If you’ve been waiting for something new in the mid-range smartphone space, here’s some fresh news—Realme 15x 5G has officially dropped in India. The launch happened on October 1, 2025, and trust me, this device is already turning heads. Why? Because Realme has packed it with features that usually don’t make it into this price segment, and the brand clearly wants to flex in the budget 5G category.

Let’s break it down—because on paper, the Realme 15x 5G looks like a beast, and you’ll want to know if it actually lives up to the hype.

First things first: that battery

Let’s be real—most of us are tired of phones that die before dinner. Realme seems to have heard the collective groans and decided to slap a 7,000mAh battery inside the Realme 15x 5G. That’s almost tablet-level stamina. And yes, it supports SuperVOOC fast charging, so you won’t be chained to a wall for hours. If battery life is your top priority, this alone makes the phone worth considering.

Display that’s smooth as butter

The 6.8-inch display isn’t just big, it also comes with a 144Hz refresh rate. That means scrolling, gaming, and even doomscrolling Twitter (or X, whatever Elon’s calling it now) feels super smooth. Sure, the resolution is HD+ at 1570×720 pixels—not exactly flagship sharp—but for this price bracket, the high refresh rate makes up for it.

Cameras: doubling down on 50MP

Usually in budget phones, the front camera gets ignored. But here’s where the Realme 15x 5G gets cheeky—it’s got a 50MP rear camera and a 50MP front camera. That’s right, your selfies will finally stop looking like they were clicked on a potato. Whether it’s late-night street photography or your 43rd gym mirror selfie, you’ll have pixels to spare.

Performance under the hood

The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor paired with an ARM Mali GPU. Nothing groundbreaking, but solid enough for gaming sessions, multitasking, and daily use without stutters. With 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, you’re getting a decent setup, plus the option to expand up to 2TB with a microSD card (yes, two terabytes—basically overkill for storing memes, but hey, why not?).

Build, Design and Durability

Realme didn’t cut corners here either. The IP69 rating means the Realme 15x 5G can handle dust and water splashes like a champ. The phone weighs 212 grams and measures 8.28mm in thickness, so it’s not featherlight, but it does feel sturdy in hand. And those colors—Aqua Blue, Marine Blue, and Maroon Red—add a bit of flair compared to the boring blacks and greys we’re used to.

Software experience

Running on Android 15 with Realme UI 6.0, the Realme 15x 5G promises a clean, modern interface. Of course, Realme UI still has its quirks, but with Android 15 at its core, you’re getting the latest software goodies out of the box.

Connectivity and extras

The basics are all here: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, USB Type-C, and the usual set of sensors including gyroscope, proximity sensor, compass, accelerometer, ambient light sensor, and even a temperature sensor. It’s like Realme threw in every possible sensor just to flex.

Price in India

Here’s the part you’ve been waiting for—the Realme 15x 5G is positioned as a budget 5G phone, and it’s already available across e-commerce platforms in India. Considering the specs, Realme is clearly aiming to dominate the mid-range, price-conscious buyer segment with this one.

Should you buy the Realme 15x 5G?

If your checklist includes long battery life, good cameras, smooth display, and future-proof 5G, then yes, the Realme 15x 5G is a solid option. Of course, it’s not perfect—the display resolution could’ve been better, and 212g might feel heavy for some. But when you consider what’s packed in at this price point, it’s hard to complain.

This is the kind of device that makes you think: “Wait, am I really paying budget money for all this?”

Final thoughts

The Realme 15x 5G feels like Realme’s statement piece in 2025’s smartphone game—big battery, bold cameras, clean design, and enough power to keep up with daily life. It may not be a flagship killer, but it sure is a budget king.

If you’re shopping for a phone that just won’t quit on you halfway through the day—and can still click great pictures for the gram—the Realme 15x 5G deserves to be on your shortlist.
