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...

vivo Y29t 5G Malaysia Launch: 6000mAh Battery, Dimensity 6300

vivo Y29t 5G Launched in Malaysia With 6000mAh Battery, Dimensity 6300, IP64 Rating From RM899


Vivo Y29t 5G Quietly Launches in Malaysia: What It Could Mean for Indian and US Markets


Vivo has quietly slipped a new contender into the mid-range smartphone space. 

The Vivo Y29t 5G landed in Malaysia this week, packing a surprisingly large 6000mAh battery, MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 chipset, and an IP64 rating - all at an entry price starting from RM899 (roughly ₹15,900 / $190).

Covering tech launches for nearly a decade, I’ve noticed a clear trend: manufacturers often test waters in select Asian markets before a wider rollout. 

Malaysia’s release of the Y29t 5G feels like one of those moves, especially with India’s massive Android user base and the growing appetite for affordable 5G handsets.

A local Vivo rep I chatted with at a past event hinted that models like this - big battery, solid chipset, decent cameras - are “tailored to what young users on social media and gamers want.” That resonates here.

Let’s break it down:

Vivo Y29t 5G: Why It’s Interesting


If you look at the spec-to-price ratio, this phone is trying to punch above its weight. Here's what stands out:

6.74-inch LCD panel (90Hz refresh, 570 nits) - solid for casual gaming & video watching.


MediaTek Dimensity 6300 - a 6nm chipset with 2x Cortex-A76 cores, enough for budget gaming and apps.


6000mAh battery - this is huge in the mid-range. Should give up to two days of typical use.


IP64 rating - rare in this price segment; decent protection against dust & water spray.


Dual SIM + microSD, Android 15 (Funtouch OS 15), NFC & Bluetooth 5.4.

The camera system is basic:

Rear: 50MP main + 0.08MP secondary sensor.


Front: 5MP selfie.

Price & Availability


Malaysia launch pricing:

RM899 (~₹15,900 / $190) for 6GB RAM + 128GB storage.


RM1099 (~₹19,500 / $230) for 8GB RAM + 256GB storage.

The phone is available now via Malaysian telco postpaid plans.

US vs India Nuance

India:

This type of launch feels almost designed for India’s booming mid-range segment. 

Realme Narzo 70x 5G and Redmi 13 5G are the obvious rivals here - both offering 5G, large batteries, and mid-tier gaming chops.

Anecdotally, many Indian Android fans I’ve spoken with in recent months tell me they prioritize battery life first, followed by camera, display smoothness (90Hz+), and chipset power - in that order. The Y29t 5G checks these boxes.

If Vivo brings this at under ₹16K, it could eat into Redmi’s market, especially in Tier 2-3 cities where buyers still value IP ratings and large batteries for day-long reliability.

US:

In the US, budget phones from Samsung A15 5G and Moto G Power 5G dominate the carrier market. 

The Y29t 5G - if released unlocked or via T-Mobile/Metro - would appeal to prepaid buyers looking for big battery + 5G. 

However, competition is tougher here with Moto’s 5000mAh+ devices already entrenched.

Market Context: Why This Launch Matters


With mid-range smartphones now battling feature-for-feature, these kinds of devices reveal what matters most to users:

All-day battery for social media & gaming


Good-enough cameras for reels & stories


Reasonable gaming performance without heating up


IP protection in humid climates (huge for India)

The Y29t 5G clearly targets this demand.

Mini Anecdote: Launch Trends


In my experience covering brands like Vivo, Realme, and Redmi, these “soft launches” in Malaysia are often trial balloons. 

If response is strong, you typically see an India release 6-8 weeks later - sometimes with tweaks (faster charging, India-first colour variants).

If that holds true, this device might land in India just in time for August-September sales season. That would make sense given the Redmi 13 5G’s success right now.

Key Takeaways (Simple


Vivo Y29t 5G launched in Malaysia quietly - strong battery and 5G.


Price starts ~₹15,900 / $190 - very competitive.


Big 6000mAh battery and 90Hz screen ideal for gamers, youth.


India launch possible soon - if priced below ₹16K, could disrupt market.


Competes with Realme Narzo 70x 5G, Redmi 13 5G.

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...
