The iQOO 15 offers flagship power with a gigantic battery and gaming-ready hardware

- 

The iQOO 15 doesn't try to disguise what it is. This flagship is built around raw performance, long battery life, and a display that begs to be used for gaming or heavy multimedia consumption. Still, unlike some performance-first phones that scream for attention, this one does so subtly. After spending time with the top-spec variant, it's clear that the iQOO 15 has the muscle to challenge the best — but it also manages to keep things refined.

DESIGN AND BUILD

Finished in a pearl matte white, the Legend variant of the iQOO 15 manages to look premium without drawing unnecessary attention to itself. The fibre-glass rear panel has a silk-like texture that feels great in the hand and keeps fingerprints away, while the aluminium frame adds a sense of solidity. At 220 gm, it isn't exactly light, but the balance is spot-on, and the rounded edges ensure it doesn't dig into your palms even after long sessions.

One detail that stands out is the Energy Halo around the camera module. The RGB ring can sync with music, react to certain game controls, and act as a notification light — a small touch that adds character without feeling gimmicky.
