Realme 15 Appears on Google Play Console, Key Specifications Confirmed Ahead of Official Launch
Realme is getting ready to launch its new Realme 15 and Realme 15 Pro smartphones on July 24. In the days leading up to the launch, the company has been sharing many teasers to build excitement. One of the big confirmations from Realme is that this time, there will be no Pro+ model. Instead, the Realme 15 Pro will take the place of the Pro+, while the regular Realme 15 will replace the Realme 14 Pro from the previous series.
Spotted on Google Play Console – Key Details Confirmed
The Realme 15 has now been listed on the Google Play Console, revealing more details about its specifications. According to the listing:
- The phone will have a screen resolution of 1080 x 2392 pixels.
- It will launch running Android 15.
- The device shown comes with 8GB of RAM, but there may be other variants with more or less memory.
Processor Details
The listing also confirms that the Realme 15 will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset. However, Realme is promoting this as the Dimensity 7300+, which is common with brands giving slightly customized names to processors. Usually, these customized versions offer no major performance difference apart from the branding.
Specifications
Realme has already shared several key specifications of the Realme 15 through teasers. These include:
Display
- The phone will feature a display with a 144Hz refresh rate, which will provide smoother scrolling, gaming, and video playback compared to standard displays.
Battery and Charging
- One of the most impressive features of the Realme 15 is its large 7,000mAh battery.
- Despite having such a big battery, the phone supports 80W wired fast charging.
- Even with this large battery, the phone remains slim at just 7.66mm thick, which is quite rare for devices with big batteries.
Durability
- The Realme 15 will also come with IP69 certification, which means it is highly resistant to both dust and water. This is a strong durability feature not often seen in mid-range smartphones.
Design and Color Options
Realme has also revealed the colors the Realme 15 will be available in:
- Silk Pink
- Velvet Green
- Flowing Silver
London-based tech company Nothing, led by co-founder and CEO Carl Pei, is making big plans for India. During his visit to the country, Pei met with Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister of Electronics and Information Technology, to discuss the company’s future.
After the meeting, Pei shared on X (formerly Twitter) that Nothing will invest about $100 million (around Rs 860 crores) in India over the next three years. This investment will also create more than 1,800 new jobs. As part of the plan, Nothing is setting up a joint manufacturing venture with Optiemus, a well-known Indian electronics manufacturer.
What About CMF by Nothing, Nothing’s Sub-Brand?
Nothing also confirmed changes for its budget-friendly sub-brand CMF by Nothing. The company said CMF will now function as an independent subsidiary in India, with its global operations, R&D, and manufacturing shifting to the country.
Carl Pei called CMF a “success in India” and said the brand aims to become the first truly global smartphone brand from India. Optiemus Executive Chairman Ashok Gupta added that this collaboration reflects the strength of the Indian tech ecosystem and supports the ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ vision.
What’s Next for Nothing?
Nothing has been growing rapidly, recently reaching a $1.3 billion valuation. The company also raised $200 million in a Series C funding round. Looking ahead, Nothing is preparing to enter the AI race next year, with plans to launch AI-powered devices designed to change how people use AI on their smartphones.
With this new investment and expansion, India is set to become a major hub for Nothing’s manufacturing, exports, and innovation.
Nothing has released a new software update for the Nothing Phone (3) this September. The update comes with the build number Nothing OS V3.5-250911-2112 and has a size of 280 MB. It brings multiple improvements to the camera, system performance, and overall user experience.
Camera Enhancements
The new update focuses heavily on improving the camera experience. The exposure slider is now smoother and easier to control, while a tint issue that caused unnatural colours has been fixed for more balanced results.
The AI SuperRes Zoom has also been updated, making text appear sharper. Action Mode now produces less noise, and third-party apps benefit from better camera clarity. Videos also look better with improved contrast, reduced haze, and more vibrant colours.
General Improvements and Fixes
Along with the camera, the update brings many system-level enhancements. The Glyph Matrix display for Always-on Glyph Toys now works better in multi-user mode. A bug that showed duplicated contact avatars in Essential Notifications has been fixed, and haptic feedback issues while previewing Generative mode have also been resolved.
For Arabic users, the title alignment in the “About phone” section has been improved. The Bluetooth device recording UI has been redesigned and can be found in Settings > Sound & Vibration.
The update also focuses on better performance—battery consumption has been optimised, heating issues in certain scenarios have been reduced, and Wi-Fi connectivity is now more stable. Overall system stability and speed have also been improved.
With this update, the Nothing Phone (3) promises a smoother performance and an improved camera setup, making it more reliable for daily use and photography. Users are advised to download the update for the best experience.
Nothing has launched its latest true wireless earphones, the Nothing Ear (3). The new earbuds bring a fresh design, better sound, longer battery life, and an all-new Super Mic feature for clearer calls.
Improved Design with Aluminum
For the first time, the Ear (3) uses aluminum parts in its case, giving it a premium look while keeping the brand’s signature transparent design.
Super Mic for Clearer Calls
The highlight of the Ear (3) is the Super Mic system built into the case. It is a dual-mic setup that can reduce up to 95 dB of noise, activated with a new ‘Talk’ button. This feature improves call clarity and can also be used for recording voice notes on both Android and iOS.
Each earbud also has a three-mic system with bone-conduction technology for better voice pickup. The earbuds support adaptive noise cancellation up to 45 dB for an improved listening experience.
Better Sound and Features
The Ear (3) comes with 12mm dynamic drivers, tuned for stronger bass and a wider soundstage. It supports Spatial Audio (static) and audio codecs like AAC, SBC, and LDAC.
Other features include:
- Bluetooth 5.4 with dual-device connection
- In-ear detection
- Low-lag mode
- Hi-Res certification
- IP54 rating for both earbuds and case
Battery Life and Charging
Each earbud has a 55 mAh battery, while the case houses a 500 mAh cell. With ANC on, the Ear (3) lasts up to 5.5 hours, and up to 10 hours without ANC. The charging case provides an extra 38 hours. The case also supports fast charging and wireless charging.
Price and Availability
The Nothing Ear (3) will be available in White and Black colors, priced at $179 / €179. Sales will begin on September 25. Currently, I have no idea when it will be coming to India.
