Realme 15 Pro: Flagship-Like Power at Mid-range Pricing
The upcoming Realme 15 Pro promises to deliver a flagship feel at a mid-range price point. The design, camera, gaming performance, and battery—all of which are a worthy proposition.
Design and Build: For Those Who Appreciate Lightweight and Stylish Modernism
The phone is a delight to hold, its rich looks fulfilling its feel. Thin bezels and flat or curved edges, depending upon the variant, brighten up the aesthetics. The matte or glossy finish on the rear does something to reduce fingerprints. The almost-flat camera module does not allow the phone to rock when placed on a table. The lightweight design is fatigue-free when used for prolonged conversation or watching reels.
Display: 6.7 AMOLED, 120Hz
The phone has a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Scrolling, gaming, and UI transitions are pretty smooth.
2160Hz PWM dimming has been designed to relieve discomfort for the eyes in low-light conditions. The colors and contrast of HDR content seem pretty acceptable. A high brightness mode is a true gem when it’s sunny.
Camera: 108MP + 8MP, and 32MP Selfie
There is a 108MP main camera and an 8MP ultra-wide lens on the backside. Daytime pictures are sharp and crisp. The ultra-wide lens is quite useful for group photos and landscapes. The night camera works well with low light levels, just hold steady. The 32MP renders skin tones naturally with good light—a superb match for video calls and Reels.
Processor: Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 + 5G
This chipset cricket-smoothly fits the bill concerning dealing with camera, chat, maps, and streaming. Light and medium gaming on high settings is smooth sailing. Heavy games will require a little downgrading on the settings to keep stable frames. Good temperatures are also maintained throughout heavier gaming.
RAM/Storage: 8GB/12GB RAM, 128GB/256GB UFS 3.1
8GB/12GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage configurations are available.
UFS 3.1 allows quick installation of apps, copy of files, and loading of games.
12GB + 256GB is best suited for power users. Virtual RAM comes further in handy with multitasking.
Battery and Charging: 5000mAh, 100W
Battery life of 5000mAh lasts you a full day of calls, social media, browsing on the web, and YouTube without breaking a sweat.
Charging is super-fast at 100W, giving up to 40–50% in a few minutes, which is helpful when you’re out and about.
Good to keep Smart/Optimized Charging switched on for battery health.
Software: Clean, Fast, Customizable
Realme UI provides you with lots of customization settings, including themes, icons, AOD, gestures, and privacy. App Locker, Private Safe, and micro-permissions will help you a great deal with security. Game Space mode gives you options to block notifications while recording the screen as well as providing an FPS overlay during gameplay.
Connectivity and Audio
5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth performance are stable. Low latency for TWS earbuds.
The stereo speakers provide super clear and immersive sound, while NFC could also be included in some variants, which is great for UPI touch-payments and device pairing.
Whom Is It Right For?
An almost perfect all-rounder for office and personal use.
- 8GB/128GB should be good for students.
- 12GB/256GB and a 108MP camera are a treat for many creators.

Price and Variants
Estimated starting price in India would be around ₹25,000–₹28,000 (depending upon RAM/storage). There could be further reductions via bank offers, exchanges, and pre-order discounts. If you need extra storage, go for the 256GB variant; otherwise, the 128GB variant should be sufficient.
Final Verdict
The Realme 15 Pro is a powerful smartphone in the mid-range league. With a bright 120Hz AMOLED display, world-class 108MP camera, speedy Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, UFS 3.1 storage, 5000mAh battery, and superfast 100W charging—it feels like a true bang for your buck!
