Initially, we announced that the iQOO 15 would launch on November 27, 2025. However, based on updated information, the official debut of the iQOO 15 will take place one day earlier than previously reported.

iQOO 15 India Launch Date

In an exclusive interview with Gizbot, iQOO India CEO Nipun Marya confirmed that the iQOO 15 launch in India will take place on November 26. In an interview with Gizbot, Marya noted, "No, I think they should look forward to November 26. Because that's the date we are going to release. And I am telling you this, you are the first one to know this from our side."

Following the launch, the iQOO 15 will go on sale in India through Amazon and the company's e-store. An official listing for the iQOO 15 is already live on Amazon. Apart from the launch date, Marya also hinted to the pricing of the iQOO 15.

iQOO 15: What to Expect in Terms of Pricing

iQOO is gearing up to position the upcoming iQOO 15 firmly in the premium smartphone segment, continuing its push beyond the ₹50,000 price mark. Speaking about the company's pricing approach, iQOO India's CEO emphasized that the brand aims to "continue that journey of building strong sales in this segment, which is 50K plus."

The executive highlighted that iQOO's target audience is a research-driven, tech-savvy group that values specifications and real-world performance over marketing hype. "The iQOO consumer is the one who is quite knowledgeable, does a lot of research, reads what you write, what you publish," he said, noting that this helps the brand focus on delivering genuine value rather than aggressive sales tactics.

While refraining from confirming an exact price point, the CEO hinted that the iQOO 15 will uphold the company's "right pricing" philosophy, ensuring strong hardware and performance without compromising on consumer value, even amid rising input costs like memory component prices.

Based on our interview with Marya and past reports, we believe the iQOO 15 price in India will start from under Rs 60,000, allowing it to maintain a premium price, while still delivering value in the flagship space.

iQOO 15 Promise of Performance

Nipun also revealed that the iQOO 15 will offer premium performance, "I want to stick to our DNA of premium performance." When it comes to performance, iQOO continues to prioritize raw power and speed with the upcoming iQOO 15.

The company's CEO stressed that performance isn't limited to gaming alone, noting, "Performance is not only equal to esports, right?" He explained that as users mature in their smartphone experience, they begin to understand the tangible benefits of a strong processor. iQOO aims to serve this evolved audience, focusing on high-performance hardware rather than appealing to every consumer segment in the market.
