Pros of the Realme 15 Lite
Fast Charging Speed: The 80W Ultra Charge is excellent for this segment, quickly topping up the 5,000mAh battery.
High-Quality Display: Features a premium OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and high peak brightness (rumored up to 2,000 nits).
High-Res Main Camera with OIS: The inclusion of a 50MP main sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is a strong feature for clearer photos and stable video.
Good Durability Rating: The rumored IP65 rating offers good protection against dust and water splashes.
Modern Chipset: The expected Dimensity 7300 (or equivalent) is a capable 4nm chip that should offer efficient 5G performance.
Cons of the Realme 15 Lite
Missing Ultrawide Camera: The dual-camera setup (50MP + 2MP) strongly suggests a lack of a useful ultrawide lens, limiting photography versatility.
Hybrid SIM Slot: Some reports indicate a hybrid slot, meaning you have to choose between a second SIM or a microSD card.
Potential Bloatware: Realme UI is sometimes criticized for including a degree of pre-installed apps and advertisements (common in this segment).
Limited Secondary Camera Utility: The inclusion of a 2MP monochrome or depth sensor generally offers little practical use for most users.
