iQOO 15 Apex Full Specifications
The Apex variant shares the same hardware as the rest of the iQOO 15 range, so you get the full flagship experience alongside the standout new look.
Display and Design
The iQOO 15 features a 6.85-inch Samsung M14 8T LTPO AMOLED display with 2K resolution, a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, and a local peak brightness of an eye-watering 6,000 nits. The Apex variant's defining trait is its cloud-pattern finish — the colour visually shifts depending on the viewing angle, a contrast to the clean white of the Legend and the stealth black of the Alpha. The phone measures 8.17mm thick and weighs around 220 grams.
Battery, Charging, and Software
Powering the device is a large 7,000mAh battery that supports 100W wired fast charging and 40W wireless charging — a combination that is rare at any price. iQOO also promises 5 Android OS upgrades and up to 7 years of security patches, giving buyers strong long-term software assurance. The handset holds an IP68 + IP69 rating, covering both standard submersion and high-pressure water jet resistance.
Camera System
Photography is handled by a triple-camera array on the rear, each sensor at 50 megapixels:
- 50MP primary camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS)
- 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, 3.7x lossless zoom, and 10x zoom
- 50MP ultra-wide camera for expansive shots
Selfies and video calls are covered by a 32MP front-facing camera.
Should You Buy the iQOO 15 Apex in India?
The iQOO 15 Apex India launch makes sense for buyers who have been waiting for a reason to pick up the iQOO 15 — the distinctive cloud design, the bundled earbuds, and the ₹6,000 bank discount collectively add real value. The hardware itself is class-leading: a massive 7,000mAh battery with fast wired and wireless charging, a 6,000-nit display, and a versatile triple 50MP camera setup are difficult to match at this price point. With seven years of security support on the table, this is a phone designed to stay relevant well beyond most upgrade cycles.
