The Amazon Great Republic Day sale 2026 is now live, offering deals on smartphones, accessories, and appliances across price ranges. If you were longing to grab an Android flagship, this sale might actually have you covered. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered iQOO 15, launched just two months ago at Rs 72,999, is up for grabs for as low as Rs 65,477 (including processing fee).

Alternatively, the OnePlus 15 can be purchased for Rs 68,999, but if you’re looking to get more value for your money, here’s the breakdown of the iQOO 15 deal, which can be currently availed by Amazon Prime members only:

While the iQOO 15 doesn’t see any price drop from its original launch price of Rs 72,999 (12+256GB), Prime members with an SBI Bank credit card can get up to Rs 7,750 discount on EMI transactions. Buyers willing to make the purchase in one go can get up to Rs 7,500 off on the iQOO 15.

It’s also worth noting that upon adding the phone to your cart, Amazon may levy a processing fee of Rs 199 plus some other miscellaneous charges, which it did in our case. Moreover, if you’re purchasing the device on no-cost EMI, the bank may charge a processing fee of Rs 299. All of this adds to the final order cost. As for the EMI tenure, you can choose from 3 to 24 months.

How capable is the iQOO 15 in real-world use?

The iQOO 15 is the most powerful phone iQOO has made till now. Thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 at its core, the chipset not only came on top with great results on benchmarks, but also offered a stellar experience in graphically intensive games without major throttling, as noted in our review. iQOO makes its flagships for gamers and performance chasers, and this one fits right into that bill.

The display is another highlight. Sporting a Samsung M14 2K LTPO OLED panel, the display outputs sharp and vibrant tones, while scrolling is smooth thanks to a 144Hz refresh rate. Pair that with a massive 7,000mAh battery and 100W fast charging, and you’ve got a phone that easily lasts through a full day (or more) of heavy use.
In terms of cameras, it brings improvements from its predecessor in the form of a 50MP 1/1.56″ Sony IMX921 primary camera with OIS, a 50MP 1/2″ Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto, and a 50MP ultra-wide lens. Up front, there’s a 32MP selfie camera. In everyday shooting, the iQOO 15 nails exposure and highlights, giving more natural-looking low-light results, and keeps good dynamic range across different conditions.

The iQOO 15 is also the first phone in India to ship with OriginOS 6 out of the box, based on Android 16. The interface feels smoother and more polished than earlier versions, though it still trails some rivals when it comes to built-in AI features. That trade-off reflects iQOO’s strategy of prioritising performance, display quality, and battery life over software extras

At a discounted price of around Rs 65,000, the iQOO 15 is one of the best-rounded flagships you can get, especially if you’re after raw power, long battery endurance, flagship-grade cameras and great value. On the other hand, you can also extend your budget to get the OnePlus 15, which will offer a tad large battery and smoother screen interactivity in certain games thanks to its 165Hz refresh rate support. Instead of repositioning the phone mid-cycle, iQOO is using targeted discounts to pull the iQOO 15 into a more competitive bracket, directly against phones like the OnePlus 15. For buyers, that means more hardware for less money, especially if you’re comfortable with OriginOS.
