iQOO 15 at Rs 65,999, asterisk
iQOO has announced a notable price cut on its flagship smartphone, which debuted in November 2025. However, the headline price of Rs 65,999 comes with a caveat. In a post on X, the brand clarified that this discounted figure includes all applicable taxes and offers. At the time of writing, iQOO has not specified what these offers entail, nor has it confirmed whether the reduced price will be available to all buyers or limited to select bank card holders.
The same is the case with other iQOO smartphones, including iQOO Neo 10, Neo 10r, Z10 Lite, Z10x, and more, which will be available for sale at a discounted price.
| Smartphones | Launch price | Sale price |
| iQOO 15 | Rs 72,999 | Rs 65,999 |
| iQOO Neo 10 | Rs 31,999 | Rs 33,999 |
| iQOO Neo 10R | Rs 26,999 | Rs 24,999 |
| iQOO Z10 | Rs 21,999 | Rs 20,499 |
| iQOO Z10R | Rs 19,499 | Rs 18,499 |
| iQOO Z10x | Rs 13,499 | Rs 13,499 |
| iQOO Z10 Lite | Rs 9,999 | Rs 9,999 |
Interestingly, there seem to be no discounts on the iQOO Z10x and Z10 Lite, and the iQOO Neo 10 will be available at Rs 33,999 – higher than its launch price of Rs 31,999. It’s unclear whether that asking price for the iQOO Neo smartphone is for the base or higher variants. We will update this article once iQOO shares any clarity on that.
Moreover, buyers will be able to purchase the iQOO Z10R and higher-end models with no-cost EMI options for up to 24 months.
Should you buy the iQOO 15 at its discounted price?
The iQOO 15 is the most powerful smartphone in the company’s portfolio to date. It packs top-tier hardware, led by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, which has already demonstrated its capabilities in our full review. The handset delivered strong results across both synthetic benchmarks and real-world usage, including sustained gaming performance.
Complementing the performance is Samsung’s latest M14 2K LTPO OLED display, which offers a sharp, vibrant viewing experience. Powering the device is a massive 7,000mAh battery with 100W fast charging support, a combination that proved reliable for everyday use with minimal downtime.
On the camera front, the iQOO 15 features a versatile triple rear setup comprising a 50MP Sony IMX921 primary sensor with OIS, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP Sony IMX882 3x periscope telephoto camera. For selfies and video calls, there is a 32MP front-facing camera. In practical use, the camera system handles exposure and highlights well, delivers a more natural-looking low-light output, and maintains a solid dynamic range across shooting scenarios.
While these strengths make the iQOO 15 a highly capable flagship, its original price of Rs 72,999 makes it a harder recommendation in an already competitive segment. At the reduced sale price of Rs 65,999, however, it becomes far more compelling, not only emerging as the most affordable smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, but also standing out as an impressively well-rounded buy overall.
