Key Features

Display: The phone boasts a large 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display. This translates to vibrant colors, deep blacks, and excellent viewing angles – perfect for watching videos or browsing the web. It even features a smooth 90Hz refresh rate for a more fluid user experience.

Performance: The M15 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ processor. This chipset is capable of handling everyday tasks like social media, web browsing, and light gaming with ease. It comes with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. While 4GB is sufficient for basic usage, 6GB will offer smoother multitasking for those who juggle multiple apps.

Cameras: The M15 5G features a triple-camera system on the back. The main sensor is a high-resolution 50MP, which captures good quality photos in well-lit conditions. However, low-light performance suffers due to the lack of high-end image processing. The accompanying 5MP ultra-wide sensor is useful for capturing expansive landscapes or group shots. The 2MP macro sensor is good for occasional close-up shots, but detail might be lacking. The 13MP front-facing camera is decent for video calls and selfies under good lighting. However, don't expect flagship-level selfie quality.

Battery: One of the M15 5G's biggest strengths is its massive 6000mAh battery. This can easily last a full day on a single charge, even with moderate usage. Heavy users might need to top up in the late evening, but overall, battery life is a major selling point. The phone supports 25W fast charging, which isn't the fastest compared to some competitors. An even bigger drawback is the lack of a charger in the box. Factor in the additional cost of purchasing a compatible charger if you don't already have one.

Connectivity and Other Features: The M15 5G runs on Android 12, offering a clean and user-friendly interface with familiar features. Samsung promises 4 generations of Android OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates. This ensures your phone stays protected with the latest security patches and access to new features for years to come. Some bloatware apps might be pre-installed, taking up storage space and potentially cluttering the app drawer. Thankfully, these apps can be uninstalled for a cleaner experience.

Design and Build:The back is crafted from plastic, which keeps the weight down but might feel less premium compared to glass-backed phones. It comes in a stylish Stone Grey color with a subtle reflective pattern. The bezels around the display are slightly thicker than some higher-end phones, but this is expected in this price range.

Pros

Large and vibrant Super AMOLED display, Excellent for watching videos and browsing the web with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate.
Future-proofs the phone for faster data speeds as 5G networks become more widespread.
The 6000mAh battery ensures you can get through a full day on a single charge (with moderate usage).
The 50MP main sensor captures good quality photos in well-lit conditions, while the 5MP ultra-wide sensor expands shot options.
Especially attractive if you find a deal without the charger.

Cons

Feels less premium compared to glass-backed phones
The MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ processor handles everyday tasks well, but don't expect it to excel at heavy gaming.
Struggles in low-light conditions due to the lack of high-end image processing.
Adds an unexpected cost to the overall purchase.
Some pre-installed apps can bloat the software and take up storage space.
