Massive Battery In a Flagship Killer Phone: iQOO 15R Review!

iQOO 15R review!

I’m always torn on the ‘R’ phones. Whatever “reduced” or mid-year option arrives, where does it really fit against the rest of the competition?
This is a great piece of hardware, that is obviously targeting a younger market, and keeping prices in check.

How might this fare against a SLIGHTLY older Premium phone though?

Meze has a HUGE reputation for making beautiful headphones, which are incredibly comfortable, and sound great. I have to admit, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the original 99 Classics.
