Realme 15 Pro has officially entered India, which has entered the crowded mid-range smartphone space, which includes the recently launched OnePlus Nord 5. Both smartphones come from Rs 40,000 to Rs 40,000 segment for Rs 30,000, and at first glance, they offer similar features-big AMOLED displays, 5G processors, high-resolution cameras, and strong battery life. But the details make all the differences. While Nord is available from early July 5, Realme 15 Pro is the newest entry. If you are wondering which is a better pick, then everything here has a complete comparison that separates them.

Design and construction

Realme has clearly focused on design this time. The 15 pro is a sleery, lighter, and a curved display that gives it a more premium look. It comes in a flowing silver, velvet green and silk purple color and weighs only 187 grams. The curved screen and slimmer 7.7 mm profiles help it feel more comfortable in hand. In contrast, OnePlus Nord is heavy at 5 211 grams and thick at 8.1 mm. However, it still looks stylish, especially in the finish of marble sand, which gives it a unique character. It is also available in dry ice and phantom gray finish.

While Realme bends towards elegance, OnePlus has a boulder look. Realme 15 Pro also has an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance, which is better than the IP65 rating of Nord 5.

Display

Both phones have large AMOLED displays. OnePlus Nord 5 has a 6.83-inch flat display, while Realum 15 Pro has a 6.8-inch curved screen. The major differences lie in fresh rates and brightness. Realme proceeds with a 144hz refresh rate and a summit of 6,500 notes, although the figure is recorded in specific circumstances. Nord 5 provides a 120Hz refresh rate and 1,800 NIT peak shine. While Realme 15 Pro may feel more immersive, the flat screen on Nord 5 is more practical for daily use and helps to avoid accidental touch.

Performance and software

This is where OnePlus Nord 5 clearly pulls forward. It runs on Snapdragon 8S General 3 chipset, which is more powerful than Snapdragon 7 General 4 found in Realme 15 Pro. The Nord 5 also uses LPDDR5X RAM rapidly, while Realme has LPDDR4X. On the Antutu benchmark, the Nord 5 score is about 1.5 million, while Realme scores about 1 million. Based on this, Nord 5 should give smooth performance.

Both phones come out of Android 15 box. OnePlus Nord 5 runs on Oxygenos 15, while Realme 15 Pro Realme Ui Ui 6.0. OnePlus promises four -year -old Android update compared to two years out of realme. In terms of features, Realme AI Edit provides an increase in AI tools such as genie and magicglo 2.0 for camera and user experience. OnePlus includes devices such as Mind Space, AI Photo Editor and Call Translations with their own AI suites.

Battery

Both phones come with large batteries. The Nord 5 is powered by a 6,800mAh battery, while the 7,000mAh battery in Realme 15 Pro is slightly larger. Both support 80W wired charging, so you get the same charging speed. On paper, Realme may look better with its big battery, but real battery life is likely to be quite similar in daily use.

Quarrel

When it comes to cameras, both phones have a 50-megapixel primary sensor and 50-megapixel front-facing camera on the back. However, Realme 15 Pro includes a high-resolution 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, while Nord 5 has an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera. We have already tested Nord 5 and found its cameras decent for the price. He said, there is a good track record of Realme’s number series when it comes to camera performance, especially in terms of color and expansion. With AI reforms added to 15 Pro, it can potentially provide better camera results – although the complete test will reveal more.

Price in india

OnePlus Nord 5 8GB RAM + 256GB starts at Rs 31,999 for variants. The price of 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB models is Rs 34,999 and Rs 37,999 respectively.

In comparison, the Realme 15 Pro also starts at Rs 31,999, but it is for 8GB + 128GB variants. 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB options are priced at Rs 33,999, Rs 35,999 and Rs 38,999 respectively.

Penetration

If performance, long -term software support, and value for money is most important for you, OnePlus Nord 5 stands with its sharp processor, better RAM, long -term software support and more storage at the same starting price.

However, if you prefer a phone that is light, there is a curved and bright performance, and the camera is a hardware, Realme 15 Pro is a strong contender. Both phones provide concrete features for the price – the right choice comes down what matters the most to you.
