Design & Display
The realme 15 Pro packs a 6.8" 144Hz OLED Display and is MIL-STD-810H compliant with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection. It's not the smallest phone to hold in hand but it's a pretty light one, being weighed just 187g. Available in several unique colour variants, we've gotten ahold of the Flowing Silver variant, which looks white with marbling detailing in our eyes. Regardless, it's a pretty phone.
Colourful content on the realme 15 Pro also looks vibrant without being oversaturated, and with 6500 nits peak brightness means you can see your screen well under Malaysia's scorching afternoon sun.
Performance & Battery
Powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, realme 15 Pro feels smooth to run, handing everything we threw at it - from multitasking between work apps to gaming sessions with PUBG Mobile and Genshin Impact. No stuttering and no overheating even when we were gaming on fairly graphic-demanding games like Persona 5; realme 15 Pro was smooth sailing.
However, take note that graphics might not be the best on the realme 15 Pro. We could see slight stuttering between motions in fast-paced character movements within fighting scenes in Persona 5. This is not very obvious to casual gamers and would be fine in most games, but graphic-lovers might want to take note if they're seeking a phone that's capable of handling high graphics.
realme 5 Pro also comes with a beefy 7,000mAh battery, supporting 80W fast wired charging. You should be able to go through two full days of moderate use, and is great for extended casual use during a long busy work day or travelling during trips.
Camera
In general, with a dual 50MP camera setup (including a 50MP front camera) with 4K 60fps recording, most photos taken on the realme 15 Pro are of average quality. Therefore, this is not the ideal photography-master to have. Colours in night photographs are above average though, but that's not the highlight.
realme 15 Pro shows its interesting side especially when you utilise the AI Edit Genie and AI Party modes. Both the AI features Party Mode and AI Edit Genie—which you can activate through verbal instructions— lets you enjoy realme's "Photography Master" promise.
The AI Party Mode is particularly clever - it automatically detects group shots and optimizes settings for everyone to look their best. Not only that, generative add-ons with the the AI Edit Genie were pretty fun and almsot natural in results.
Overall, if casual photography is what you like, here is where you'll find the realme 15 Pro fun for you.
