The Samsung Galaxy F15 packs a hefty battery, a decent chipset, and a vibrant Super AMOLED display. Its design closely mirrors that of the premium Galaxy phones, though the inclusion of a 6000mAh battery makes it noticeably chunky. The 6.5-inch FHD+ display offers a 90Hz refresh rate, staying bright even under sunlight. As for the cameras, it has a 50MP main shooter, a 5MP ultra-wide angle camera, and a 2MP macro shooter at the rear. It has a 13MP camera at the front for selfies. For its price, the phone captures adequately satisfying pictures. Powering the Galaxy F15 5G is the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ chipset, which suits everyday users well. It handles tasks such as texting, social media browsing, and light gaming with 5G connectivity capably. Samsung pledges four years of Android updates and five years of security patches for the Galaxy F15. It runs on OneUI 6 based on Android 14, but misses out on a bunch of features such as Always On Display and screen recording. While the overall user experience is fine, watch out for a bunch of pre-installed apps.

The Redmi 12 is that affordable 5G kid on the block, offering decent bang for your buck. It packs in 5G compatibility, solid battery life, and a respectable display for its price tag. With a spacious 6.79-inch FHD+ LCD display rocking a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, your visuals are crisp and fluid indoors, though it might struggle a bit under bright sunlight. In the camera department, you're looking at a 50MP main shooter and a 2MP depth camera—no ultra-wide camera here, unfortunately. Selfie-wise, there's an 8MP front-facing camera. While it holds its own in well-lit conditions, low-light shots leave something to be desired. It's powered by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC, chugging along smoothly for your everyday tasks but stumbling a bit when it comes to gaming. With a hearty 5000mAh battery, it's got the juice to keep you going through the day. It runs on MIUI 14, based on Android 13, but be prepared for a bit of bloatware out of the box. At Rs. 11,999, this 5G smartphone checks off most of the boxes, making it a worthy contender for budget-conscious buyers.
