iQOO 15 Indian/ Global variant spotted on Geekbench

The global variant prototype of the iQOO 15 has scored 3558 points in the single-core test and 10,128 points in the multi-core test on Geekbench. While these numbers are slightly lower than the Chinese variant’s performance, it’s important to note that this is still a prototype, not the final retail unit. The final version could show improved performance once optimised.

The listing also confirms that the device will come with 16GB of RAM and run Android 16 out of the box. As previously revealed, the global version of the iQOO 15 will ship with OriginOS 6 (Global) based on Android 16.

Under the hood, the Geekbench listing shows two high-performance cores clocked at 4.61GHz and six efficiency cores running at 3.63GHz. The source code also mentions the Adreno 840 GPU, confirming that the phone will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which has already been confirmed officially.

According to the Amazon India microsite, the iQOO 15 will be available in two colour options – Black and White. It will feature LPDDR5X Ultra RAM with speeds of up to 9600 Mbps and UFS 4.1 storage.

The listing also highlights iQOO’s self-developed Q3 computing chip, offering 2K native super resolution and 144Hz game frame interpolation, ensuring smoother visuals during gameplay. Additionally, the phone will feature ray tracing support and an 8000mm² single-layer VC cooling system to maintain optimal performance during heavy usage.

With the launch date now confirmed, more details about the iQOO 15’s pricing and availability are expected to surface in the coming weeks.
