The iQOO 15R is the stronger fit if you want a larger listed battery and a newer chipset; the realme GT 7 stands out for its larger display, faster wired charging and reported 50MP telephoto camera. In the India price snapshot, the iQOO cost about ₹12,000 more, while the GT 7 was marked out of stock. Those prices and availability can change, so check current listings before deciding.
Price difference and availability in India
In 91mobiles’ comparison snapshot, the realme GT 7 was listed at ₹41,999 but marked out of stock. The iQOO 15R was listed at ₹53,990 on Amazon; iQOO’s India store showed ₹53,999, including taxes, for the 8GB/256GB version when accessed. That is a listed gap of about ₹12,000, not a guaranteed difference at checkout.

Battery life or faster charging?
The iQOO 15R has the larger listed capacity at 7,600mAh typical, compared with the GT 7’s 7,000mAh reported by 91mobiles. The GT 7, in turn, is listed with faster 120W wired charging versus the iQOO’s 100W. Capacity and charging wattage point in different directions; neither number alone establishes real-world battery life or charging time.

Camera differences: telephoto versus OIS
The reported hardware distinction is the GT 7’s 50MP telephoto camera with 2× zoom. The iQOO 15R’s official listing describes a 50MP Sony LYT-700V main camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS), alongside an 8MP ultra-wide camera; it does not list a telephoto camera. Choose the GT 7 if a dedicated telephoto lens is important, or the iQOO if its manufacturer-listed OIS main camera better matches your priorities. These specifications do not establish which phone takes better photos overall. Both listings state a 32MP front camera. 91mobiles comparison; iQOO India store.

Display, software and storage considerations
The GT 7’s reported 6.78-inch display is larger than the iQOO 15R’s manufacturer-listed 6.59-inch screen, making it the specification-led choice for people who prefer more screen area. iQOO describes its display as 1.5K AMOLED. The GT 7 is listed with LTPO AMOLED, a display technology that can support variable refresh rates; the cited comparison does not establish how either screen performs in specific apps or conditions.
The iQOO India store lists 8GB/256GB, 12GB/256GB and 12GB/512GB configurations. 91mobiles lists UFS 4.0 for the GT 7 and UFS 4.1 for the iQOO 15R; storage speed and capacity should be weighed against the price of the exact variant you can buy. For software support, 91mobiles reports four OS years and six security years for both phones. Those update figures are secondary-source claims here, so confirm the current India policy if long-term support is a deciding factor. iQOO India store; 91mobiles comparison.

Which one should you buy?
- Choose the realme GT 7 if you can find it in stock at a meaningfully lower current price and value the larger reported display, faster listed wired charging or dedicated telephoto hardware.
- Choose the iQOO 15R if you prioritise the manufacturer-listed Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 platform, higher listed battery capacity, or a wider choice of memory and storage variants.
- Compare current checkout prices first if the GT 7 is unavailable or the gap has narrowed. The snapshot prices are not a promise of current stock or transaction price.
The iQOO store says the 15R box includes a charger, USB cable and phone case, along with the handset, eject tool, warranty card and quick start guide. A separate case is therefore not essential on the basis of that package listing; check contents for the exact purchase and compatibility before buying other accessories. iQOO India store.
