Power and Performance
The Realme 15 Pro stands out as India’s first phone to run on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC—a significant upgrade over its predecessor. With an AnTuTu score crossing 1 million, this chipset is engineered for faster CPU/GPU speeds and advanced AI capabilities. It comes with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB onboard storage, though expansion via microSD isn’t supported.
The Realme 15, meanwhile, is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Plus, an efficient chipset tailored for daily tasks and casual gaming—offering solid performance at a more accessible price point.
Both models include Realme’s GT Mode and a 7,000mm² vapour chamber cooling system to ensure sustained performance during intensive use.
Refined Design with a Massive Battery
Despite housing a 7,000mAh battery, the Realme 15 series maintains a sleek profile—just 7.66mm thick and 187 grams in weight—making it the slimmest phone in its category. The battery uses a graphite-based lithium-ion technology for improved thermal efficiency and durability. Realme claims users can end the day with 50% battery remaining, and the 80W fast charger can fully charge the device in just 61 minutes.
The design also gets a visual update, replacing the circular camera bump with a clean rectangular module. An LED notification ring next to the camera adds a modern touch. The phones are also IP69-rated for water and dust resistance and protected by Corning Gorilla Glass.
AI Edit Genie: First-of-Its-Kind Image Editing
The spotlight feature of the series is the AI Edit Genie—a unique image editing tool that lets users transform photos using voice commands or text prompts in over 20 languages, including Hindi. Whether you’re changing outfits, tweaking skin tone, or adding elements to a scene, this tool delivers intuitive, fun, and powerful edits while maintaining ethical boundaries for responsible use.
Other AI features include:
-
AI Snap Mode
-
AI Glare Remover
-
AI Landscape Correction
Camera Upgrades: Great, But Not Perfect
The Realme 15 Pro features a triple-camera setup:
-
50MP main sensor
-
50MP ultra-wide lens
-
Unspecified tertiary sensor
The regular Realme 15 lacks the third lens. While the high-res ultra-wide lens addresses landscape photography better than past models, the absence of a telephoto lens may disappoint users who prioritize zoom capabilities. For context, even the Realme 14 Pro+ featured one.
On the front, both phones get a massive upgrade with a 50MP selfie camera (up from 8MP), and support 4K 60fps video recording—a great plus for content creators.
Immersive Curved AMOLED Display
Both smartphones sport a 6.8-inch AMOLED FHD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 6,500 nits, ensuring smooth visuals and excellent outdoor readability. The Realme 15 Pro takes it a notch higher with a 4D Curve+ display, featuring subtle curves on all four edges for an immersive feel.
Software and Update Policy
Running on Android 15 with Realme UI 6.0, the Realme 15 series offers a familiar and fluid software experience. Realme promises two major Android updates (up to Android 17) and three years of security patches, although this is less than what some competitors now offer (up to 4 years of OS updates).

Final Thoughts
The Realme 15 series brings together flagship features like a massive battery, curved AMOLED display, and AI-powered photography at mid-range pricing.
