realme X7 Max

Strengths

The Realme X7 Max has a nice looking design with a glossy stripe accent and shiny logo.
It features a great AMOLED screen with a fast 120Hz refresh rate, making swiping and scrolling extra smooth.
The phone has good battery life, scoring a good endurance rating of 110 hours in our proprietary tests.
It supports 50W Super Dart charging, which is still quite solid, although slower than the Realme GT's 65W charging.
The camera performance is decent, with solid 16MP photos from the main cam and nice detail and colors.
The phone has a traditional headphone jack and hybrid stereo speakers that earned a rating of 'very good' on our loudness charts.
It features an under-display fingerprint reader that's fast and responsive.

Weaknesses

The design is not flashy, but rather catchy, which might be a subjective preference.
The phone has a mediatek Dimensity 1200 5G chipset, which doesn't quite reach the high benchmark scores of the GT, although performance is still flagship-grade.
Games run great, but lack of high FPS support and thermal issues might be a concern for heavy gamers.
The ultra-wide camera takes average-quality photos with different color rendition from the main cam.
Macro shots are decent but require manual focusing due to lack of autofocus.

Samsung Galaxy M15 5G

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.

realme X7 Max

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.
