Realme has officially launched the Realme 15x in India, expanding its number series lineup. Positioned as a budget 5G smartphone, it promises a mix of power, design, and endurance — all under Rs 20,000. The new device follows the Realme 15T, Realme 15, and Realme 15 Pro, reinforcing Realme’s focus on affordable, performance-driven smartphones.
Battery
One of the biggest highlights of the Realme 15x is its massive 7000mAh battery, one of the largest in its price range. It supports 60W SUPERVOOC fast charging, though Realme includes an 80W charger in the box — likely due to the unavailability of a 60W unit.
According to Realme, the battery easily delivers two full days of usage, making it ideal for heavy users, gamers, and travelers.
Additionally, the phone supports 6.5W reverse charging, letting users power smaller gadgets like earbuds or smartwatches directly from the phone. This enormous battery capacity places the Realme 15x in the same league as the Realme P4 and OPPO K13, both known for endurance-driven designs.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Battery | 7000mAh |
| Charging | 60W SUPERVOOC (80W charger in box) |
| Reverse Charging | 6.5W |
| Battery Life | Up to 2 days |
| Weight | 212g |
| Thickness | 8.28mm |
Performance
Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset powers the Realme 15x. While it’s a capable processor, its inclusion in this price bracket is surprising since it’s also found in phones under Rs 10,000. Competing devices like the Infinix Note 50s 5G+ with the Dimensity 7300 Ultimate and OPPO K13 with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 are clearly more powerful.
Still, with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage, the Realme 15x should perform well for day-to-day tasks and moderate gaming. It also offers 10GB of Dynamic RAM expansion, ensuring smoother multitasking. The phone runs realme UI 6.0 based on Android 15, though the company hasn’t confirmed the number of updates it will receive.
Display
The Realme 15x features a 6.8-inch HD+ ‘Sunlight Display’ with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1,200 nits peak brightness. The higher refresh rate ensures smooth scrolling and gameplay, while the bright panel guarantees visibility even under direct sunlight. For budget users, this combination of refresh rate and brightness makes the Realme 15x a standout choice in its segment.
| Display Specs | Details |
|---|---|
| Size | 6.8 inches |
| Resolution | HD+ |
| Refresh Rate | 144Hz |
| Peak Brightness | 1,200 nits |

Camera
On the photography front, the Realme 15x houses a 50MP Sony IMX852 primary sensor at the back and a 50MP AI front camera. The camera setup supports cinematic video, slow motion, time-lapse, dual-view recording, and even underwater photography.
AI-powered features such as AI Edit Genie, AI Landscape, and AI Eraser enhance editing capabilities for social media users. However, the absence of an ultra-wide or secondary lens may disappoint some, as most competitors now offer dual or triple rear setups.
Design
Despite the large battery, Realme keeps the device slim at 8.28mm and light at 212 grams. It also features IP69 protection, making it resistant to water and dust.
The new ‘Crystal Wave’ design gives it a premium aesthetic, and the Pulse Light feature on the back adds flair. Pulse Light offers nine color options and five glowing modes for notifications, calls, or charging — a fun and futuristic addition.
The Realme 15x comes in Aqua Blue, Marine Blue, and Maroon Red, offering vibrant choices for users. It also features 400% Ultra Volume Mode for loud audio output and an innovative speaker cleaning feature that vibrates the speaker to expel trapped water — something rarely seen in this segment.
Connectivity
The Realme 15x supports 5G + 5G dual-mode, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.3, offering solid connectivity options. It includes all essential sensors and retains a 3.5mm headphone jack — something audiophiles will appreciate.
Price
The Realme 15x will be available in India starting October 1, 2025, across Flipkart, realme.com, and offline stores. Pricing starts at Rs 16,999 for the 6GB + 128GB variant, Rs 17,999 for the 8GB + 128GB model, and Rs 19,999 for the 8GB + 256GB version. Launch offers include bank discounts, UPI offers, exchange bonuses, and six months of no-cost EMI.
| Variant | Price |
|---|---|
| 6GB + 128GB | Rs 16,999 |
| 8GB + 128GB | Rs 17,999 |
| 8GB + 256GB | Rs 19,999 |
Verdict
The Realme 15x brings an exciting mix of massive battery, 144Hz display, AI-enhanced cameras, and a stylish design. However, its Dimensity 6300 chipset may feel underpowered compared to rivals.
Still, for users prioritizing battery life, smooth visuals, and design innovation over raw performance, the Realme 15x stands as one of the most well-balanced 5G options under Rs 20,000.
