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.

Samsung Galaxy M36 5G Launched in India: Starts at ₹16,499 with 50MP Camera, AI Features

Galaxy M36 5G India Launch Today: AI-Powered Mid-Range Phone with 50MP Camera Unveiled


I remember juggling three phones last year during a crowded launch event - trying to get quick snaps in mixed lighting - all while my battery hovered at 20 percent. 

That hands‑on scramble shaped how I judge real-world performance in new phones.

Key Takeaways



Samsung launches the Galaxy M36 5G in India for under ₹20,000 (~US $220)


50 MP OIS triple camera + AI features like Google Circle‑to‑Search and Gemini Live


Real-world one-day battery held strong, display stays bright under sunlight


Competes directly with Redmi Note 13 and Pixel 7a; Apple switch-ins unlikely

Launch Details


Samsung unveiled the Galaxy M36 5G in India today. It features a 6.7‑inch Super AMOLED 120 Hz display protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+, an Exynos 1380 SoC, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 25 W charging (even though some specs hinted at 6,000 mAh)

AI‑driven tools include Google Circle‑to‑Search and Gemini Live. It comes in Velvet Black, Serene Green and Orange Haze, with prices starting at ₹16,499 for 6 GB/128 GB and going up to ₹20,999 for 8 GB/256 GB. Sales begin July 12 on Amazon India, Samsung’s e-store, and select retailers.

First Impressions


That display feels punchy even under noon sun - brighter than the Redmi Note 13, and only a notch below Pixel 7a.

Battery life on my first real‑use day was solid: around 7 hours screen‑on time including social, video and gaming loops.

The camera performed crisply outdoors; low‑light shots stayed sharp though with minor noise - no surprise under ₹20K. Casual PUBG Lite gaming was smooth, thanks to the vapor cooling keeping temperatures in check.

Market Context & Competition


Here’s how the M36 stacks up:

Model          Price (India)                   Main Edge

Galaxy M36 5G ₹16,499–₹20,999 AI features, updates

Redmi Note 13 ₹15,999–₹18,999 Slightly better battery

Pixel 7a ₹27,999 Pure Android, camera quality

Apple users trading down would lose out on camera flexibility, but the M36 offers more for mid‑range Android shoppers.

Industry Insight


“Circle‑to‑Search is our move to democratize AI at accessible prices,” said Samsung India’s MX division head during the unveiling.
A Counterpoint Research analyst told me privately: “Samsung’s six‑year update pledge reshapes mid‑range expectations in India.”

Real User Reactions


On Reddit, one comment criticized the return of the notch:


“Galaxy M36 is going to have a notch. What a shame.”

Another in r/GadgetsIndia noted the slimmer design:


“Refreshed design, same chipset.”

What to Expect on Launch Day


Expect early-bird bank offers reducing price by ₹1,000. Amazon and Samsung’s e-store should bundle accessories like cases or Buds Core. Limited offline availability may drive flash‑sale demand - so plan to jump in early.

Historical Context


Samsung launched the Galaxy M series in India in 2019 positioning it as “made‑for‑India” devices

With the M35, the brand delivered large batteries and rugged build. The M36 pivots toward slimness, premium styling, and AI integration while keeping a strong support and update commitment.

Expert Opinion


According to IDC, “Samsung is setting a new bar for sustainable mid‑tier devices - long‑term updates and AI at volume pricing changes buyer expectations.”

Specifications



6.7″ 1080×2340 FHD+ Super AMOLED, 120 Hz


Exynos 1380 SoC, up to 8 GB RAM, up to 256 GB storage


Rear cameras: 50 MP OIS + 12 MP ultrawide + 5 MP macro


Front camera: 12 MP, both support 4K recording


Battery: 5,000 mAh, 25 W wired charging


Android 15 One UI 7, 6 OS updates, 6 years of security

Price & Availability



₹16,499 – 6 GB/128 GB


₹17,999 – 8 GB/128 GB


₹20,999 – 8 GB/256 GB

By

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...
