The iQOO 15 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform, built on a non-Arm public architecture CPU, which achieved an AnTuTu score exceeding 4 million. This is complemented by iQOO's proprietary Supercomputing Chip Q3, which handles advanced rendering, panoramic ray tracing, and 2K Native Super Resolution for visuals up to 144 FPS. The internal cooling system features India's largest 8K single-layer VC Cooling System.

The device features a Samsung 2K M14 LEAD™ OLED display, a first for any Android smartphone. It boasts India’s brightest display with 2600 nits High Brightness Mode (HBM) and an extraordinary 6000 nits local peak brightness. The display is Dolby Vision certified and holds TÜV Rheinland double eye protection certification.

For the first time on an iQOO device in India, the iQOO 15 ships with OriginOS 6 based on Android 16 out of the box, offering a commitment of five years of OS updates and seven years of security patches.
