iQOO today confirmed it will launch its next flagship, the iQOO 15, in India in November. The device is set to debut in China on October 20. 

The news was confirmed by iQOO India on X (formerly Twitter). While the company hasn’t revealed the exact launch date yet, the announcement confirms that India will be among the first markets outside China to get the device.

The iQOO 15, as expected, will be a performance-centric phone like its predecessor. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip along with an upgraded Q3 gaming chip designed to enhance graphics performance and support 144fps gameplay at 2K resolution.

To handle the resulting heat, iQOO has added a new 8K vapor chamber (VC) Dome cooling system. The company says this new setup uses a double layer of high-conductivity graphite, which reportedly improves cooling efficiency by 47 percent compared to the previous generation. 

The VC heat sink inside the iQOO 15 is also said to be three times larger than the one in Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max, according to iQOO’s product manager.

The display specs are equally ambitious. The phone will use a 6.85-inch 2K 8T LTPO Samsung “Everest” panel that supports a 144Hz refresh rate and reaches up to 6,000 nits of peak local brightness.

Other confirmed features include wireless charging, a battery exceeding 7,000mAh, and an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance. It will also feature a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for more reliable biometric authentication.

While the Indian variant is expected to mirror the Chinese model, iQOO might make small adjustments, such as changes in storage options or battery capacity.
