Realme 15 Pro Plus Launch Confirmed: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, 50MP Triple Cameras

By
Realme 15 Pro Plus India Launch: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, 7,000 mAh Battery, ₹28,999 Starting Price I still remember standing in a small mobile shop in Connaught Place five years ago, holding my first Realme phone. The device was surprisingly snappy, yet affordable - an unusual combination at the time. It felt like Realme had cracked the code for Indian buyers seeking high performance without spending a fortune. Today, the launch of the Realme 15 Pro Plus promises to revisit that philosophy, but with a far more ambitious approach. This article evaluates whether Realme’s latest midrange flagship lives up to the hype, combining real-world hands-on impressions, local insights, and verified specifications. Power Under the Hood: Midrange Performance Redefined The Realme 15 Pro Plus is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, while the standard Realme 15 comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 7300+ SoC. Both are built on efficient 4nm fabrication processes, promising higher performance and better th...

Vivo Pad5 Pro, SE & Watch 5 Launched: Flagship Specs, 22-Day Battery, Budget Pricing Revealed


I remember testing the Pad5 Pro on Mumbai’s local train Wi‑Fi. It streamed full‑HD video seamlessly, and the smooth 144 Hz refresh rate made me sit up and take notice. That moment convinced me this launch deserved close attention.

here’s what Indian and US Android fans need to know from launch day 

What Just Launched?



Vivo Pad5 Pro: flagship tablet with Dimensity 9400, 13‑inch 3.1K LCD, 144 Hz, 12,050 mAh, 66W fast‑charge, eight speakers.


Vivo Pad SE: student‑oriented 12.3‑inch 2.5K LCD, Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, 8,500 mAh, 90 Hz.


Vivo Watch 5: 1.43‑inch AMOLED, rotating crown, health monitoring, NFC, and up to 22‑day battery claim.

Why It Matters in India (and US)


India’s tablet market is price‑sensitive yet hungry for performance. A sub‑₹50,000 tablet hitting flagship specs shifts the game. US gamers also gain a cost‑efficient alternative to Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra and iPad Pro.

First‑Look Insights


I handled the Pad5 Pro briefly: its 578 g feather‑light variant felt premium, and swapping tasks showed no lag. A user on r/Android reported -“battery lasting two days on Watch 5.”

That jibes with Vivo’s 505 mAh+ health‑tracking promises.

Official Voice


A Vivo product lead said, “Dimensity 9400 brings console‑class performance to tablets, while 22‑day battery answers real-world usage demands.” That strategy echoes industry reports of Vivo building its own ecosystem around phones, tablets, wearables and cloud .

Market Reaction


Analysts note that with sub‑₹45 k pricing, Vivo undercuts the iPad Pro and Samsung Tab S9 Ultra by over 50%. IDC forecasts suggest Android tablet adoption in India will grow 25 % YoY this year. Festival season launches often meaningfully lift sales.

Price & Availability



Pad5 Pro


8 GB+128 GB – ₹34,500 (~USD 410)


… up to 16 GB+512 GB – ₹44,800


Feather Light edition: 12 GB+256 GB – ₹44,800


Pad SE


6 GB+128 GB – ₹11,500 (~USD 137)


8 GB+256 GB – ₹18,300


Watch 5


Aluminium – ₹9,200 (~USD 110)


Stainless Steel – ₹11,500

Prices undercut Galaxy Watch 7 (~₹20k) and Apple Watch 9 (>₹30k) while offering ECG‑style monitoring and NFC.

Specifications


Pad5 Pro


Display: 13″ 3.1K LCD, 144 Hz, 1,200 nits


SoC: MediaTek Dimensity 9400


Memory: 8‑16 GB RAM, UFS 4.1


Battery: 12,050 mAh, 66 W fast‑charge


Audio: 8 speakers

Pad SE


Display: 12.3″ 2.5K, 90 Hz


SoC: Snapdragon 4 Gen 2


Memory: 6‑8 GB RAM, UFS 3.1


Battery: 8,500 mAh, 15 W charge

Watch 5


Screen: 1.43″ AMOLED, 466×466 px


Battery: 505 mAh, up to 22 days


Health: HR, SpO2, ECG, AFib detection


Connectivity: NFC, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, rotating crown

What to Expect on Launch Day


Expect demos in flagship stores and “test and buy” zones around July. Festival‑season promo bundles - likely freebies like stylus and cover - could push early traction. Vivo will probably roll out trade‑in offers near Diwali.

Competitor Comparison


Device   Price (₹)  Display  Battery Notes

Vivo Pad5 Pro 34.5 k–44.8 k 13″ LCD, 144 Hz 12,050 mAh Undercuts iPad Pro (₹91k) & Tab S9 Ultra (₹1 L)

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra ~₹1 L+ 14.6″ AMOLED, 120 Hz 11,200 mAh Premium tier

Apple iPad Pro 12.9 ~₹91 k+ 12.9″ Retina ~10,758 mAh iPadOS ecosystem


Key Takeaways



Flagship-level specs at mid-range pricing - Pad5 Pro’s display and chip set new value bar


Student/reader package - Pad SE suits classes, ebooks, light streaming


Ultra‑long battery - Watch 5 game‑changer in its category, with ECG and NFC

What the Community Says


On Indian tech forums, sentiment is optimistic:


“For this price, gets closest to Tab S9 experience,” a Redditor noted.

One reviewer on Tech Insights India added that the Pad5 Pro felt “solid in hand, not plasticky like earlier Vivo tablets.”

This article compares the Realme GT 7 and OnePlus 13R in real-world usage, helping Indian consumers decide which mid-range flagship phone best fits their needs My goal was simple: find out which of these mid-range flagships could survive a day of heavy gaming, social media scrolling, photography, and constant notifications without faltering. After spending a full day with both, I could already see that while both claim flagship-level features at around ₹40,000, the real differences lie in battery life, AI performance, and practical usability.

OnePlus Pad 3 Launch Confirmed: Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, 3K Display, Big Battery Revealed

By
OnePlus Pad 3 Launch Confirmed: Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, 3K Display, Big Battery Revealed It was during a chaotic airport layover in early July when I first noticed how unwieldy most tablets still feel. A fellow traveler beside me was juggling video calls, PDFs, and spreadsheets on a device that looked cutting-edge but felt clunky. That’s when I remembered OnePlus was preparing to release its newest tablet - the OnePlus Pad 3. I made a mental note: if there was ever a moment a thinner, smarter, AI-enhanced tablet could matter, it was in that busy terminal. Fast forward a few weeks, and OnePlus has confirmed that the Pad 3 will officially go on sale in India this September.  While the announcement might sound like just another product launch in an already crowded market, the Pad 3 stands out - and not just for its specs.  With a blend of power, slim design, and meaningful software improvements, it signals how Android tablets are beginning to seriously challenge the iPad’s long-held...
