iQOO 15R: Display and Camera Details Revealed
The iQOO 15R is shaping up to be an impressive addition to vivo's smartphone lineup. The company has scheduled the India launch for February 24, marking the debut of the first 'R' model in the brand's numbered series. After sharing teasers last week, iQOO has now confirmed several key specifications including display quality, camera capabilities, and durability ratings.
AMOLED Display with Premium Features
The iQOO 15R will sport a punch-hole AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. This combination delivers crisp visuals and fluid scrolling for everyday use and gaming. The display also achieves an impressive 5,000 nits of local peak brightness, making it easily readable under direct sunlight. The screen can dim down to just 1 nit for comfortable nighttime viewing.
Additional display features include HDR10+ support for enhanced video content and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint reader for fast, secure biometric authentication. While iQOO hasn't confirmed the exact screen size yet, leaks suggest a standard flagship form factor.

Camera and Durability Specs
iQOO confirmed that the 15R will feature a dual camera setup on the rear. The primary shooter uses a 50MP Sony LYT-700V sensor capable of recording 4K videos at 60 frames per second. An 8MP ultrawide-angle camera joins the main sensor for expanded shooting flexibility. The company hasn't detailed the front camera yet, but expect a high-resolution sensor for selfies and video calls.
The smartphone will carry both IP68 and IP69 ratings, providing protection against dust and water immersion. This level of durability is rare in this price segment and adds significant value for users in harsh environments.

Performance and Battery
Under the hood, the iQOO 15R runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC paired with a dedicated Q2 Supercomputing Chip for enhanced gaming performance. The device features a massive 7,600 mAh battery with 100W wired charging support and bypass charging technology that reduces heat during extended gaming sessions.
Cooling is handled by a 6.5K IceCore VC Cooling System, while gamers will appreciate the 144 FPS support in BGMI through frame interpolation. The phone ships with OriginOS 6 and promises four years of OS updates plus six years of security patches.
Other features include Bluetooth 6, Wi-Fi 7, NFC, and an IR Blaster. The base model will retail under INR 50,000 in India, positioning it competitively against iQOO 15 and other flagships in the market.
