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...

Samsung Galaxy M36 5G launches in India June 27 under ₹20K with AI camera, Circle to Search


Samsung Galaxy M36 5G launches in India June 27 under ₹20K with AI camera, Circle to Search


Samsung is bringing its next mid-range champion - the Galaxy M36 5G - to India on June 27. Priced under ₹20,000, this new model packs modern features like AI-powered camera modes and Circle to Search with Google, a move that continues Samsung’s push to bring advanced features to affordable devices.

This isn’t just another spec-sheet launch. If you spend time in India’s bustling phone markets - like I recently did at a crowded electronics lane in Delhi’s Karol Bagh - you’ll hear Android fans buzzing about which brand offers the most “value.” Increasingly, Samsung is reclaiming attention in that conversation.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Galaxy M36 5G and why it matters for India’s price-sensitive yet tech-hungry market.

Galaxy M36 5G: Key Specs & Features


Thickness: Slim 7.7mm profile


Display protection: Corning Gorilla Glass Victus


Color options: Velvet Black, Serene Green, Orange Haze


Camera: Advanced 50MP OIS triple camera, 4K video recording on front and back, with Auto Night Mode boosting Samsung’s Nightography


AI features: Circle to Search with Google


Expected price: Below ₹20,000

Why This Launch Matters


In a competitive market packed with Xiaomi, Realme, and Vivo phones, Samsung’s mid-range Galaxy M-series has always walked a careful line: balancing “premium feel” with budget-friendliness.

But over the past year, Samsung’s India strategy has been getting sharper:

Aggressive AI-first positioning, seen in the Galaxy S24 lineup and now trickling down to M-series


Pricing under ₹20,000, targeting the huge <₹25k market sweet spot


Offline + Online retail focus, catching both younger online buyers and traditional retail customers

What Makes the M36 5G Different?


As one Bengaluru-based mobile dealer told me this week, “Customers now ask if a phone has AI tools or night photography. Samsung is smart to bring these premium-like features under 20k.”

That sentiment reflects the shifting demand: not just specs, but user experience, particularly for India’s social-media-heavy, camera-happy crowd.

The Circle to Search tool is another standout - letting users search anything on-screen with a simple gesture - it’s a feature Indian buyers previously saw only on Samsung’s flagship S-series.

The Competition Heats Up


With Realme and Redmi pushing sub-20k phones hard, Samsung’s AI-led approach is designed to pull Android fans who want Google tools and better cameras, but don’t want to jump to higher S-series price points.

US vs India: What’s Different?


In India, M-series devices hold a strategic role - competing aggressively on price and specs, often with country-specific models.

In the US, Samsung leans more on Galaxy A-series for mid-range, with AI updates arriving later to these lower-priced models.

So the M36 5G’s India-first launch (with AI features built-in) shows how Samsung tailors devices for local demand trends, a key reason its India smartphone share has stayed solid even amid Chinese competition.

Samsung’s Recent India Strategy Trends


AI-first messaging in every series, even sub-20k


Broader Bespoke AI ecosystem coming to India - Samsung just confirmed a June 25 launch of AI-driven appliances


Offline retail partner focus, blending Samsung Smart Cafés with online flash sales


Pushing affordable 5G phones - to match the fast-growing Jio and Airtel 5G networks

Personal Take


As someone who’s covered India’s smartphone scene for over a decade, this launch feels like a smart, timely move.

Just 2-3 years ago, many mid-range Samsung phones lagged in terms of AI and camera tools versus Xiaomi or Vivo.

But with Circle to Search, 4K video on both cameras, and AI-driven Nightography, the M36 5G finally matches Indian buyers’ current tastes: social-ready photos, smart AI, and price-conscious appeal.

Key Takeaways


Samsung Galaxy M36 5G launches in India on June 27, priced under ₹20,000


Features AI tools like Circle to Search, 50MP triple OIS camera, 4K video


Samsung India strategy focuses on affordable AI-first phones + fast 5G


Differentiates from US lineup - India gets more value-driven M-series


Competes directly with Xiaomi, Realme, Vivo in sub-20k market

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...
