Realme’s newly launched Realme 15 series—with the Realme 15 5G and Realme 15 Pro 5G models—promise to shake up the mid-range smartphone market in Bangladesh and South Asia. Bringing in powerful hardware, AI-centric photography tools, and large batteries, the phones aim to meet the demands of younger users who want performance without the flagship price tag.
Context and Background
Realme has steadily built its “15” line as the successor to its Realme 14 series. After teasers and leaks over recent months, the company officially introduced the Realme 15 5G and Realme 15 Pro 5G on July 24, 2025 in India. Smartprix+4Gadgets 360+4The Economic Times+4

Direct Quotations
Speaking at the launch, Realme described the Pro variant as “the most advanced ‘AI party phone’ yet, blending cutting-edge camera intelligence, party-optimised features, and immersive performance for the ultimate social experience.” Realme+2Smartprix+2
A Realme spokesperson also said, “We are raising the bar for mid-premium smartphones by bringing flagship-level displays, battery power, and durability to the 15 Pro.” Smartprix+1
What Is Alleged vs. What’s Confirmed
Confirmed: Battery capacity, SoCs (for standard and Pro), display refresh and peak brightness, camera resolutions, IP69 rating concern, software version.
Alleged or Rumoured: Some of design details (e.g. exact materials for curves), actual performance in real-world usage (battery endurance, heat), final pricing and availability in Bangladesh or Sylhet / Habiganj region, accessories bundles.
Local Implications & Availability
For local consumers in Bangladesh, especially in Sylhet Division, these phones could bring strong competition in the mid-range market. If prices follow similar trends to India (after import duties, taxes, currency conversion), Realme 15 and 15 Pro could offer very good value.
Retailers and authorised distributors usually take a few weeks to roll out launches here after India. Grey-market imports might appear earlier but without warranty.
Conclusion & Next Steps
The Realme 15 series marks a significant upgrade in Realme’s offerings—leaving behind the Pro+ model this round, Realme is instead boosting the Pro model to near-flagship status. Buyers should watch for:
Official Bangladesh release date and full pricing.
Hands-on reviews for battery endurance, camera performance especially in low light, display usage outdoors.
Comparison against competitors in the same price segment (Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, etc).
What to Expect
Realme may offer local launch offers (preorders, discounts).
Software support details will matter: how many Android upgrades, how fast security patches.
Accessories (chargers, cables, cases) bundled or sold separately will affect total cost.
