Realme has unveiled its first smartphone of 2021 in China today. Dubbed the Realme V15 5G, it is a successor to the 5G-enabled Realme V5 from last year. It boasts major upgrades on the display, camera, and charging front. There’s also a newer MediaTek 5G chipset on board.
Starting off with the design, Realme V15 5G doesn’t look a whole lot different from its predecessor. The Koi fish-colored gradient that’s achieved via a double-plating process, coupled with the huge ‘Dare to Leap’ tagline on the rear does make it stand out. If you don’t like the flashy gradient or massive text though, there’s also the minimal black and blue variants available for the Realme V15. The smartphone is merely 8.1mm thick and weighs 176-grams, which is pretty great as compared to many current-gen phones that weigh over 200 grams.
The triple camera system on the rear is helmed by a 64MP primary sensor. This is an upgrade over the 48MP sensor aboard its predecessor. You will also find an 8MP ultra-wide camera with a 119-degree FOV, and a 2MP macro lens onboard the Realme V15. The cameras here support 4K video recording, 1080p videos @ 120fps, UIS Max stabilization, and a lot more.
Realme V15 has been priced starting at CNY 1,399 (~Rs. 15,850) for the 6GB+128GB base variant. You will have to shell out CNY 1,999 (~Rs. 22,650) for the 8GB+128GB variant. It is absurd that you need to pay close to Rs. 7,000 for additional RAM.
