The iQOO 15 Ultra is one of the most powerful Android phones launched this year, but here’s the bitter truth, Indian buyers may never see it officially. Yes, while China just got this monster flagship, fresh leaks now suggest that iQOO is quietly dropping plans for an India launch. And honestly, that hurts.

iQOO recently unveiled the iQOO 15 Ultra in China with hardcore flagship hardware. Naturally, Indian fans were waiting. But according to reliable tipster Yogesh Brar, the company is not planning to launch the iQOO 15 Ultra in India. No long explanation. No official denial. Just silence.

iQOO 15 Ultra India launch status

As of now, the iQOO 15 Ultra India launch appears to be scrapped. The tipster claims iQOO may bring a different model instead, possibly tuned for Indian pricing. What that phone is, no one knows yet.

What we know is this: iQOO has confirmed the iQOO 15R launch in India on February 20, 2026. There is no confirmation of a rebranded iQOO 15 Ultra. No India-focused Ultra variant has appeared so far.

From a business angle, this feels like a safe but disappointing move. Ultra flagships are expensive and India is still a price-sensitive market.

Launched in China on February 4, 2026, the phone starts at CNY 5,699 (around Rs. 74,000) and packs serious power:

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC

  • Up to 24GB LPDDR5X Ultra Pro RAM

  • Up to 1TB UFS 4.1 storage

  • Massive 7,400mAh battery with 100W fast charging

The display is equally insane, a 6.85-inch 2K LTPO AMOLED panel with:

  • 144Hz refresh rate

  • Up to 8,000 nits peak brightness

Camera lovers aren’t ignored either. The phone features a triple rear setup:

iQOO 15 Ultra verdict for India

Skipping the iQOO 15 Ultra in India feels like a missed opportunity. Yes, it’s expensive. Yes, volumes would be low. But Ultra phones build brand image and iQOO already has a loyal performance-focused fanbase here.

If the company replaces it with a watered-down model, power users will notice. And they won’t be happy.

For now, Indian buyers will have to settle for the iQOO 15R or look at competitors. The iQOO 15 Ultra remains a China-only dream and that’s the real disappointment.
