Editorial report
vivo iQOO 15 12 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet
The vivo iQOO 15 suits buyers who want high-end performance, an ambitious display and a large battery. Its main trade-off is weight: at 220 g, it is heavier than most phones of its time. The configuration shown has 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage; the phone is also sold as 12 GB / 512 GB, 16 GB / 256 GB, 16 GB / 512 GB and 16 GB / 1 TB.
Its 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED display combines 6,000 nits, 144 Hz and 508 ppi. Those figures are among the best of its time, while the 90.7% screen-to-body ratio uses the front efficiently. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.1 storage and 3,785,250 AnTuTu points put performance among the best of its time.
The camera setup has three 50 MP rear sensors, optical stabilization on the main and telephoto cameras, 3x optical zoom and 8K video. The zoom is among the best of its time, although the main camera's f/1.9 aperture is less bright than most phones of its time. The 7,000 mAh battery, 100 W charging and 40 W wireless charging are also among the best. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 and dual SIM with eSIM.
With an overall NeoScore of 8.9, the vivo iQOO 15 is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize the screen, power and fast charging, provided its weight is acceptable.
