iQOO 15R (8 GB RAM, 256 GB)

A gaming and performance centric phone with 7600 mah battery and decent camera

Starting at Rs 44,999, the iQOO 15R is the cheapest smartphone with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC. The most impressive feat is the engineering required to fit a 7,600mAh battery into a 202g body that feels lighter and more ergonomic than its competitors. It makes small concessions — no LTPO panel, no telephoto lens, and a USB 2.0 port — but compensates with exceptional performance, class-leading battery life, and a premium build.If your priority lies in raw performance, gaming stability, and exceptional battery life, the iQOO 15R makes a compelling case for itself. It's not perfect, but for gamers and heavy users, it's arguably one of the best value-for-money phones available right now.Pros: Flagship-tier chipset at a mid-range price · Incredible two-day battery life · Compact ergonomic design · IP68/IP69 rated · Smooth OriginOS 6 software · Excellent stereo speakersCons: Average cameras with limited modes · USB 2.0 port (no display out) · 144Hz restricted to gaming · Some thermal throttling under extreme load.

A perfect All rounder ❤️

The phone is awesome. It's been more than 2 weeks since I bought this phone. Based on my usage what I can say is that the phone is blazing fast, apps open faster, multi tasking is breeze and battery easily last a day. In sometimes it might go a day and a half. The software part is also good. You need to tweak a little bit, delete the unwanted apps and block the notifications. Once it's done this OS can give you a good experience. The most important thing which I like with this phone is it's form factor. It is a one hand phone. You can easily slide this phone into your pocket.Yes, as you all know cameras are the weakest point of this device. But it is not bad. You can take decent photos with this phone. If you are a camer centric guy then this is not for you. But if you want an all-rounder that don't cut the corners, then this could be a better choice. Coming to the software part, the Origin OS is super customisable and you can change the complete look of your phone if you have some taste of colours and know which font you need. This phone also comes with ultra Sonic fingerprint scanner which is blazing fast and accurate. Since this is a Vivo product that adds more peace of mind. Finally if you ask me if I recommend this to anyone? Mg answer is Yes!!!!. This is such a nice all rounder that comes with premium specs which is rare to find even after the price hike. 😁

Fast and Efficient, Compact on hand, Decent camera, No lags, Hard shell, Overheating

Bought the *iQOO 15R* from Amazon last week and here’s my honest take:*Pros:*- *Fast and Efficient* - Snapdragon performance is crazy. Games, apps, everything loads instantly.- *Compact on hand* - Despite the big battery, it feels compact and doesn’t feel bulky in hand.- *Decent Camera* - 50MP main cam clicks good daylight shots. Colors are punchy. Video is stable too.- *No Lags* - 120Hz display + Origin OS 16 feels super smooth. Zero frame drops even in BGMI/CoD or any open world games.- *Hard Shell* - Build is solid. Back panel and frame feel durable, doesn’t feel cheap.**Cons:**- *Overheating* - Under 30min+ gaming or 4K recording it gets warm. Not burning hot, but you will feel it.*Battery & Charging:*Charges stupid fast and lasts all day easily.*Verdict:*If you want raw performance in a compact body under budget, iQOO 15R is a beast. Just manage the heating during heavy gaming.
