iQOO 15 price hike in India hits up to Rs 10,000 on top variants

iQOO 15 price hike in India is the biggest move in this revision, with the 16GB+512GB model rising from Rs 83,999 to Rs 93,999. The 12GB+256GB variant also goes up to Rs 85,999, making the brand’s premium Android lineup noticeably more expensive for buyers this month.

That change sits alongside price hikes for the iQOO 15R and Redmi Turbo 5, with increases across storage variants and signs of the same memory-cost pressure shaping the wider performance-phone market in India.

iQOO 15R price hike pushes every storage variant higher

The iQOO 15R price hike is smaller than the flagship jump, but it still affects every listed configuration. The increase ranges from Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000, which is enough to change the value equation for buyers comparing upper mid-range phones.

After the revision, the 8GB+256GB model sits at Rs 53,999, while the 12GB+512GB version now costs Rs 66,999. That puts more pressure on the segment where buyers usually expect a clearer gap between base and higher storage options. When all variants move up together, there is less room to find a lower entry point in the same series.

For readers tracking phone prices in India, the key point is simple: the iQOO 15R is no longer holding its earlier pricing. The hike is not as sharp as the flagship model, but it is still broad-based and affects the full lineup rather than only one premium trim.

• Price increase range: Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000
• 8GB+256GB price: Rs 53,999
• 12GB+512GB price: Rs 66,999

Redmi Turbo 5 price hike follows the same memory-cost squeeze

Redmi Turbo 5 price hike points to the same broader shift in smartphone pricing. Xiaomi’s model now reflects higher costs in the performance-phone category, and the increase mirrors the pressure seen in iQOO’s lineup. The pattern suggests that memory-related costs are not affecting only one brand or one launch cycle.

In this revision, the 8GB+256GB variant now costs Rs 41,999, while the 12GB+256GB version has moved up to Rs 46,999. Those numbers place the Redmi Turbo 5 in a tighter pricing band than before, especially for buyers comparing performance-focused phones with similar storage configurations.

The useful detail here is not just the new price, but the reason tied to it. The outline points to DRAM and NAND supply pressure, which is now affecting the category more widely. That matters because these components are central to storage and performance, and when their costs rise, phone pricing usually follows.

For anyone comparing devices in this bracket, the price hike means the cost difference between variants has become more important. A jump of this kind can make some buyers reconsider whether the extra storage is worth the added cost, especially when several brands are adjusting prices at once.

• 8GB+256GB price: Rs 41,999
• 12GB+256GB price: Rs 46,999
• Likely pressure source: DRAM and NAND supply constraints

Across the iQOO 15, iQOO 15R and Redmi Turbo 5, the pattern is clear enough. Prices are moving higher across multiple storage trims, not just one flagship model. For Indian buyers, that means the current round of pricing changes is less about a single device and more about a broader shift in the performance-phone segment.
