iQOO 15R

The iQOO 15R is confirmed to launch in India on February 24 and will be the brand’s first “R” model in its flagship lineup. It’s positioned as a performance-centric phone that aims to deliver near-flagship power at a lower price. Leaks suggest a high refresh rate AMOLED display, a powerful Snapdragon chipset, and a large battery paired with fast charging. If iQOO keeps its pricing aggressive, the 15R could be a solid option for gamers and power users.

Vivo V70 and Vivo V70 Elite

Vivo is expected to refresh its V-series with the Vivo V70 and V70 Elite sometime in mid-February. As usual, the focus here is likely to be on design and cameras. Reports point towards Zeiss-tuned optics, capable Snapdragon processors, and pricing that stays under Rs 55,000. The V70 Elite, in particular, is expected to offer better performance than previous V-series phones.

Motorola Edge 70 Fusion

Motorola is also set to join the February launch rush with the Edge 70 Fusion. The phone is tipped to focus heavily on battery life and durability. Leaks suggest a large AMOLED display with a high refresh rate, a Snapdragon 7-series chipset, and a big battery with fast charging support. A clean Android experience and strong IP ratings could remain key highlights.
