It's still a joy to look at whether I'm catching up on YouTube videos, scrolling through social media, editing photos, or playing games.

The panel is sharp, colors are vibrant without appearing overly saturated, and outdoor visibility has never been an issue.

Even under harsh sunlight, I rarely found myself struggling to read messages or navigate using Google Maps.

The 144Hz refresh rate continues to make everyday interactions feel incredibly fluid. More importantly, the experience hasn't changed after months of software updates.

Animations remain smooth, touch response is excellent, and the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner continues to unlock the phone almost instantly.

It's one of those features that spoils you to the point where switching back to an optical fingerprint sensor feels like a downgrade.

Performance That Refuses to Slow Down

If there's one reason to buy the iQOO 15R even today, it's performance. Many Android phones start showing small signs of ageing after a few months.

Apps take slightly longer to open, animations occasionally stutter, and multitasking becomes less reliable. Thankfully, that hasn't been my experience with the iQOO 15R.

Whether it's juggling dozens of Chrome tabs, editing images, switching between social media apps, or handling a busy workday filled with emails and messaging apps, the phone continues to feel as responsive as it did on day one.

Gaming remains one of its strongest suits. BGMI, Call of Duty: Mobile, and other demanding titles run effortlessly with consistently smooth frame rates.

Even during longer gaming sessions, the phone manages heat well thanks to its cooling system.

It certainly gets warm, but never to the point where it becomes uncomfortable to hold or starts throttling noticeably.

Another pleasant surprise has been the haptics.

It's not something you consciously think about every day, but every vibration, keyboard press, and notification feels tight and precise, adding to the overall premium experience.

Perhaps the biggest compliment I can give the iQOO 15R is this: after four months, I've never felt that the phone was slowing me down.

It simply gets out of the way and lets me focus on what I'm doing.
