iQOO 15R India Pricing Leaked and It Could Be Surprisingly Lower Than Expected

iQOO is all set to unveil its OnePlus 15R competitor, the iQOO 15R, in India. The launch is all set for February 24, 2026, and while the brand has already confirmed most of the phone's specifications, a fresh leak has revealed potential pricing just days before the official stage appearance.

iQOO 15R could cost surprisingly less

According to tipster PassionateGeekz, the iQOO 15R will likely undercut many sub-flagship smartphones, including the OnePlus 15R, with a starting price of Rs 45,999 for the base 8 GB + 256 GB variant. The 12 GB + 256 GB variant is expected to launch at Rs 47,999, while the top-tier 12 GB + 512 GB option could retail for Rs 52,999.

It's worth noting that the tipster claims these prices are before bank discounts, as they could further bring down the price of iQOO 15R by at least Rs 2,000. If accurate, the smartphone could effectively start at Rs 43,999.

As for the specifications, the iQOO 15R is confirmed to arrive with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 alongside a massive 7,600mAh battery with 100W fast charging. The performance is supported by a 6.5k IceCore VC cooling system, UFS 4.1 storage and LPDDR5X RAM.

Optics-wise, the smartphone will use a 50 MP LYT-700V primary camera alongside an 8 MP ultrawide lens. iQOO 15R is also confirmed to feature IP68/69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

On the software front, the smartphone will run OriginOS 6 features out of the box based on Android 16, with iQOO promising four years of Android updates and six years of security patches. The smartphone is also confirmed to arrive in two colours – Triumph Silver and Dark Knight.
