The poster shows the phone with an uneven checkered pattern on the back, paired with a metal frame. It also reveals a camera island design similar to its predecessor; however, the phone features a dual-camera setup, while its sibling comes with a triple-camera configuration.
The poster also reveals that the phone will be available on the Amazon platform after launch, as the post includes Amazon Special branding. Additionally, users can enjoy no-cost EMI options through Amazon Pay Later.
Key Specifications
The company has not announced any official details about the upcoming iQOO 15R; however, it is likely to be a rebranded version of the iQOO Z11 Turbo, which was launched in China recently.
The iQOO Z11 Turbo features a back design similar to the one Nipun Marya showcased in the teaser, along with a closely matching camera design. Even the power and volume rockers appear identical, confirming that the overall specifications are likely to be similar.
So based on the previous leak and the iQOO Z11 Turbo phone specs, the iQOO 15R is expected to come with a 6.59-inch 144Hz AMOLED display offering 1260 x 2750 pixel resolution.
It is also highly expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, similar to the iQOO Z11 Turbo, placing this phone firmly in the high-end flagship category.
Coming to the camera specifications, the phone may be equipped with a 200MP primary camera, similar to the iQOO Z11 Turbo, along with an 8MP secondary camera. The chipset eligibility and camera allow this setup to record 4K video at max frame settings. For the selfie, it could feature a 32 MP shooter.
The standard iQOO 15 was launched with a 7000mAh battery, while the iQOO 15R is expected to feature a larger 7600mAh battery, supporting 100W fast-charging technology.

Based on these specifications, if the iQOO 15R comes with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, it will directly challenge the OnePlus 15R, which is also powered by the same chip but with different optimizations.
I have had a hands-on experience with the OnePlus 15R and played PUBG Mobile with the 120 FPS graphics unlocked. Since the iQOO 15R is equipped with a similar chip, it is expected to be considered a high-end gaming phone.
For the past few years, iQOO has focused on bringing gaming advantage phones along with innovation in software, AI, and camera features.
