Realme 15 Pro Review: Delivers a balanced and practical package
The last series from Realme made the mid-range segment quite interesting. At the start of the year, I reviewed the Realme 14 Pro+, whose cold-sensitive colour-changing technology impressed the users. Now, the company has unveiled the 15th series, and featured here is the Pro variant. As a successor, the phone gets its basics right in terms of upgrades, like the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and a jump in battery power reaching 7,000 mAh. But one persistent question remains - Can the new Realme 15 Pro justify its price tag of ₹31,999? Let's find out! Design In terms of aesthetics, Realme continues to evolve, and the 15 Pro is a testament to that progress. The Silk Purple variant (review unit) feels sleek, modern, and surprisingly light at just 187 grams, despite packing a huge battery. The phone is also available in Flowing Silver and Velvet Green, all featuring subtle textures that elevate the in-hand feel. The matte finish adds grip without compromising on premium vibes. The camera layout sees a change too, ditching the circle of the 14 Pro+ for a rectangular module. Ports and buttons are ergonomically placed with satisfying tactile feedback. You get a dual SIM tray (but no microSD card support), USB Type-C at the bottom, and stereo speakers that deliver punchy sound. The front is dominated by a stunning curved display with ultra-slim bezels, lending the phone an immersive look. And yes, Realme didn't skimp on durability, there's IP69 dust and water resistance. In comparison, the 14 Pro+ felt slightly thicker (7.73mm vs. 7.69mm) and heavier, making the 15 Pro more ergonomic of the two. Display The Realme 15 Pro comes with a 6.78 inch flexible AMOLED panel. The 1.5K resolution (2800x1280) ensures razor-sharp visuals, while the 144 Hz adaptive refresh rate delivers buttery-smooth transitions whether you're gaming or scrolling Instagram. What truly makes this panel stand out, however, is its insane peak brightness of 6,500 nits, a figure that puts it ahead of the Realme 14 Pro+ (1,500 nits), iQOO Neo 10R (4,500 nits), and even Nothing 3a Pro (3,000 nits). (For top technology news of the day, subscribe to our tech newsletter Today's Cache) Despite being a curved screen, the hinge design and curvature are so refined that screen reflections are minimal, and there are no visible creases even when viewed from extreme angles. With HDR10+ certification, 10-bit colour depth, and 100% DCI-P3 coverage, the display is a treat for binge-watchers and mobile gamers alike. Whether under direct sunlight or in bed with the lights off, this screen doesn't falter. OS & AI Realme 15 Pro runs on UI 6.0 based on Android 15, offering a refreshed UI that's functional and fluid. While some pre-installed bloatware still lingers, something we also noticed on the 14 Pro+, you can uninstall most third-party apps to clean things up. New features include customisable app refresh rates, sleep mode, and screen colour temperature adjustment, giving users more control over their experience. What truly differentiates this device is its AI-powered suite, led by AI Edit Genie and AI Party Mode. The former helps edit images intelligently (perfect for influencers), while the latter adds custom glowing light effects and watermarks to party shots, giving them an edge over social media competitors. Compared to the AI Snap Mode and MagicGlow 1.0 on the 14 Pro+, these new tools feel more refined and purposeful. Performance The latest Realme 15 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, an improvement over the 7s Gen 3 found in the 14 Pro+ and Nothing 3a Pro. The 4nm-based chip delivers snappy, efficient performance. Paired with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB UFS 3.1 storage, it handles multitasking like a breeze. On Geekbench, it scored 1162 (single-core), 3548 (multi-core), and 4569 in the GPU score. Gaming is where the phone truly shines. Titles like BGMI, Call of Duty: Mobile ran smoothly without any noticeable frame drops. Thanks to the upgraded composite copper foil, VC vapor chamber and graphene cooling system, the device barely heated up even after 45 minutes of continuous gameplay. The 15 Pro feels responsive in daily usage, app launches are instant, animations fluid and even AI-based features execute without lag. Whether you're a gamer, multitasker, or a power user, the performance package here checks all the boxes. Camera Realme is clearly doubling down on camera performance, and the 15 Pro is proof. It features a dual 50 MP rear setup (with Sony IMX896 sensor and 2-axis OIS) and a 50 MP front camera, all capable of recording up to 4K at 60fps. Daylight images come out sharp with natural colours and excellent contrast. The Sony IMX896 sensor captures detailed textures, and the dynamic range is wide enough to handle harsh lighting. Compared to the iQOO Neo 10R and Nothing 3a Pro, the Realme 15 Pro's colour science leans toward realism rather than boosted saturation. Portrait shots are particularly impressive, with clean edge detection and pleasing background blur. Night photography benefits from AI MagicGlow 2.0, which minimises noise while retaining detail. Even without a dedicated telephoto or ultra-wide sensor, the phone delivers usable zoomed shots up to 20x digital, although anything above 10x starts to lose clarity. The MagicGlow dual-tone LED flash assists well in low light portraits, especially for capturing natural skin tones. On the selfie front, the 50 MP front shooter is a powerhouse. With eye-tracking autofocus, dual-video support, and beauty mode, it's built for vloggers and content creators. Whether in daylight or dim indoor settings, selfies were consistently sharp, well-exposed, and ready for Instagram. Battery The headline feature in 15 Pro is undoubtedly the 7,000 mAh battery, a first in such a slim form factor. Realme claims it to be the 'slimmest 7,000 mAh smartphone', and after days of testing, that claim holds water. On moderate usage, the phone easily lasted a day and a half without begging for a charger. Charging is handled by an 80 W SuperVOOC system, which takes the phone from 0 to 100% in about 60 minutes. The Realme 15 Pro also supports 10 W reverse wired charging, adding a layer of utility that many competitors skip. Verdict Starting at ₹31,999, the Realme 15 Pro cements itself as a well-rounded powerhouse. It improves upon its predecessor with a more efficient processor, brighter display, better camera software and a much larger battery. From performance to AI smarts, from design polish to everyday usability, this phone ticks all the boxes. While the iQOO Neo 10 might still hold the edge in sheer GPU muscle and the Nothing 3a Pro scores high on design uniqueness, the Realme 15 Pro delivers a balanced, practical package with genuine innovation where it counts. For users asking whether this is a worthy successor to the 14 Pro+ and a viable alternative to other 30K segment players, the answer is a confident yes.
