iQOO 15 Apex Edition Debuts in New Color with Massive Battery and Launch Offers
New Apex Edition brings fresh design to iQOO 15 lineup while retaining flagship performance, large battery, premium display, and attractive pre booking offers including free earbuds for early buyers
iQOO has introduced a refreshed version of its flagship smartphone lineup in India with the launch of the iQOO 15 Apex Edition. Rather than being an entirely new device, this release focuses on a new color variant, adding a fresh visual appeal to the existing iQOO 15 series that already includes Alpha and Legend options.
The Apex Edition keeps the same high end hardware that powers the original model. At its core is Qualcomm’s advanced Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset built on a 3nm architecture, designed to deliver top tier performance. The processor is paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB UFS 4.1 storage, ensuring smooth multitasking and fast data handling. The company claims impressive benchmark numbers, highlighting strong gains in graphics, processing, and AI capabilities.
One of the biggest highlights remains the massive 7000mAh battery, which is built using silicon carbon technology. This large battery supports 100W wired fast charging and 40W wireless charging, making it suitable for heavy users who demand long lasting performance without frequent charging breaks. The device also includes an advanced cooling system with a large vapor chamber to manage heat during intense usage like gaming.
On the front, the smartphone features a large 6.85 inch AMOLED display developed using Samsung M14 technology. It offers a 2K resolution and supports a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, delivering sharp visuals and ultra smooth scrolling. With peak brightness reaching up to 6000 nits and support for always on display, the screen is designed for both clarity and convenience even in bright outdoor conditions. Additional enhancements allow users to operate the phone with wet hands, improving usability in real world scenarios.
Photography is another strong area for the device. The iQOO 15 Apex Edition comes with a triple rear camera setup led by a 50MP Sony IMX921 primary sensor with optical image stabilization. It is accompanied by a 50MP telephoto periscope lens offering optical zoom capabilities and a 50MP ultra wide camera for broader shots. On the front, a 32MP camera handles selfies and video calls, supporting high resolution video recording with smooth frame rates. AI powered features such as reflection removal and scene optimization further enhance the camera experience.
The smartphone runs on OriginOS 6 based on Android 16, and iQOO has promised long term software support with multiple Android upgrades and extended security updates. It also comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings, offering strong resistance against dust and water, making it a durable choice for daily use.
In terms of pricing, the iQOO 15 Apex Edition starts at Rs 72999 for the 12GB and 256GB variant, while the 16GB and 512GB model is priced at Rs 79999. However, effective prices are lower with available offers. The device will go on sale starting April 6 through the official iQOO website, Amazon, Vivo exclusive stores, Reliance Digital outlets, and other retail channels.
Customers who pre book the device can benefit from several launch offers. These include free iQOO TWS earbuds worth Rs 1899, along with instant bank discounts of up to Rs 6000 and no cost EMI options for up to 12 months.
With a refreshed design, powerful internals, and strong launch incentives, the iQOO 15 Apex Edition strengthens the brand’s position in the premium smartphone segment while offering users both style and substance.
