Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy M15 technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy M15 suits buyers who prioritize battery capacity and want 5G; the trade-off is 128 GB of storage, less than most phones of its time. This configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB and supports expandable storage. Overall performance is worse than that of most phones launched around the same time.

Its 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display has a 90 Hz refresh rate, lower than that of most phones of its time. Resolution is 1080 × 2340 px, and the display includes Always-On Display. The 6000 mAh battery has more capacity than most, while 25 W charging is typical.

The 50 MP camera is joined by a 5 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP macro camera. Video recording reaches 1080p, and the phone includes Gyro-EIS electronic stabilization. The camera overall is typical for its time. NFC, Bluetooth 5.3, dual SIM and 5G cover the main connections; connectivity overall is also typical. Its 217 g weight and 9.3 mm thickness are both greater than those of most phones launched around the same time. The Samsung Galaxy M15 earns a NeoScore of 5.7. It is a fit for buyers who put battery capacity and 5G ahead of a lighter design or more storage.
