Vivo iQOO 15T Specifications, Pros and Cons
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The vivo iQOO 15T, announced and released on May 20, 2026, is a rugged yet stylish smartphone. It measures 163.4 x 76.7 x 8.3 mm and weighs around 216 grams, so it feels solid but not overly heavy. The phone features a glass front, an aluminum frame, and your choice of either a glass or a glass-fiber reinforced plastic back. It is also incredibly tough with an IP68/IP69 rating meaning it is dust-tight and can survive high-pressure water jets, plus immersion in up to 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes. A fun little bonus the blue version has a color changing rear panel. Up front, you get a stunning 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 1 billion colors, a super smooth 144Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of 4500 nits.
