iQOO 15R Camera Details Revealed
iQOO 15R latest camera teaser with hidden detail.
iQOO India CEO Nipun Marya recently shared a teaser on X, asking users to spot a hidden detail in the image. A small line of text within the square-shaped camera module confirms that the iQOO 15R will feature a 50-megapixel primary rear camera powered by a Sony LYT sensor.
In a separate post on X, iQOO India further clarified that the smartphone will be equipped with a 50MP Sony LYT-700 primary camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS).
While the company has not revealed details about the remaining cameras, tipster Gadgetsdata previously claimed in December that the phone will retain a 32MP front-facing camera, similar to the iQOO Z11 Turbo.
Earlier reports suggested that the iQOO 15R could be a rebranded version of the China-only iQOO Z11 Turbo. However, the Z11 Turbo features a dual rear camera setup with a 200-megapixel primary sensor and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. This difference suggests that iQOO may introduce some specification changes for the Indian market.
