iQOO 15R Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.6/10
Verdict
The iQOO 15R is a performance-first smartphone that gets most fundamentals right, and then reinforces them with a colossal battery. There are a few areas where it could have done better, like thermal management under prolonged stress and cameras with more natural colour science. However, if your priority lies in raw performance, gaming stability, and exceptional battery life, the iQOO 15R makes a compelling case for itself.
Pros
- Ergonomic design
- Bright AMOLED display
- Fast and furious performance
- Exceptional battery life
Cons
- Thermal management needs refinement
- Limited camera features and modes

Performance: fast, fluid, and almost flawless

Starting with one of the iQOO 15R's core USPs: performance. To take care of it, the handset is powered by Qualcomm's sub-flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC under the hood. This is paired with the in-house Supercompute Chip Q2, LPDDR5X Ultra RAM, and UFS 4.1 storage. The smartphone also houses a large 6,500mm2 vapour chamber cooling system.

Ergonomic, despite the big battery

As observed in the iQOO 15R's first impression, its design remains equally impressive. iQOO has packed a large 7,600mAh battery into a relatively slim, compact form factor. The handset measures just 7.9mm in thickness, and its 202 grams make it comfortable to use for extended periods. We received the Triumph Silver colour variant for review, which may not be as timeless as the Dark Knight, but it offers a good impression.

Promising software, with long-term support

The iQOO 15R runs OriginOS 6 layered on top of Android 16 out of the box. This is the same software that comes pre-loaded on the flagship iQOO 15 and several other Vivo smartphones. The latest iQOO handset keeps the experience largely unchanged, with a bevvy of pre-installed apps, including as many as eight third-party applications.
