The Realme 15 series comprises two smartphones – the Realme 15 and the Realme 15 Pro. These will be joined by the Realme 15T as the third member of the lineup next week, as Realme announced today that it will introduce the Realme 15T in India on September 2 at noon local time.

Additionally, Realme revealed the Realme 15T’s key specs, price segment, color options, and design, which, like it or hate it, looks like a blatant rip-off of the Apple iPhone 16 Pro – the smartphone this Chinese brand compared the Realme 15T’s “impressively slim and lightweight” design with in its press release.
For those wondering, the Realme 15T is 7.79mm thick and weighs 181 g, while the iPhone 16 Pro measures 8.3mm and weighs 199 g. The iPhone 16 Pro Max has the same thickness, but it weighs 28 g more.

That said, it’s not just the design that Realme has copied from Apple for the 15T, but a teaser that the brand’s Indian branch dropped on its official X account also includes the “one more thing” phrase Apple has used during its keynotes over the years.
#LooksGreat from every angle.
The #realme15T doesn’t just turn heads. With stunning colors, Dual 50MP AI Cameras, and a 7000mAh Titan Battery, it feels as good as it looks.

Well, the Realme 15T won’t be the first smartphone from Realme this year with a design that resembles another brand’s product. The recently launched Realme P4 and P4 Pro feature camera islands that resemble the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro’s camera island.
Anyway, circling back to the Realme 15T, Realme announced that the smartphone will come in Silk Blue, Suit Titanium, and Flowing Silver colors. Confirmed specs and features include the Dimensity 6400 SoC, a 7,000 mAh Titan battery with 10W reverse charging support, and a 6.57″ AMOLED display having 10-bit color depth and 4,000 nits of peak brightness.
The Realme 15T will be IP66, IP68, and IP69-rated and feature two 50MP cameras – one each on the front and back. It will come with AI-powered camera features, including AI Edit Genie, AI Snap Mode, and AI Landscape. Additionally, there will be some soft light filters such as Deja Vu, Retro, Misty, Glowy, and Dreamy.
While the Realme 15T’s back looks like an iPhone, the software support it will receive won’t be the same, as it will receive three OS upgrades and four years of security updates. Moreover, the smartphone will boot Android 15 instead of Android 16, which has already been publicly released.
The Realme 15T will be available in India through Realme’s official website, Flipkart, and mainline retail stores. The brand hasn’t revealed the 15T’s sale date yet, but it said the smartphone will be priced under INR20,000 ($225/€195) in India.
