The Samsung Galaxy F15 5G is an entry-level 5G phone in Samsung’s Galaxy F series, released on 4 March 2024. The body measures 76.8 x 160.1 x 9.3 mm and weighs 217 g, and it is sold in Groovy Violet, Ash Black and Jazzy Green.
Its 6.45-inch Super AMOLED screen runs at 1080 x 2340 pixels (Full HD+) with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, around 399 PPI and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The front camera is housed in a water-drop notch. Smartprix does not list a brightness figure for this panel.
A MediaTek Dimensity 6100 Plus drives the phone, using two Cortex-A76 cores at 2.2 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0 GHz together with a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. RAM options are 4 GB, 6 GB and 8 GB, all paired with 128 GB of storage, and the hybrid slot can take a microSD card of up to 1 TB.
Three cameras sit on the back: a 50 MP f/1.8 main camera with autofocus, a 5 MP f/2.2 second camera and a 2 MP f/2.4 macro, backed by an LED flash. A 13 MP front camera handles selfies. Video recording on both sides is capped at 1080p 30 fps, and the camera app includes AR Zone, Hyperlapse, Night, Pro, Food and Slow Motion modes.
Battery capacity is 6000 mAh with 25W fast charging, and Smartprix lists up to 25 hours of video playback and 128 hours of music playback. Software is Android 14 with One UI 6, backed by four generations of OS upgrades and five years of security updates, plus Samsung Knox Vault.
For connectivity, the F15 supports dual nano SIMs with 5G and VoLTE, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.3, USB Type-C 2.0 and GPS. A side-mounted fingerprint sensor provides biometric security, and there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Smartprix lists the handset, a Type-C to C data cable, an ejection pin and a quick start guide in the box. FM radio is not available.
The Galaxy F15 5G targets buyers who want long battery life and dependable software support from a budget 5G phone. Its 6000 mAh battery, rated large by Smartprix, is listed for up to 25 hours of video playback, and Samsung promises four OS upgrades and five years of security patches.
The 6.45-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED panel is sharp at about 399 PPI and runs at 90 Hz. A headphone jack, microSD support up to 1 TB and Knox Vault security are useful additions.
The limitations are real. The Dimensity 6100 Plus and 4 GB base RAM are rated only average, so heavy games and multitasking are not its strength. Smartprix rates the 9.3 mm, 217 g body as thick and heavy. Charging is 25W, which is slow for a 6000 mAh cell, and no charger appears in the box list. The cameras have no OIS listed and record only 1080p 30 fps, the second rear camera is 5 MP, the notch is a water drop, the card slot is hybrid, no IP rating or NFC is listed, and the summary says it is not water proof.
It suits Indian buyers who want a Samsung 5G phone mainly for calls, messaging, social media and video, value multi-day battery life and long updates, and are not concerned about gaming or camera quality.
Verdict: The Galaxy F15 5G delivers a 6000 mAh battery, an FHD+ Super AMOLED screen and four years of OS upgrades, but its entry-level chip, slow 25W charging with no charger in the box, heavy build and basic cameras keep it a basic everyday phone.
