iQOO 15R Rumors

Display and Design

So first of all, some reports suggest the 15R could be a rebranded iQOO Z11 Turbo from China. Display, RAM, and camera specs line up closely, but nothing has been officially confirmed yet. Hence, following that, some leaks strongly suggest the 15R will have a 6.59-inch OLED display with a confirmed 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The Amazon microsite hints at a 7.9mm thickness. Other than that, the color options are expected to include black and silver, with the silver version reportedly featuring a checkered pattern.

Performance and Software

The phone is confirmed to run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. It sits just below last year's Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and already features in various smartphones, including its direct competitor OnePlus 15R. Reports also indicate the iQOO 15R might feature up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. iQOO has officially confirmed Android 16 with OriginOS 6. The company also mentions four Android upgrades and six years of security updates.
