Vivo announced the historic success of its sub-brand iQOO: the new flagship iQOO 15 surpassed the daily sales of its predecessor iQOO 13 within the first 30 minutes of sales. Unfortunately, the company does not disclose either absolute numbers or first-day figures.

The Honor of Kings 10th Anniversary collector's edition was completely sold out; the second batch is due to go on sale on October 24.

Amid the trade war with the US and the introduction of a system of state subsidies for household appliances in China, there is a general growth of Chinese manufacturers in the domestic market. This year, Vivo managed to take advantage of this by organizing a series of "leaks" and teasers shortly before the announcement. Thus, users who previously bypassed the iQOO brand as unknown and unreliable formed the impression that they have known it for a long time, and it is a well-known brand that is constantly in the spotlight.

iQOO 15 received good specifications: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with a Q3 gaming chip, up to 16 GB of RAM, and three 50 MP cameras allow it to compete on par with the strongest competitors.
