Holding the phone, it feels premium with its flat metal sides and glass back. It’s solid, weighing in at 223g, but that’s expected with the huge battery.
The haptics from the X-axis motor are tight and precise, and the stereo speakers sound loud and balanced.
Based on the Chinese pricing, the iQOO 15 is expected to launch in India at a very competitive price, likely between ₹55,000 and ₹60,000. This could easily make it the new value-for-money flagship to beat.
