iQOO 15R hands-on review The iQOO 15R marks the debut of the ‘R’ series in the brand’s lineup in India, targeting young professionals seeking a compact, user-friendly smartphone with robust performance and long battery life. After testing the device for several weeks, the review evaluates its design, display, camera setup, and overall usability. The iQOO 15R features a 6.59-inch 1,260p 144Hz AMOLED display with minimal bezels, offering a centered punch-hole for the 32MP front camera. A 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is embedded in the back, functioning reliably even with sweaty fingers. Its placement ensures a seamless unlocking experience without proximity to the bottom bezel. The rear design mirrors the iQOO 15 and previous flagships, with a squircle-shaped camera island. While the layout is familiar, the internal camera arrangement differs, housing a 50MP primary sensor and 8MP ultrawide lens, along with an external LED flash. The camera island’s low profile prevents the phone from wobbling when placed on flat surfaces. Available in Dark Knight and Triumph Silver finishes, the Triumph Silver variant features a glass back with a checkered pattern. Though the design appears textured, it lacks actual tactile variation. The Dark Knight model, with a fiberglass back, offers a more subdued appearance but is prone to smudging. Both versions have flat rear panels, with the Triumph Silver model slightly thicker and heavier than its counterpart. The device’s frame is made of metal with a matte finish, and ports include a USB-C slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, and a dedicated charging port. The display settings allow customization of refresh rates, though the 144Hz mode was not consistently activated during gaming tests.#originos_6 #snapdragon_8_gen_5 #iQOO_15R #iqoo_15 #iqoo_brand
