The Samsung Galaxy 'F' series is known for delivering feature-rich smartphones at competitive prices, targeting budget-conscious consumers without compromising on quality. The Samsung Galaxy F15 5G, released on March 11, 2024, continues this tradition by offering a blend of performance and affordability. Let's dive into the key specs, pros, cons, and pricing of the Galaxy F15 in Bangladesh. Key Features of Samsung Galaxy F15 5G . Design and Build Quality The Samsung Galaxy F15 5G features a glass front, plastic back, and plastic frame, similar to its predecessor, the Galaxy F14. While it feels solid in hand, its 217g weight makes it heavier than the Oppo K12x (186g) and Poco M7 Pro 5G (190g). Unlike the Poco M7 Pro 5G, which has an IP64 rating, the Galaxy F15 5G lacks any official dust or water resistance.  The side-mounted fingerprint scanner is a convenient addition, though it is less advanced than the under-display fingerprint sensor on the Poco M7 Pro 5G. Overall, the design is functional, but the lack of premium materials and water resistance puts it slightly behind some competitors.

Compared to the PLS LCD on the Galaxy F14, the F15 brings a significant improvement, providing better contrast, deeper blacks, and improved energy efficiency.  However, it falls short when compared to the Poco M7 Pro 5G, which features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ support, making it the best display among the competitors. The Oppo K12x, on the other hand, has a 6.67-inch IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate, but its 720p resolution is a major drawback.  In terms of display quality, the Galaxy F15 5G is a solid choice but is outshined by the Poco M7 Pro 5G. Camera Performance The Galaxy F15 5G features a 50 MP (f/1.8) main camera, a 5 MP (f/2.2) ultrawide sensor, and a 2 MP (f/2.4) macro lens. Compared to the Galaxy F14, which lacks an ultrawide lens, this is an upgrade. In daylight conditions, the 50 MP sensor produces sharp and detailed images, but low-light photography struggles with noise and limited dynamic range.  Read more: Honor X9c Review: What’s special about this midrange smartphone Against competitors, the Poco M7 Pro 5G has a similar 50 MP camera but with a larger f/1.5 aperture and OIS, making it superior for night photography. The Oppo K12x, with its 32 MP main sensor, falls behind in overall image quality.  The 13 MP (f/2.0) front camera on the Galaxy F15 5G is decent for selfies, though the Poco M7 Pro 5G’s 20 MP front camera captures more details. Overall, while the Galaxy F15 5G delivers solid camera performance, it struggles in low-light scenarios compared to the Poco M7 Pro 5G. The Samsung Galaxy F15 5G can capture a maximum of 1080p footage at 30fps by the rear and front shooters. Processor Performance The Galaxy F15 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ 6nm chipset, which has an octa-core CPU (2x Cortex-A76 at 2.2GHz & 6x Cortex-A55 at 2.0GHz). While efficient for everyday tasks, it lags behind its competitors. The Galaxy F14’s Exynos 1330 (5nm) has higher clock speeds and performs slightly better, while the Poco M7 Pro 5G’s Dimensity 7025 Ultra (6nm) offers the best processing power in this segment.  Read more: OnePlus 13 5G Review: Flagship Killer with high-end features The Oppo K12x’s Dimensity 6300 (6nm) is marginally better than the Galaxy F15 5G’s chipset, particularly in multi-core performance. Although the Galaxy F15 5G handles daily usage smoothly, it falls behind its rivals in terms of raw processing power. Gaming Performance When it comes to gaming, the Mali-G57 MC2 GPU on the Galaxy F15 5G can handle casual gaming well, but it struggles with high-graphics games. Titles like PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile run at medium settings, but frame drops occur at high settings.  In comparison, the Poco M7 Pro 5G’s IMG BXM-8-256 GPU offers a better gaming experience, with smoother frame rates and fewer stutters. The Oppo K12x’s Mali-G57 MC2 performs similarly to the Galaxy F15 5G but benefits from its slightly better CPU. If gaming is a priority, the Poco M7 Pro 5G is the best choice in this category. Battery Life One of the strongest features of the Galaxy F15 5G is its massive 6000 mAh battery, which offers 1.5 to 2 days of usage with moderate use. This feature is the same as the Galaxy F14, but it surpasses the Poco M7 Pro 5G (5110 mAh) and Oppo K12x (5100 mAh) in terms of longevity.  Read more: OPPO A5 Pro 4G Review: Can it fulfil the expectations? However, the F15’s 25W charging speed is slower than the 45W charging on the Poco M7 Pro 5G and Oppo K12x, meaning it takes longer to recharge. If battery life is your main concern, the Galaxy F15 5G is an excellent choice, butfaster charging options exist in competing devices. Galaxy F15 lacks reverse wired and wireless charging option. Software and User Interface Running on Android 14 with One UI 6, the Galaxy F15 5G provides a clean and feature-rich user experience. Samsung’s software is well-optimized, ensuring smooth navigation and long-term software support. Compared to HyperOS on the Poco M7 Pro 5G, which has heavy customization and bloatware, One UI 6 feels more polished and user-friendly. T The Oppo K12x’s ColorOS 14 is also feature-packed but can feel cluttered for some users. Samsung’s track record for software updates is a key advantage, making the Galaxy F15 5G a strong option for those who prioritise long-term software support.

Compared to the Galaxy F14, which provides a dedicated microSD slot, this is a slight drawback.  The Poco M7 Pro 5G offers both 128GB and 256GB options with UFS 2.2 storage, which results in faster app loading times and better overall performance. The Oppo K12x also has 128GB/256GB options with expandable storage, making it more versatile than the Galaxy F15 5G’s hybrid SIM setup. While expandable storage is a plus, the lack of a dedicated microSD slot is a minor limitation. Pros and Cons of Samsung Galaxy F15 5G .
