Price Range and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Details Revealed
iQOO has hinted at the India price and flagship chipset of the iQOO 15R ahead of its February launch.
Vivo sub-brand iQOO has officially confirmed that the iQOO 15R will launch in India on February 24, with a dedicated microsite now live on Amazon. The listing confirms the smartphone’s availability on the e-commerce platform and teases key specifications, including its chipset and expected price segment.
According to the microsite, the iQOO 15R will be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, built on an advanced 3nm process. The company claims the device has scored over 3.5 million points on AnTuTu, delivering nearly 36 percent improved CPU performance and around 46 percent enhanced NPU performance compared to previous generations.
iQOO has hinted that the 15R will be positioned as the fastest smartphone under Rs. 55,000, suggesting a competitive pricing strategy. This places it in direct competition with the OnePlus 15R, which launched in India in December 2025 with prices starting at Rs. 47,999. The pricing indicates that iQOO is targeting the premium mid-range segment with flagship-level performance.

It may pack a massive 7,600mAh battery with 100W wired fast charging, positioning it as a strong contender in the premium smartphone market ahead of its official debut.
