Hi iQOO Fam,

Hope everyone is doing great! I'm back with another interesting thread. Over the past few days, you must have seen a lot of posts around the iQOO 15 launch, the Questers Annual Meeting 2025, and the iQOO factory visit. As a newly joined  Ranger representing Coimbatore, I was lucky enough to attend all these events—so here's a complete recap of how my journey has been so far. I'll try my best to make this an awesome and engaging read!

To give a little context, all these events took place in Delhi—and this was my first-ever trip to North India. I was super excited! My journey began on 25th November. I planned my travel a day earlier so that I could reach Delhi on time, rest well, and be all set for the big day — the unveiling of our latest Monster Flagship, the iQOO 15.

I took an early morning flight and reached Delhi by noon. Coincidentally, @JStreetS also arrived around the same time, and we headed together via the Airport Express Line Metro — the fastest metro I've ever been on!

For the next four days, Vivanta Taj, Dwarka, became our home. The hotel was amazing — beautiful interiors, warm hospitality, and a perfect place to begin this exciting journey.

And the excitement doubled when I received the iQOO 15 (Alpha variant) for testing and community purposes — even before the launch! Initially, I was a little unsure about the Alpha variant, since I had already used the Legend a lot during Chennai activities — but now, Alpha has officially become my favourite. It looks super premium!

More on the iQOO 15 later — I'm planning a separate detailed hands-on post, so stay tuned and make sure to follow me! Coming back to the hotel experience — I captured some beautiful shots of the place, all thanks to the new camera beast, iQOO 15. 

Later, I met many Rangers and moderators for the first time — such a lovely experience! While exploring the hotel in the evening, we stumbled upon a grand wedding in the lobby area. The decorations were stunning... we just couldn't resist stepping in to feel the vibe. Instead of describing it more — I'l let the pictures do the talking!

Launch Day — 26th November

We geared up and left for Le Meridien, Gurgaon, for the launch of the all-new iQOO 15. This moment was very special for me — someone who has been watching smartphone launches online since 9th grade, finally attending one live after years of being a tech enthusiast. A heartfelt thanks to iQOO Connect for making this possible!

Rangers Celebrating 5 Million Questers in our Community

As we entered the venue, we were amazed — a huge hotel, massive launch setup, 5 Million Community booth, and an iQOO 15-branded stage for pictures. Excitement everywhere! Inside the launch hall, the stage looked incredible, with a full iQOO 15 experience zone. I also captured some behind-the-scenes shots of the amazing team enabling the livestream.

Then, our CEO and relentless quester, Nipun Marya, arrived on stage — the energy in the hall was electrifying! The entire launch went perfectly, as many of you would have seen online.

Another big advantage of attending a launch in person? You get to meet the brilliant minds behind the device! I had insightful conversations with iQOO India Product Lead Shakar Singh, Siddhartha from GTM Strategy Team, and Roshan Das from the OriginOS team — a huge learning moment!

In the afternoon, we attended the Best of 2025 Awards, celebrating top Questers across various categories. Their dedication despite work and studies truly inspired me. Huge congratulations to all winners — keep shining, team!

Questers Annual Meet — 27th November

On 27th November, we had our Questers Annual Meeting — a very special day for Questers, Rangers, and Moderators across India. The hall was filled with excitement, and it truly felt like a celebration of everything our community has achieved over the past year. We were taken through the key highlights and milestones of 2025, showcasing how the community has grown stronger with every event, every post, and every new member joining the movement.

The most exciting part for me was seeing the plans and vision for 2026. The upcoming year looks more thrilling than ever, with a clear push toward offering bigger opportunities, more experiences, and stronger engagement across the platform.

And then came a proud moment — a special slide introducing the new Rangers, including me! Knowing that we were selected from over 350 applicants truly boosted my confidence and made the moment unforgettable.

We also had a special prize distribution ceremony to appreciate the top performers.

✨ Top Rangers were awarded a brand-new Neo 10

✨ Top Moderators received the brand-new iQOO 13

Big appreciation to @ParthNirmal and @parakram_h , who hosted the entire session with so much energy, collected feedback, and encouraged us to share ideas to make the community even better.

It wasn't just a meeting — it was a reminder of why we Quest and why we love being part of this community

Factory Visit — 28th November

We were asked to report by 7:45 AM as we were heading to the vivo India factory in Greater Noida — where iQOO phones are manufactured. It felt like a school picnic — all of us together, on time, excited!

Once inside, strict safety and security checks were followed. The facility was massive, extremely clean, and well-organized. We were briefed on the schedule and divided into three groups. Led by our one and only Parakram, we changed into factory gear and began the tour.

It was fascinating to witness the bulk production of the iQOO Neo 10R — with an impressive mix of robotics and skilled human workforce. Robots handled precision and time-critical tasks, while humans ensured accuracy and finishing. Seeing a smartphone come to life — from motherboard assembly to final packaging — was unbelievable!

Huge shoutout to @iQOO Connect for fulfilling this long-awaited wish. As a new Ranger, I'm truly grateful for this opportunity.

Before I wrap up... here's a little tease!

I've already started testing the iQOO 15 and exploring what this new flagship can really do. And wow... there's a lot to talk about! 😎
