Realme 15T vs. Realme 15—Should you really save?

The most difficult choice in the smartphone market comes from picking two phones from the same series. Just like going with the Realme 15 or settling with its “just a bit” cut-down version, the Realme 15T. The difference between the two is around 3,000 INR, which might confuse the users about whether they should go with the bigger version or save some money. So, let us break it down for you and help you choose the right choice.

Design, Processor, and Performance Comparison

In terms of design, one can easily identify that both the phones pack an iPhone-like design, where the Realme 15T literally mimics it. Both the phones look good in terms of design so there are no such complaints; however, there are color differences between both.

At the heart of any smartphone lies its processor and both the phones pack a decent processor for day-to-day tasks. For example, Realme 15T comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 max chipset and Realme 15 packs the Dimensity 7300+ chipset. If you are a bit more inclined towards gaming or heavy usage, then Realme 15 will be the better choice for you, as it also packs a faster UFS 3.1 storage option. However, there are no compromises in the RAM options, as both phones offer up to 12GB of RAM for smooth multitasking.

Display Comparison

Now coming to the display, it really breaks down to your preference. There are users who do not care if their display is of high resolution or not; they do not even care if their display is AMOLED or not. The good part is that both the displays are amoled so you are not going to notice that much of the difference. For the resolution part, of course, you get a 1280×2800 resolution display with a 144 Hz refresh rate in Realme 15 as compared to 1080×2372 at a 120 Hz refresh rate in Realme 15T. So, on paper, yes, 15 brings a better deal as compared to the 15T.

Camera comparison

Well, both smartphones are equipped with a powerful 50MP front camera, giving you good-quality photos, especially in enough sunlight. In Realme 15T you get a 50MP main camera sensor with a 2MP secondary camera where you can record videos at 1080@60 fps, which goes down to 30 fps while recording with the front selfie camera. On the other hand, the Realme 15 has a better 8 MP secondary camera and you can record up to 4k at 30 fps with both the rear and front cameras. If you are a content creator, then the quality of Realme 15 is going to feel superior.

Battery and Charging Comparison

The best part about both these phones is that they pack a massive 7000 mAh battery, delivering you exceptional usage times. However, Realme 15T supports 60W SuperVOOC charging as compared to 80W SuperVOOC charging in Realme 15. So, if you are somebody who wants that fast charging, then this 20W charging speed is surely going to drop the impact.

Sensors, connectivity, and water rating comparison

You are getting all the necessary sensors; however, the Realme 15T does not have an in-display optical fingerprint sensor and infrared remote control as compared to the Realme 15. Sadly, none of these devices have NFC, which is a turn-off because the pricing is already excessive for both the phones. For water, you are getting up to IP 69, so you do not have to worry about water with both the phones.

Pricing of the phones

  • The Realme 15T starts from INR 23000 (INR 21000 during pre-sale) for the 8 GB + 128 GB and you can go up to 12 + 256 GB.
  • Realme 15 starts from INR 26000 for the 8 GB + 128 GB and you can go up to 12 + 256 GB.

Final Recommendation: Save or pay more?

The final decision comes down to a few things that only you can answer. You must save and go with Realme 15T if all you will do from your phone is consume content, use a few banking apps, chat with friends, and do light office work like document checking or opening PDFs. Light gaming here is fine too but do not expect yourself to be doing too good at competitive or multiplayer games. However, if you want to create content by taking advantage of that 4k recording quality, want more details in camera shots, want to do some average to heavy gaming, want your phone to charge as fast as possible and want a bit better display, then it is worth spending more to get the Realme 15 5G. If you ask Smartphone Dose, then SPD would go for Realme 15 5G if the difference is only INR 3,000.
