After using the iQOO 15 as my primary device for a full 30 days, I’m finally ready to share my honest experience — from the excitement of unboxing to how it performed in my everyday life. This isn’t a spec-sheet review, but a real-world perspective of living with iQOO’s latest flagship.


 Unboxing & First Impressions

Right from the unboxing, the iQOO 15 gives a premium flagship vibe. The box includes all the essentials — charger, cable, and a protective case — which is always appreciated.

The first thing that caught my attention was the design and in-hand feel. The phone looks sleek and modern, and the Legend / Alpha color options add personality without being flashy. It feels solid, well-balanced, and comfortable to use even for long hours.


Display Experience: A Visual Treat Every Day

The 2K LTPO AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate is one of the strongest highlights of this phone.


Scrolling feels buttery smooth

Colors are vibrant but not oversaturate

Brightness is excellent even outdoors


Whether I was watching YouTube, bingeing series, or gaming, the display never disappointed. After 30 days, I can confidently say this is one of the best displays in its segment.


Performance After 30 Days: Absolute Powerhouse

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the iQOO 15 is a beast — and it stays that way even after a month.

Even after heavy usage, I didn’t notice throttling issues, which speaks volumes about its optimization.



Battery Life & Charging: Stress-Free Usage


The 7000mAh battery is massive, and it shows in daily life.


Easily lasts a full day and more with heavy usage

Gaming + social media + camera still leaves enough juice


Charging is equally impressive:


100W wired charging tops up the phone very fast

40W wireless charging adds convenience

Battery anxiety simply doesn’t exist with this phone.

However, after 30 days, it’s clear that camera is not the main priority of iQOO 15. It’s good enough for daily use and social media and Quality it deliver is better than many more devices.

Smooth animations and transition


The promise of long-term updates (up to 5 years OS and 7 years security) adds confidence for long-term usage.

After using the iQOO 15 for a full month, I can say it’s a true performance-driven flagship. It’s built for users who want power, speed, gaming excellence, and reliability in daily life.


If performance and battery life matter, the iQOO 15 is absolutely worth it and stands strong as a flagship killer in late 2025.
