iQOO’s next big flagship, the iQOO 15, is gearing up for its India debut on November 26, and early signals suggest it could shake up the premium smartphone segment in a way few expected. While concerns about rising flagship prices have dominated conversations this year, the company may actually have a surprise in store for buyers waiting to upgrade.

According to information shared with us, the iQOO 15 India price is expected to land around Rs 60,000 with launch offers. This implies the actual price without offers will sit slightly above that mark, but the launch-day value could still put it in a very attractive spot. If this pricing plays out, the iQOO 15 might even become the most affordable smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC at launch—an advantage that won’t go unnoticed.

This pricing strategy could also make things tense for rivals. Both the OnePlus 15 and Realme GT 8 Pro are rumoured to sit beyond the Rs 65,000 mark. If that happens, iQOO will undercut them by a noticeable margin. In a market where value perception can dictate momentum, this could turn into iQOO 15’s strongest weapon.

Ahead of the launch, iQOO has also rolled out a Priority Pass, available from November 20. Interested buyers can pre-book the device by paying a refundable Rs 1,000, and in return, they get additional perks. Priority Pass owners will receive complimentary iQOO TWS 1e earbuds and a 12-month extended warranty, making the pre-booking sweeter. The company has also clarified that the passes are limited and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

On the hardware front, iQOO has already confirmed several highlights. The iQOO 15 will be its first phone to run the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and will feature a Samsung 2K M14 OLED panel. It will run on OriginOS out of the box and is promised 5 years of OS updates along with 7 years of security patches.

Gamers get an internally developed Game Livestreaming Assistant and what iQOO claims is the largest single-layer cooling system in any phone. It also packs a 7000mAh battery and a triple 50MP rear camera setup, making it a feature-heavy contender heading into launch week.
