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...

OnePlus Nord 5 Brings 144 fps Gaming with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3

OnePlus Nord 5 Brings 144 fps Gaming with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3


OnePlus Nord 5 Promises 144 fps Gaming Stamina with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, July Launch in India


At a recent gaming demo in Delhi, I noticed a pro player casually smashing headshots on Call of Duty Mobile - on what turned out to be the Nord 5 prototype. That reaction spoke louder than any spec sheet.

Key Takeaways


Sustained 144 fps gameplay in BGMI/CoDM for up to 5 hours on 12 GB RAM variant


Powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, marking a flagship-level chipset in a mid-range Nord phone


Flat 144 Hz display with punch‑hole, slim bezels - launching July 2–8


Focus on thermals and endurance: Adaptive Frame Booster, Pro Gamer Mode enabled


Leaked pricing: ~₹30,000 in India, ~$355 in US markets

Field Report: Preview Insights


OnePlus is billing the Nord 5 as its fastest mid-range phone yet. Insiders confirm: “We can sustain 144 fps in CoDM/BGMI for up to 5 hours,” with volume capped at 75 dB and screen set to 280 nits - a controlled environment, but impressive nonetheless.

Powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and backed by 12 GB of RAM, it leverages Adaptive Frame Booster and a dedicated Pro Gamer Mode to maintain peak frame rates. 

The flat OLED panel, featuring a central punch-hole and slim bezel design, is tuned to a speedy 144 Hz refresh - ideal for gaming marathons.

A Gamer’s View


For mobile gamers in India, this could change the game. Those late-night sessions, five matches deep, frequently hit performance throttling or frame dips. 

With sustained high frame rates, Nord 5 could finally deliver smooth, consistent gameplay when it counts - and that’s a big deal for serious players.

US vs India Nuance


In India, where mid-range gaming phones thrive, a ₹30,000 (≈$360) offering with flagship-grade 144 fps stamina will stand out - especially given the BGMI and CoDM popularity.

 Meanwhile, in the US, where OnePlus Nord series hasn’t officially launched recently, the $355 price may overlap with Pixel A-series or Samsung FE models. 

That said, North American buyers will appreciate the gaming-first approach, even if they’ll likely import it or wait for global availability.

Competitor Comparison


Samsung Galaxy A-series / FE: Capped at 120 Hz with mid-tier chips, throttling during long sessions


Motorola Edge (mid-range): Known for clean media playback, but lags under sustained gaming heat


Realme GT series: Packs performance but often sacrifices battery life or display smoothness

Nord 5’s sustained high-frame promise and dedicated thermal controls give it a rare edge in endurance gaming performance.

What Matters Most


Thermals: Heat is the Achilles’ heel of mid-range gaming phones. The Ostensibly improved VC cooling system (radius ~7,300 mm²) seems built to tackle that.


Battery endurance: The rumored 6,650–7,000 mAh battery with 80–100W charging suggests full days of play between charges.


Display quality: 144 Hz flat OLED adds both responsiveness and comfort - especially outdoors.
Price & Availability

Leaked MSRP: ~₹30,000 in India; ~$355 in the US (import-ready)


Launch date: July 2 for global preview, July 8 rollout in India


Buying info: Expected via OnePlus online store, Amazon India, and select e-commerce platforms

Specifications


Display: Flat 144 Hz OLED, punch‑hole design, slim bezels


Processor: Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 (flagship-grade)


RAM: 12 GB (used in performance testing)


Battery: ~6,650–7,000 mAh, 80–100W fast charging


Cameras: 50 MP main + 8 MP ultrawide rear; ~16 MP front


Cooling: Largest vapor chamber in Nord so far (~7,300 mm²)


Software: OxygenOS with Adaptive Frame Booster and Pro Gamer Mode

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...
