iQOO 15 India prices leak ahead of November 26 Launch: Base variant may start around Rs 60,000
Just days before the official India launch, leaks suggest that the iQOO 15 could be priced between Rs 60,000 and Rs 73,000, depending on the variant. The flagship device is expected to undercut rivals like the OnePlus 15 while offering powerful hardware, including the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip.
The iQOO 15 will launch in India on November 26. However, before the official unveiling could take place, the pricing details for the device had prematurely surfaced online. The information comes via tipster Abhishek Yadav, who claims to have sourced this pricing from YouTube channel TTMrIGL. While not officially confirmed, the leaked numbers offer a good indication of how iQOO may position its newest flagship.
Leaked prices hint at strong, aggressive positioning.
If the leak is to be believed, the 16GB + 512GB variant of the iQOO 15 could sport an MRP of Rs 72,999, while the 12GB + 256GB model may come with a printed price of Rs 64,999. Add some expected bank offers to that, and the effective price of the base variant could come down to about Rs 59,999.
If accurate, the pricing fits perfectly in with iQOO's strategy of offering flagship-class performance at a noticeably lower price than its rivals. It also positions the phone directly against the OnePlus 15, starting at ₹72,999 in India, and even overlaps with the iPhone 16 price bracket, an increasingly competitive zone for premium buyers.
