Hands-on iQOO 15 camera review: triple 50MP setup (IMX921 + IMX882), periscope 3x zoom, superb low-light shots and 4K/60fps video — ahead of India launch.

iQOO 15 Camera Hands-On: Triple 50MP Cameras, Periscope Zoom

We tested the iQOO 15’s triple-50MP cameras and periscope telephoto — from daylight detail and 100x hybrid zoom to surprisingly strong low-light and portrait performance. Read our hands-on verdict.

iQOO 15 Camera Hands-On: How good is the Photo Quality?

The iQOO 15 combines Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 power with a triple 50MP camera setup, delivering exceptional detail, color accuracy, and low-light shots&mdash;making it a true flagship contender in smartphone photography.

Although the iQOO 15 was already launched in China last month, the successor to the powerful iQOO 13 is set to drop in India on November 26.
Now historically, iQOO has been more of a performance orie nted smartphone maker and has not really paid that much attention to its cameras. Well, with the 15 series, they hope to change that perception.
Now, along with top-notch performance, they have also tried to go all-out with their cameras as well. But has it worked?
I experienced the phone before its Indian release, and it&rsquo;s quite clear that <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/mobiles/iqoo-z10r-review-in-5-simple-points-what-you-need-to-know-1753349773828" target="_blank">iQOO</a> has done some sort of an engineering wizardry with their cameras this time around.&nbsp;
It features a triple camera setup at the back and comes with a 50MP main camera with Sony IMX921 sensor, a 50MP periscope 3x telephoto camera with a Sony IMX882 sensor and OIS, and a 50MP ultra wide camera.
And this being an offering from iQOO, it packs insane performance thanks to an all new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
We take a deep dive into the cameras of the iQOO 15 and see how it fares.&nbsp;
<h2>The 50MP Main Camera</h2>
The 50MP main camera (23mm, f/1.88) actually sets the tone for the entire camera system on this phone. The level of detail it pulls is insane and genuinely surprising. The camera perfectly balances light, even in intense, harsh sunlight, preventing the sky from blowing out and keeping shadows well under control.&nbsp;
For instance, in a shot panned directly towards the sky (like a hanging house model), details remain sharp and not excessively shadowy.
This is a massive improvement over older iQOO models that sometimes had the tendency to oversaturate colours to make up for poor contrast. With the iQOO 15, the colors are rich.&nbsp;
<h2>The 50MP Ultrawide Camera</h2>
The 50MP ultrawide (15mm, f/2.1) camera is a massive step up from previous iQOO models, benefiting significantly from its high resolution and the new sensor. The 15mm lens delivers true flagship consistency, with superb dynamic range and excellent color signature matching the main sensor. While distortion correction is top-tier, a minor area for refinement is observed in complex low-light scenes, where there is a subtle, yet discernible, increase in digital noise when compared directly to the Main lens. Overall, it is a highly useful and powerful lens.
<h2>The 50MP 3X Telephoto</h2>
This phone really hits its stride when you move beyond the main lens, mixing crops from the main sensor with the dedicated periscope telephoto, which goes up to 100x magnification. Although the sweet spot is typically around 20-30x
The sample images genuinely demonstrate the phone's capabilities. The first image, shot at 165mm focal length, captures multiple subjects in the mid-distance. By zooming further to around 666mm the camera isolates the single pigeon, maintaining a recognizable texture on the bird and bricks despite the extreme zoom.
<h2>Portrait Mode</h2>
The Portrait Mode performs exceptionally well. It captures images with stunning depth and detail. It also has an 85mm lens option included in this section, for the perfect portrait capture. By offering versatility and professional results, it maintains good subject separation, and the colors are vibrant which looks naturally stunning.
<h2>From the Main Sensor</h2>
For tighter headshots, the 2x portrait crop is pretty solid. The camera does a pretty impressive job with edge detection, creating a beautiful, natural-looking separation from the background without weird halos or fuzzy hair. The depth of field is shallow and looks very smooth and creamy, which really helps the subject pop out.
Colours are again, very impressive, and the camera handles yellow tones really well, and balances it out beautifully.
<h2>From the 3X Tele Sensor</h2>
Portraits with the dedicated 3X optical telephoto camera are simply insane; in our example, one can easily see the texture on a watch face or the weave of a shirt's fabric without any mushiness. It also captures the skin tone perfectly balanced, without going overboard with the colours.
I also liked the perspective compression at this focal length. Seasoned photographers who have used a proper, full-frame DSLR or mirrorless camera will see how natural-looking it is. It also makes people look flattering, something previous iQOO <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/mobiles/samsung-galaxy-s24-vs-oneplus-12-in-depth-2024-flagship-comparison-check-specs-prices-and-more-1701340237455" target="_blank">flagships</a>, which often skimped on a proper optical telephoto.
Even when pushed to the 100mm setting, the detail held up way better than expected, maintaining clarity and ultra-depth behind the subject in portrait shots.&nbsp;
Although there is some room for improvement in the colour section here, sometimes in exposed lighting conditions the color vibrance acts differently and seems unnatural, this is a testament to the applause-worthy processing engine, which makes this hybrid zoom genuinely useful.
<h2>Low-Light Performance</h2>
&nbsp;If the daylight shots were impressive, the low-light performance is what really sells the flagship status.
In this photograph of the couple in their cocktail outfits, the phone pulled in a remarkable amount of light in what was a challenging scene with only a couple of fairy lights as a source. It handled this perfectly, blurring those lights into a soft, ethereal bokeh while maintaining texture and detail in the black suits and sequined dress in the foreground. Skin tones stayed true, even under the tricky, warm ambient lights.
Similarly in the cat&rsquo;s image, taken in minimal to practically no light) I was totally blown away. It captured a crisp image with no colour distortion. Of course, in such an extremely low-light condition, the camera takes a second or two to capture the image, but the processing is pretty much instantaneous.
<h2>The Front-Facing Camera</h2>
The 32MP front camera is again glorious, especially when challenged by harsh lighting. In a series of selfies with the sun blazing directly on the subject, the iQOO 15&rsquo;s HDR instantly kicked in to make sure the face was properly lit and not a distracting silhouette. You get natural-looking detail on skin and clothing, steering clear of that artificial, overly-smoothed "beauty filter" look that ruins so many selfies.
<h2>Capturing Action: Video Performance</h2>
In today's world where everybody wants to be a content creator, video capabilities of a phone truly are kingmakers, and iQOO 15 does not disappoint here .
You can shoot up to 8K on the main camera, but the 4K@60fps available on both the main and telephoto cameras yields seriously smooth results.&nbsp;
The video quality itself is impressive, holding onto detail perfectly, especially challenging conditions. Crucially, its dynamic range is also solid, balancing the light so the bright sky doesn't get completely washed out, and you don't lose all the detail in the shadows.&nbsp;
Normal stabilisation on the main camera is pretty solid since it uses OIS. That said, if you engage the special ultra-stabilization mode, I feel there&rsquo;s a little room for improvement there.
<h2>iQOO becomes a serious contender</h2>
The iQOO 15 shows that iQOO is no longer content with having one of the most bang for the buck devices in the performance category; it wants a similar crown in terms of cameras too, and is willing to pursue it pretty aggressively.
The consistency is what wins here; all three rear camera systems share the same excellent color science and image quality, which is a huge accomplishment.&nbsp;
The new periscope lens is a genuine powerhouse, and the night modes prove that iQOO has finally figured out how to use computational photography to create art, not just pump the brightness up. For me, this camera system is a whole new experience and easily the most exciting part of the entire iQOO 15 package.&nbsp;

