The Itel S24 is the most affordable option, with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Plus, Samsung doesn’t bundle a charging adapter in the retail package so that it will be an additional cost for Galaxy M15 5G buyers. The Samsung 25W fast charging adapter costs Rs 1,299.

The Itel S24 has a circular camera module and a colour-changing back panel. The Realme NARZO 70x 5G offers a Horizontal design with a polished sunburst texture. It also has a circular camera module and flat edges.

On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy M15 has a signature Galaxy design with cameras arranged vertically.

• The Itel S24 comes in two variants – Starry Black and Dawn White.
• The NARZO 70x retails in Ice Blue and Forest Green colour options.
• The Galaxy M15 5G is available in three colour options – Blue Topaz, Stone Gray, and Celestine Blue.

Given its colour-changing back panel, the Itel S24 can be more attractive. Those wanting a more minimal option can choose the Galaxy M15.

• The Itel S24 has a 6.6-inch LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, HD+ resolution, 480nits brightness, and a centered punch-hole notch.
• The NARZO 70x features a 6.72-inch LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, Full HD+ resolution, 800nits brightness, 950nits HBM brightness, and a centred punch hole notch.

The Samsung Galaxy M15 5G has an advantage as it features an AMOLED display panel. AMOLED panels offer better colour production and are more power-efficient than LCD panels. However, the phone has a 90Hz refresh rate and rather obsolete waterdrop notch.
