Realme C15

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Realme C15 at Rs 24,999 earns its place through two standout features: a 6000 mAh battery and an ultrawide camera lens. The 6000 mAh cell is the largest in this batch at this price, providing roughly 12 to 14 hours of screen-on time — enough for most users to go two full days between charges. The Snapdragon 460 processor is an older but reliable chip that handles everyday tasks smoothly, and the Adreno 610 GPU manages casual gaming. With 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, the configuration is modest but adequate for moderate users. The quad-camera system includes an 8 MP ultrawide lens — a feature almost entirely absent from phones at this price. The ultrawide lets you capture wider scenes without stepping back, useful for landscape and group photography. The 13 MP main camera with PDAF produces acceptable daylight images. The 420-nit brightness is below average for outdoor use. At 9.8 mm thick, the phone is chunky, but the trade-off is exceptional battery endurance. This phone suits buyers who need maximum battery life and camera versatility at a reasonable cost. The Villaon V50s at Rs 21,399 saves you Rs 3,600 and offers 4 GB of RAM expandable to 8 GB, but the Realme C15's 6000 mAh battery vastly outlasts the Villaon's 4000 mAh cell — the difference could mean an extra full day of use between charges. The C15's ultrawide camera lens is a hardware feature the Villaon's basic 8 MP camera simply cannot replicate. The Snapdragon 460 is a documented, tested processor versus the Villaon's unnamed chip. The Villaon's 64 GB storage matches the Realme, though the C15's thicker body (9.8 mm) makes it less pocketable. For buyers who prioritise battery endurance and camera versatility, the Realme C15 delivers unmatched value; the Villaon satisfies those who want a slimmer, cheaper phone and do not need an ultrawide lens.
