The brand is staggering its 15‑series rollout, pairing a gaming‑focused Ultra for China with a near‑flagship 15R tailored to India.

Overview

  • iQOO India CEO Nipun Marya posted a teaser for the 15R with a checkered rear and dual cameras, calling the launch "coming soon" and signaling availability on Amazon in India.
  • Reports suggest the 15R may align with China’s Z11 Turbo, with leaks pointing to a 6.59‑inch 1.5K 144Hz AMOLED, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, IP68/IP69, an ultrasonic fingerprint reader, and a 7,600mAh battery with 100W charging, while camera specs vary between 200MP and 50MP claims.
  • Pre‑orders for the iQOO 15 Ultra are live in China, and an iQOO product manager confirmed a home‑market launch before the Spring Festival in early February.
  • Company teasers show a visible built‑in active cooling fan on the 15 Ultra, with reporting of a dedicated protection plan for the fan offering coverage of up to five years.
  • A China 3C listing indicates 100W wired charging for the 15 Ultra, with tipster chatter of a 7,000mAh‑plus battery, wireless charging, and a possible move to 200W later, alongside expectations of a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, a 165Hz display, and a 50MP periscope telephoto.
