iQOO has confirmed that the iQOO 15R will launch in India on 24th February 2026. The brand has revealed that the smartphone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC and has claimed an AnTuTu score of over 3.5 million. The Amazon microsite for the device also suggests that the pricing could be under Rs. 55,000.

iQOO 15R – New Colour Option Revealed
The company has now officially confirmed one of the colour options for the iQOO 15R. In a post on X, iQOO revealed that the variant will be called Dark Knight, describing it as a deep black finish. The post also includes the line “Minimal on the surface, commanding in presence, built for those who prefer power, shaped for everyday confidence.” However, the Amazon microsite currently only shows the blue checkered textured colour variant that was teased earlier.

Based on the design visible on the microsite and the newly revealed colour option, the iQOO 15R closely resembles the iQOO Z11 Turbo. The overall design and camera module appear identical, suggesting that the device could be a rebranded version.
While iQOO has confirmed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 for the Indian variant, it is still unclear whether the phone will offer LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, especially since it is expected to arrive as a rebranded iQOO Z11 Turbo 5G. With the launch date approaching, the brand is expected to reveal more official details in the coming days.
