Spotted by tipster @yabhishekhd on X, the India variant of the iQOO 15 has been listed on the Geekbench benchmarking platform with the Vivo I2501 SKU. The upcoming phone has managed to score 3,558 points in the single-core test, while hitting 10,128 points in multi-core. Other details confirm the presence of 16 GB RAM and OriginOS 6 based on Android 16.

Looking at the above scores, there is no doubt that the upcoming flagship from iQOO will use the latest flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 mobile platform from Qualcomm. This doesn't come as a surprise since it was already revealed that the smartphone will bring the said chipset.

As for the other details, since the iQOO 15 China launch happened only ten days back, we have the full specification list of what the smartphone will bring to the Indian shore. Here is a quick rundown of the same:

  • 6.85-inch 2K 144 Hz flat 8T LTPO OLED display
  • Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor
  • Android 16-based OriginOS 6
  • 50 MP Sony IMX921 main camera, 50 MP ultra-wide angle lens and 50 MP 3x periscope telephoto sensor
  • 32 MP selfie camera
  • 7,000mAh battery with 100W fast USB-C charging and 40W wireless charging
  • Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, IP68 + IP69 rating, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 and USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port

That said since the iQOO 15 India launch is officially happening on November 27, 2025, we just have to wait for another four weeks before the smartphone is officially unveiled. We expect iQOO to price the 15 aggressively to compete with the likes of the OnePlus 15 and the Realme GT 8 series which are also launching next month in India.
