• Official teasers from iQOO already reveal sample shots from the telephoto lens, suggesting confidence in its zoom capabilities. (notebookcheck.net)
• Details on ultrawide and front cameras are still murky, but expect decent mid-to-upper tier specs to match the flagship positioning.

Real-Life Expectations & Use Cases

Seeing leaked specs is exciting but how might this phone perform for you

• For gamers, that huge battery plus Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 means you could expect 2-4 hours of high-end gaming sessions without worrying about quick drains.
• For multimedia users YouTube, Netflix, social media, the 144 Hz 2K display paired with a large battery should mean smooth visuals without battery anxiety.
• For photographers, the periscope and 50 MP main camera suggest strong zoom and crisp primary shots though low-light and ultrawide performance will be the real test.
• For day-to-day users, wireless charging becomes a plus you no longer always need to plug in.

Still, a few things to watch

• 100W wired charging is fast, but not fastest in 2025. Some brands push 200W+
• Thermal management is critical a 7000 mAh battery inside a slim body may struggle under heavy loads
• Pricing will matter a lot If this phone lands too close to ultra-premium flagships, users may prefer proven alternatives

Pros & Cons (Based on Leaks)

Pros	Cons / Risks
Huge 7000 mAh battery	Charging speed 100W is good but not best in class
Wireless charging support new for iQOO	Potential thermal issues under sustained load
Flagship chip + auxiliary Q3 co-processor	Leaks may be exaggerated or inaccurate
144 Hz 2K flat display	No guarantee of perfect camera performance in all conditions
Strong optics periscope, 50 MP	Pricing pressure expected to be more expensive than iQOO 13

Expected Price in India

iQOO has not revealed the price yet but leaks suggest the iQOO 15 could cost around 60,000 to 65,000 in India depending on the RAM and storage. Pricing will be important as it competes with OnePlus Samsung and Xiaomi flagships

Competitor Comparison How Does iQOO 15 Stack Up

To gauge where iQOO 15 might land, lets pit it against a few likely rivals

OnePlus 14 / 15 Series

• Display OnePlus often pushes higher refresh rates 165 Hz in some cases and strong color calibration
• Charging OnePlus is known for ultra high wired charging 150W+ in recent models
• Ecosystem & software OxygenOS/ColorOS has more mature updates globally
• iQOO’s edge larger battery, wireless charging, possibly better zoom optics

Samsung Galaxy S26-series (rumored)

• Samsung is expected to bring top-tier displays, camera systems, and software integration
• Their wireless charging and ecosystem are well-polished
• But battery capacity is often less aggressive iQOO’s 7000 mAh could be a differentiator

Xiaomi / Redmi Flagships (Xiaomi 15, etc)

• Xiaomi often competes fiercely on specs-per-rupee high wired charging, strong chipsets, balanced cameras
• iQOO’s advantage might be in battery stamina and possibly better thermal/UX tuning if Q3 chip works well

From what leaks suggest, iQOO may not beat all rivals in every domain but if they hit the balance right, this could be one of the more interesting flagships for power users in 2025

Final Thoughts & What to Watch

If the rumors hold true, the iQOO 15 will be among the rare phones pushing the envelope on battery life without compromising on performance or features. For heavy users gamers, content creators, folks who hate plugging in, it might be one of the more compelling options.

But there are caveats. Leaks are just leaks. Final camera quality, software polish, heat management, and price will ultimately decide whether it’s a hit or just another ambitious flagship that underdelivers.

Here’s what I’d watch after the official launch

1. Thermal performance under sustained load gaming, video, camera usage
2. Real battery life how many screen-on hours across use cases
3. Camera output especially in low light and at zoom ranges
4. Software experience & updates stability, camera software tuning, and future Android support
5. Pricing if it’s priced too close to ultra-premium flagships with better brand backing, it may lose appeal

I’ll keep an eye on official specs and reviews. If you want, I can also write a real-world review once iQOO 15 is released. Do you want me to draft that for the Indian market specifically
