    • A stunning 6.85-inch 2K Samsung AMOLED display with high brightness (up to 6,000 nits peak), 144Hz refresh rate, and good eye protection features.
    • High-quality build with IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance, a premium feel in hand, and an effective ultrasonic fingerprint reader.
    • Capable main and telephoto cameras (both 50MP with OIS) that produce detailed, natural-looking photos in good lighting conditions.
    • Improved software experience with OriginOS 6, offering extensive customization and a commitment to five major Android OS updates and seven years of security patches.
    • Fast 100W wired charging (charger included in the box) and the addition of wireless charging support.
    • Modern connectivity features including Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, an IR blaster, and fast USB 3.2 with OTG support.

    What customers dislike about vivo iQOO 15 (16GB + 512GB)?

    • A significant price increase over its predecessor, making it less of a 'flagship killer' and placing it against more premium competitors.
    • Noticeable performance throttling and high heat generation during extended, demanding use or gaming sessions.
    • The ultra-wide and selfie cameras are considered underwhelming and not on par with other flagships in its price range.
    • Underwhelming speaker performance compared to top competitors.
    • The phone is physically large and on the heavier side, which may impact comfort for some users.
    • Some popular game titles are software-limited to 60fps, preventing users from taking full advantage of the 144Hz display.
    • Chinese versions may have some software limitations (e.g., lack of eSIM, some AI features) and potential bloatware.
    • Variable screen protection material (some variants use different glass than flagship competitors) and the telephoto lens has difficulty with close focus.
