According to exclusive information shared with us by Yogesh Brar, the iQOO 15 is tentatively scheduled to launch in India on November 27, 2025. This will be iQOO’s biggest flagship launch of the year and a direct face-off with the OnePlus 15, which is expected to arrive on November 13.
The iQOO 15 has already gone official in China, priced at ¥4,199, which is ¥200 higher than the iQOO 13’s base variant that launched at ¥3,999. Given this price bump, Indian pricing is expected to fall between ₹65,000 and ₹70,000, depending on storage options.
First Smartphone in India to Debut with OriginOS 6
What makes this launch even more significant is that the iQOO 15 will be the first iQOO device in India to ship with OriginOS 6 out of the box, replacing the long-running Funtouch OS. The new software brings many of the features and refinements seen in China, including smoother animations, better design, and more customization.
This is a major step forward for iQOO’s India lineup, aligning the software experience closer to its flagship Chinese models. If you want to dive deeper into what OriginOS 6 brings, you can read the story here. And for comparison, our coverage of OxygenOS 16 is also available here.