Responding to the award, Salem said that he hopes with this award, the world will become even more conscious of the human impact of war in the Gaza strip. 

Palestinian woman holding dead kid is World Press Photo of the Year

Responding to the award, Salem said that he hopes with this award, the world will become even more conscious of the human impact of war in the Gaza strip.&nbsp;

Reuters photographer Mohammed Salem captured this year&rsquo;s prestigious World Press Photo of the Year award Thursday with a depiction of loss and sorrow in Gaza, a heartrending photo of a Palestinian woman cradling the body of her young niece. The photograph, taken in Khan Younis just days after Salem&rsquo;s own child was born, shows 36-year-old Inas Abu Maamar holding five-year-old Saly, who was killed along with her mother and sister when an Israeli missile struck their home.
Salem, who is Palestinian, described this photo filed Nov. 2 last year, as a &ldquo;powerful and sad moment that sums up the broader sense of what was happening in the Gaza Strip.&rdquo;
The image &rdquo;truly encapsulates this sense of impact,&rdquo; said global jury chair Fiona Shields, The Guardian newspaper&rsquo;s head of photography. &ldquo;It is incredibly moving to view and at the same time an argument for peace, which is extremely powerful when peace can sometimes feel like an unlikely fantasy,&rdquo; she added.
The World Press Photo jury praised the shot&rsquo;s sense of care and respect and its offering of a &ldquo;metaphorical and literal glimpse into unimaginable loss.&rdquo;
This is not the first time Salem has been recognized for his work on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; he received a World Press Photo award more than a decade ago for another depiction of the human toll of conflict in the Gaza strip.
In the three other global categories announced Thursday, South Africa&rsquo;s Lee-Ann Olwage won Photo Story of the Year for her touching series &ldquo;Valim-babena,&rdquo; featured in GEO magazine. The project focused on the stigmatization of dementia in Madagascar, a topic she explored through intimate portraits of &ldquo;Dada Paul&rdquo; and his family. Lack of public awareness surrounding dementia means that people displaying symptoms of memory loss are often stigmatized.
In the series, &ldquo;Dada Paul,&rdquo; who has lived with dementia for 11 years, is tenderly cared for by his daughter Fara. One of the standout images in the series shows him preparing for church with his granddaughter Odliatemix, capturing moments of normalcy and warmth amidst the challenges of dementia.
Photographer Alejandro Cegarra, a Venezuelan native who migrated to Mexico in 2017, won the Long-Term Project award for &ldquo;The Two Walls,&rdquo; published by The New York Times and Bloomberg. Cegarra&rsquo;s project, initiated in 2018, examines a shift in Mexico&rsquo;s immigration policies, which have moved from being historically open to enforcing strict regulations at its southern border. The jury said the photographer&rsquo;s perspective as a migrant gave it a &ldquo;sensitive,&rdquo; human-centered perspective, according to a press release.
Julia Kochetova of Ukraine won the Open Format award for &ldquo;War Is Personal.&rdquo; The project stood out from coverage of the ongoing conflict by offering a personal look at the harsh realities of war. On a dedicated website, she merged traditional photojournalism with a diary-like documentary style, incorporating photography, poetry, audio clips and music.
The Associated Press won the Open Format award in the regional Africa category with the multimedia story &ldquo;Adrift,&rdquo; created by journalists Renata Brito and Felipe Dana. The story investigates the fate of West African migrants who attempted to reach Europe via a treacherous Atlantic route but ended up on a ghost ship discovered off Tobago. The team&rsquo;s compelling use of photography, cinematography and detailed narrative, enhanced by expert design and multimedia elements, highlights the perils faced by migrants and the human stories behind global migration issues.
The Associated Press&rsquo; Ebrahim Noroozi won the Asia Stories award for his series &ldquo;Afghanistan on the Edge,&rdquo; which documents the country since the Taliban took over in August 2021.
World Press Photo is an independent, nonprofit organization based in the Netherlands, founded in 1955.

