Is it any good?
The 15T 5G is a slim, sensible mid-ranger: ₹27,999 for 8GB + 128GB and ₹29,999 for 8GB + 256GB. It is for people who want an AMOLED screen and a big battery in a body that is only 7.79mm thick.
It pairs the Dimensity 6400 Max with a 6.57-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel rated at 4,000 nits peak, a 7,000 mAh battery with 60W charging, 50MP cameras front and back, and IP66, IP68 and IP69 ratings. realme promises 3 Android OS updates, and at 181g it is the lightest 7,000 mAh phone in realme's range.
The catch is the camera system: the second rear camera is a 2MP monochrome sensor, and video tops out at 1080p. The realme 16 5G adds a rear selfie mirror and 4,200 nits for ₹14,000 more, which shows how much of a bargain this one is by comparison.
