Storytelling through the lens of realme 15 Pro 5G

realme reveals the newest realme 15 series at Shangri-La Hotel, here's what to look forward to

Published Sep 19, 2025 09:24 pm

realme, a brand established in 2018, is recognized for offering mobile phones and wearable devices that combine powerful performance with stylish design. It is also recognized for its unique smartphone designs through innovative collaborations with popular brand franchises such as Naruto, Free Fire, Dragon Ball, Coca-Cola, and designers like Grafflex, José Levy, Matteo Menotto, Heliot Emil, and Naoto Fukasawa.

As realme remains committed to providing quality mobile products at an affordable price, they have recently launched their newest smartphone line — the realme 15 Series 5G. The new lineup was unveiled at EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, hosted by sports analyst and media personality Mikee Reyes. Several members of the media shared their first impressions and experiences after using the phone, while invited influencers Sharlene San Pedro, Doc Z, and Stephen Capuchino gave their take on the new realme 15 Pro 5G.

Cutting Edge Camera

The advancement made on the realme 15 Pro 5G steps up the photography capabilities of its users with the triple 50MP AI cameras that enable high-resolution shots that are bright and clear, powered by a large Sony IMX sensor with excellent light intake. Its Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) ensures photos and videos stay stable, reducing unwanted blurs, and with a rear camera resolution of 50MP, it can record up to 4k resolution videos at 60fps.

Its rear ultra-wide-angle camera, which also comes with a 50MP resolution, allows taking wide point-of-view shots with sharp details. It also supports 4k video resolution, delivering the same quality with the main camera for better continuity and consistency of the shots. This is also the reason behind the enhanced quality of user-generated photos posted on social media. And while it lacks the OIS, it still comes with the Full Frame Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) for stable footage.
Moreover, its front camera with 50MP lets users shoot high-resolution dual-view videos, ideal for vloggers and creators who want a two-camera style in one device. It also makes selfies sharper and ready to share without the need for heavy editing. These camera features not only deliver high-quality images and videos but also empower users to capture moments with depth and emotion, turning simple shots and memories into vivid stories worth sharing.

Reliable and powerful performance A mobile device that performs like a professional camera also needs a high-performing processor for lasting efficiency over extended use. The realme 15 Pro 5G uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, which enables the device to perform beyond its AnTuTu Score of 1,100,000+ and has a 4nm process that enhances power efficiency and overall performance.

More than that, its massive battery capacity of 7000mAh delivers longer usage time while conserving more battery by the end of the day, allowing users to power through work, gaming, streaming, and all-day multitasking with uninterrupted productivity and fewer charging breaks. Its long-lasting battery and seamless performance allow users not just to capture moments but also to stay on top of their daily activities.

Its 80W charging capacity can charge the device up to 50 percent within 25 minutes and can be fully charged in just 61 minutes. The realme 15 Pro 5G also gives users up to 122 hours of standby, 0.82 hours of MLBB gaming, 3.3 hours of YouTube streaming, and 17 hours of Spotify just by charging for five minutes. This fast charging feature means that users can spend less time charging and more time staying productive.

The new realme 15 Pro 5G is a game-changer for users who enjoy capturing real-life moments and telling stories through compelling images. Its advanced camera features take photography to a new level by producing high-quality and vibrant photos, with added AI camera features such as the AI Party Mode, AI Edit Genie, AI Smart Remover 2.0, AI Ultra Clarity 2.0, AI Ultra Clear Nightscape Algorithm, and AI Snap Mode.
Available in Flowing Silver and Velvet Green color options with a storage of 12GB RAM and 256 or 512 GB ROM, the realme 15 Pro 5G starts at P23,999. Visit the nearest realme stores now, or order online on the official realme website.
