Battery Life Continues to Impress
If performance is the iQOO 15R's biggest strength, battery life is a close second.
Despite packing a massive 7,600mAh battery, the phone measures just 7.9mm thick and weighs around 205 grams, making it surprisingly comfortable to use every day.
On most days, I comfortably finish with plenty of charge remaining despite heavy use involving messaging, photography, social media, YouTube, navigation, and gaming.
On lighter days, stretching the phone into a second day is still entirely possible.
That consistency is what makes the battery so impressive.
I never find myself worrying about charging before leaving home or carrying a power bank during the day.
The included 100W charger also deserves praise. Even with such a large battery, charging never feels like a lengthy affair.
Whenever I do need to top up, the phone is ready to go again surprisingly quickly.
OriginOS Has Matured Nicely
Software has probably seen the biggest improvement since launch.
OriginOS feels polished, animations remain fluid, and the overall experience is considerably cleaner than older versions of Vivo and iQOO's software.
Day-to-day navigation feels fast, app switching is seamless, and the high refresh rate complements the software beautifully.
There are still a few pre-installed apps that I'd rather not see, but thankfully, most of them can be removed within minutes.
Some AI features are genuinely useful, particularly photo editing tools like AI Erase and Image Expansion.
Others feel more like nice-to-have additions that I rarely use after the initial curiosity wears off.
The biggest positive is that software updates haven't negatively affected performance.

The phone remains as smooth as it was on day one, which is not something every manufacturer can claim.
