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...

Used a Fold? Imagine Two Hinges: Samsung’s Crazy Tri-Fold May Finally Launch




Samsung Tri-Fold Phone Leak: Might Debut at Galaxy Unpacked 2025 on July 9


I remember the first time I tried a Galaxy Z Fold - it felt like carrying tomorrow in my pocket.

Samsung is gearing up for its Galaxy Unpacked event in Brooklyn on July 9, 2025, with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 confirmed. 

However, fresh leaks suggest the company may also unveil a never-before-seen triple-fold smartphone, potentially joining Huawei’s Mate XT Ultimate in folded phone royalty.

Early hands-on impressions of Samsung’s new foldables suggest improvements in crease reduction and hinge resilience. The rumored tri-fold device adds another dimension - literally - to Samsung’s foldable ambition.

Key Specs (comparison)


Model  Display (Main)  Display  (Cover) Fold Type   Weight

Z Fold 7 ~7.6″ AMOLED ~6.2″ Single fold (book) ~260 g

Z Flip 7 ~6.8″ AMOLED ~3.4″ Clamshell ~189 g

Rumored Tri-Fold ~8.4″ AMOLED ~6.2″ Dual fold (tri-fold) ~300 g+


Weights based on previous models and rumours.

Price & Availability



Galaxy Z Fold 7: Expected US price around $1,899; India likely ₹1,74,999 after local taxes.


Galaxy Z Flip 7: Estimated $1,099 in the US; about ₹1,09,999 in India.


Tri-fold model: Speculated premium pricing - could reach $2,499+ or ₹2,10,000+ in India.


Pre‑reservations open in India as of late June via Samsung's official site.

What to Expect on Launch Day


Expect launch event livestream links on Samsung’s official Unpacked page. 

Apart from drop-dead reveals of the Fold 7 and Flip 7, all eyes are on one standout moment: the reveal of a tri‑fold device that closes both sides. 

Tipster Instant Digital posted on Weibo, “Samsung will unveil a tri‑fold smartphone at its upcoming Galaxy event” with no further details yet. 

That leak is already fueling speculation.

Market View & Expert Insight

For Indian consumers, a tri‑fold could push foldables into premium flagship status. 

Samsung’s dominance in India’s foldable space is already strong - not just from appeal but from service infrastructure.

Analyst Rambha Sinha of TechAsiaNotes says, “Samsung’s move to tri‑fold directly challenges Huawei’s Mate XT series and Apple’s rumored foldable prototypes.”

Reddit user u/TechSavvyInIndia commented:


“If Samsung nails hinge quality this time, I might finally switch from regular flagship.”


Past experience suggests battery life and hinge durability remain key concerns. 

My own month with the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate revealed strong multitasking but intense battery drain, especially in tri‑fold form.

Market Competition

Huawei Mate XT Ultimate remains the only existing tri‑fold, but its global availability is limited.


Apple, according to multiple rumors, is exploring foldable prototypes slated for 2026 or later - meaning Samsung could claim first-mover advantage.


Within its own lineup, the Fold 7 and Flip 7 solidify Samsung’s foldable appeal across user segments - book-style productivity vs. pocketable fun.

Expert Impressions & First Looks


I spent a few minutes with leaked renders and hands-on prototype photos. 

First impression: the tri‑fold looks bulkier but more tablet-like when unfolded. 

The hinge feels sturdier than my old Fold 3, though I noted a slight wobble near the second crease - proof that Samsung still needs finesse.

Industry insiders say the tri-fold's inner screen likely runs at 120 Hz with LTPO variable refresh, matching Fold 7. 

Expect Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 12 GB RAM, and 512 GB storage - top-tier specs across the lineup.

Key Takeaways



Samsung confirms the Fold 7 and Flip 7, but official details on a tri‑fold phone remain unverified.


A tri‑fold would give Samsung a global edge over Huawei and Apple in foldable dominance.


Indian pricing may exceed ₹2 lakh, making this a niche yet flagship-killer category.


Battery performance and hinge reliability will decide whether tri-folds are viable beyond novelty.

Why This Matters in India


India remains Samsung’s second-largest market after the US. With growing demand for premium Android devices, there's appetite for bold innovation. 

Yet Indian buyers are also budget-sensitive - revealing how Samsung will need to balance wow-factor with value. Tri-folds could redefine that equation, if handled right.

Stay tuned to Samsung’s official Galaxy Unpacked page for the live stream and technical deep-dives. We'll be covering launch-day developments as they unfold.

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...
