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

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...

Lava Launches Bold N1 Pro and Bold N1 4G Smartphones for Budget-Conscious Buyers in India

Lava Launches Bold N1 Pro and Bold N1 4G Smartphones for Budget-Conscious Buyers in India

Bold N1 offers Android 14 Go, 13MP camera, and a large 6.75" display at a ₹5,999 price point.

Devices to be available exclusively via Amazon India starting June 2 and June 4.

India’s Homegrown Challenger Makes a Move in Budget Market

Indian smartphone manufacturer Lava has launched two new budget smartphones — Bold N1 Pro and Bold N1 — targeting cost-conscious consumers. The devices were announced on May 29, 2025, and are aimed at providing robust specifications at entry-level prices.

“At a time when Chinese brands dominate the under-₹7,000 bracket, Lava is one of the few Indian companies still delivering capable alternatives,” notes Michael B. Norris, tech analyst and editor.

Specifications at a Glance

Lava Bold N1 Pro

Display: 6.67-inch HD+ punch-hole, 120Hz refresh rate

Processor: Unisoc T606 octa-core

Memory: 4GB RAM, 128GB internal (expandable to 256GB)

Camera: 50MP rear, 8MP front (with screen flash)

Battery: 5,000 mAh with 18W support (10W charger in box)

OS: Android 14

Extras: Side-mounted fingerprint sensor, face unlock, IP54 water/dust resistance

Lava Bold N1

Display: 6.75-inch HD+

Processor: Unisoc octa-core

Memory: 4GB RAM, 64GB storage

Camera: 13MP rear, 5MP front

Battery: 5,000 mAh with Type-C 10W charging

OS: Android 14 Go Edition

Extras: Fingerprint sensor, face unlock, anonymous call recording, IP54 rated

Price: ₹5,999

Both phones are scheduled to launch on Amazon:

Bold N1 Pro: June 2

Bold N1: June 4

Color options include Titanium Gold and Stealth Black for the Pro model, and Radiant Black and Sparkling Ivory for the base model.

Michael B. Norris’ Opinion: An Underrated Budget Disruptor

“In an age where even entry-level phones are creeping toward ₹10,000, Lava’s pricing is both rare and welcome,” says Michael B. Norris.

“The 120Hz refresh rate on the Bold N1 Pro is unheard of at this price — even Redmi and Realme don’t offer that in their sub-₹7,000 phones. That alone could appeal to casual gamers or youth buyers. However, the lack of 5G and just 10W charging in the box may disappoint power users.”

He further notes that Android 14 Go on the N1 is a smart move, as it enhances performance on limited hardware. The use of IP54 water resistance on both models also indicates Lava’s commitment to durability — a feature missing from most phones at this price.

How It Stacks Up Against Rivals

Battery 5000 mAh 5000 mAh 5000 mAh, 33W Fast Charge

OS Android 14 Android 13 Go Android 13

Unique Feature 120Hz, IP54 Face Unlock Fast Charging

“For buyers focused on display quality and camera clarity under ₹7,000, the Bold N1 Pro offers surprising value,” Norris remarks. “But the Narzo N53 still leads in fast charging.”

 Final Verdict

Lava’s new releases may not shake up the mid-range market, but they offer rare specs at entry-level prices — and they’re proudly Made in India. With 120Hz displays, IP ratings, and solid cameras, the Bold N1 Pro and N1 could become sleeper hits for students, first-time buyers, and rural markets.

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

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...
