We compare these two popular phones to help you decide which one fits your needs and budget better.
Note: Highlighted specifications show differences between the two devices.
The Samsung Galaxy M15 5G is a budget smartphone that packs a punch with its impressive features. The device boasts a stunning Super AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate, making it almost flagship-level. The phone's build quality is also noteworthy, despite being made of plastic, which gives it a premium feel. In terms of performance, the Galaxy M15 5G delivers decent results for a budget device. The camera setup is satisfactory, with a wide-angle sensor and macro mode that produces good-quality photos. However, the night photography mode didn't make much of an impact, and video recording tops out at Full HD at 30fps. One of the standout features of this phone is its massive 6000mAh battery, which provides an incredible 12 hours and 42 minutes of battery life according to PCMark benchmarking. The addition of 25W fast charging support is also a welcome feature. Other notable aspects of the Galaxy M15 5G include its dual-SIM capabilities with 5G connectivity, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3 support, and NFC for contactless payments. While not perfect, this phone offers an excellent balance of features at an affordable price point. The display, software, and battery life are particularly notable strengths that set it apart from other budget smartphones.
The Realme X7 Max is an alternative to the popular Realme GT, specifically designed for the Indian market and globally sold as the Realme GT Neo. The phone has a high-end MediaTek chipset, replacing the Snapdragon 888 in the original GT model. Design-wise, the X7 Max has a glossy stripe accent and shiny logo, giving it a rather catchy look. The phone's build is made from plastic, not glass, but still feels premium and on the lighter side. The display is a 6.43-inch AMOLED with a 1080p resolution, fast 120Hz refresh rate, and punch-hole selfie camera. The display itself is really nice, sharp, and contrasty, with vivid colors that can be made accurate with color settings. The phone's audio features a traditional headphone jack and hybrid stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support. In terms of performance, the X7 Max has a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 5G chipset, which provides flagship-grade performance comparable to Snapdragon 860 or 870 chipsets. Battery life is also good, with a 4500mAh battery that supports 50W Super Dart charging. The camera setup is identical to the Realme GT, with a 64MP main cam, 8MP ultra-wide camera, and 2MP macro cam. While not flagship-grade, the cameras are decent for the class, producing good quality photos and videos. Overall, the Realme X7 Max offers a great user experience, similar to the Realme GT, but at a potentially lower price point. If you can find it, it's definitely worth considering as a more affordable alternative to the flagship model.