Nishtha Shanti - Can you tell us a little bit about your journey with collecting cameras? What prompted you to take this on?
Aditya Arya - My journey started as an advertising photographer. Before that, I was a student of history. History always fascinated me. And history of not only politics, but places, objects, the story, the underlying stories, which were how did things evolve? How were they invented? So, photography being my profession, it led to a kind of a passion to study the cameras, the evolution, the story. I ended up collecting many thousands of cameras. My first camera was also which was given to me at the age of 17 was a Zeiss Ikon, which my father had picked up in fifties. So, the collection started with my own cameras and few other cameras from kabadi markets. And, you know, it kept evolving. I used to read and I constantly read. Today everything is easily accessible on Google. But there was no there was a time when I had to go to the library set to flip through books. Knowledge was accessed and sourced differently.

What are your most prized cameras and how did you acquire them? 
AA- Camera Lucida. It's an object said device which led to the invention and discovery of the idea of making negatives and positives by a man called Talbot in England. It's a copying device. And I had only seen the images and once I was in London, and I saw this little box lying in one corner of one of these dealers. And I saw and I said, my God, this is probably from 1810, 1820. He said, 'Yes, this is an original piece'. A lot of Kabadis keep in touch with me. One day I got a series of WhatsApp messages. I said it's all trash. The dealer said 'No, sir. Look at it, it says aerial camera'. It took me around 4 hours to find that place. And I reached there and I found these cameras and boxes.
And meanwhile I started doing a lot of research on what kind of cameras were used in World War. These were the cameras which were actually made in 1445 during the World War to capture the aerial reconnaissance, bombardment and postwar destruction. And it turned out to be that Kharagpur was one of the places where a lot of photographers were trained during the World War, the American photographers. So, you know, I ended up buying all of them and bringing them to the museum. And then I started to locate more cameras. Could never find more cameras. 15,000 were made. We have 13 of them.&nbsp;
 NS - With the age of digitisation, how has the process of taking a photograph changed? 
AA - These are the devices. Which created the histories, the visual histories. But what is very interesting is when you see an old picture, there are so many layers which are lying buried under the top layer. That top layer is what you see and you react to and say, 'Wow, this is amazing' For me, there is another story which a lot of people forget or ignore or choose not to talk about. That is the story of how was this image taken? What was the process? How long did it take? What kind of chemicals were used? That is an interesting part of the story for me. And this is what this museum is about. Various stories. How were the studios operated? What kind of negatives? The story of photography is how the silver grains turn into the pixels of today. &nbsp;People from analog generation pre-visualized a photo. A born digital generation thinks differently. They know there they have hundreds of possibilities which are at their fingertips today. The iPhone is a great camera and mobile allows you to do anything and everything. And there are apps to do processing and but you still have to have an eye.

AA - Photographer has another role, which is to share what he's seeing with his audience or public at large. So how far he wants to push himself is purely his prerogative. There has to be some kind of ethics involved in it. It's very complicated. Some people may say 'he should have saved that person, but he was taking pictures' So was there empathy involved or was there no empathy involved? It's very difficult to answer that question.
NS - You have an enviable career that has spanned over four decades, what is your favourite work?
AA - In 1980s, I was in Mumbai. I used to do still photography for film industry. I shot a film called 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron', a little bit of work for 'Chashme Baddoor' and Syed Mirza's 'Mohan Joshi Haazir Ho'. And there I met a lady called Neena Gupta, and I shot some pictures of her, which she considers one of her best portrait ever done. And I fell in love with that portrait.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/world-photography-day-what-are-the-most-liked-photos-on-instagram-1629379047677">Also watch - World Photography Day: What are the most liked photos on Instagram&nbsp;</a>
