Performance-focused smartphone tipped to cross 3.5 million on AnTuTu
iQOO is expected to launch the iQOO 15R smartphone in February 24, adding a new performance-driven model to its iQOO 15 lineup. The upcoming device is positioned as a powerful alternative for users who want flagship-level performance without moving into ultra-premium pricing territory.
The biggest highlight of the iQOO 15R is expected to be its processor, with confirmed performance claims already generating buzz ahead of launch.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Brings Major Performance Gains
The iQOO 15R will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, making it one of the most powerful smartphones in its segment. According to early performance figures, the device has achieved an AnTuTu score of over 3.5 million, placing it firmly in flagship territory.
Compared to the previous generation, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 delivers a 36 percent improvement in CPU performance and a 46 percent boost in NPU performance, promising faster processing, smoother multitasking, and improved on-device AI capabilities. This upgrade is expected to enhance gaming performance, camera processing, and AI-driven features across the system.
AMOLED Display With High Refresh Rate Expected
The smartphone is tipped to feature a large AMOLED display with a high refresh rate, offering smooth scrolling and responsive visuals. A 1.5K resolution panel is expected, making the iQOO 15R suitable for gaming, media consumption, and everyday use.
Camera and Battery Details
On the camera front, the iQOO 15R is expected to feature a high-resolution primary sensor supported by an ultra-wide lens. The focus is likely to be on consistent photography performance rather than experimental camera hardware.
Battery life could be another strong point, with reports suggesting a large-capacity battery paired with fast charging support, designed to handle long gaming sessions and heavy daily usage.
Android 16 and Availability
The iQOO 15R is expected to ship with Android 16 out of the box, running iQOO’s custom user interface. The launch event is likely to be held online, with sales expected to begin shortly after through major e-commerce platforms and iQOO’s official India website.
Note: Pricing is based on leaks and industry expectations and has not been officially confirmed.
With the iQOO 15R shaping up to be a strong performance-focused smartphone, the February launch could be an important one for iQOO’s lineup in India. As more official details emerge, including pricing and availability, the picture should become clearer.
