realme Philippines is ready to roll out the third entry in its number series, the realme 15T 5G, and it isn’t wasting any time getting the phone into consumers’ hands. The official preorder details have just landed on social media, confirming that this budget titan is headed for the local market exclusively via Shopee, offering its 8GB/256GB and 12GB/512GB configurations.

If you’re ready to jump on the next big-battery smartphone, here is what you need to know immediately: The realme 15T 5G preorder window runs from October 8 to October 18.

The company is sweetening the deal right out of the gate, announcing a bundle of launch perks for early birds. Those who add the sleek device to their cart during this period will get a pair of free realme Buds T200 Lite and a P1,000 early-bird voucher. As realme puts it, the phone is “thin on size, thick on perks.”

realme 15T 5G preorder details announced

The realme 15T 5G officially joins its siblings, the realme 15 5G and realme 15 Pro 5G, which made their local debut just a little over two weeks ago. It offers a slightly different cocktail of power and price that might appeal to those looking for a premium experience without the Pro price tag.

One of the biggest talking points for the realme 15T 5G is undoubtedly the large 7,000mAh battery. While it slightly dials back the charging speed to a respectable 60-watt wired charging (compared to the 80 watts on its higher-end peers), the sheer capacity is still a huge selling point for heavy users.

Under the hood, the brand has gone with a 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 6400 Max 5G processor paired with the Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.

Up front is a 6.57-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Crucially, the panel is rated for a peak brightness of 4,000 nits, allowing you to see the screen clearly even under harsh Philippine sunlight. It also features an under-display optical fingerprint reader for a modern, seamless look.

For shutterbugs, the realme 15T 5G looks to offer a solid camera setup on both sides. You get a dual-camera system on the back featuring a 50-megapixel main camera (f/1.8 aperture) supported by a 2-megapixel monochrome lens. And then there’s a 50-megapixel selfie camera that’s ready to handle all your high-res social media needs.

Rounding out the list of features, the smartphone ships with realme UI 6.0 based on Android 15 and boasts a high IP66/68/69 ingress protection rating, making it highly durable against dust and water exposure. It will be available in Flowing Silver and Suit Titanium.

In India, the realme 15T 5G launched with a starting price of ₹18,999 (P12,431 or $214) for the 8GB/128GB version, and ₹22,999 (P15,051 or $259) for the 8GB/256GB trim. As a reference, the realme 15 Series 5G is priced from P23,999 ($413), so as expected, the upcoming model will cement its place as a formidable option for power users on a budget. Keep an eye out for the official announcement on October 8, the same day preorders open.
