Realme launches its first smartphone for 2021 in the realme V15 5G. The midrange phone is a great start for the year, featuring 5G connectivity and a large 6.4-inch AMOLED display, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 800U.
The realme V15 5G was unveiled in China and comes in two variants — 6GB + 128GB priced at CNY 1,499 and 8GB + 128GB for CNY 1,999.

The phone has a large 6.4-inch FHD AMOLED display with a 180Hz touch sampling rate and an in-display fingerprint sensor underneath. At the back are three rear cameras, namely a 64MP main, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP macro. While for selfies, the phone relies on a 16MP shooter.
Inside, the realme V15 5G is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 800U with a copper pipe that dissipates heat. The processor is paired with 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Battery capacity is set at 4,310mAh with 50W fast charging (the phone ships with a 65W fast charger in the box).

Price and Availability
The realme V15 5G is priced at CNY 1,499 for the 6GB + 128GB, and CNY 1,999 for the 8GB + 128GB. Converted to local currency, that’s around Php 11,200 and Php 14,900, respectively.
