Samsung Galaxy M15 5G

The 6.5-inch AMOLED display and 1080x2340 resolution give you sharper text, better contrast and richer colours than many budget rivals. It is a good fit for video, reading and everyday scrolling.

The 6000 mAh battery is a real strength at this price. It should comfortably last a full day for heavy use and can stretch well into a second day for lighter users.

The MediaTek Dimensity 6100 Plus with 5G support is well suited to calling, messaging, streaming, maps and social apps. It is a practical setup for buyers who want a recent network-ready phone on a budget.

Samsung promises 4 years of Android updates and 5 years of security updates. That is a major long-term advantage for buyers who keep a phone for several years.

128 GB storage gives you enough room for apps, photos and offline media without feeling cramped too quickly. Expandable storage is also useful for people who keep lots of files locally.

This phone is better for everyday use than demanding gaming. Heavier titles will need lower graphics settings, and smoother high-frame-rate play is not its strong point.

The large battery helps endurance, but 25W charging is only average for this range. A full top-up will take longer than on some faster-charging alternatives.

The 50 MP main camera is fine in daylight, but night shots need a steady hand and good lighting. Video is limited to 1080p at 30 fps, which feels basic beside stronger camera-focused options.
