iQOO 15 Legend Edition Unboxing Reveals Design, Features, and Charging Details Ahead of October 20 Launch
iQOO's flagship iQOO 15 is set to launch in Shenzhen, China, on October 20. Ahead of its debut, an Antutu unboxing video of the Legend Edition has surfaced, providing a closer look at the device's design and hardware.
Design and Build
