Samsung Galaxy F15 5G VS Lava Storm 5G
Samsung has dropped an entry-level smartphone in the Indian market, the Galaxy F15 5G. It is a sub-15K smartphone that follows the same next-gen Samsung design, just like any other Samsung smartphone. It is packed with a massive battery, a 50-megapixel triple camera setup, and more. If you are planning to buy a budget smartphone, firstly check out this comparison of the Samsung Galaxy F15 5G and Lava Storm 5G. Both smartphones fall under the same price segment. Let’s go!
Let’s talk about the display of both of these devices first. The Samsung Galaxy F15 5G has a 6.5-inch full HD+ AMOLED display that offers up to 90Hz refresh rate. The Lava Storm 5G, on the other hand, packs a 6.78-inch FHD+ IPS LCD with 120Hz refresh rate support.
If I have to choose one among these two, I’d go for the Lava Storm 5G. Why? Because I want my phone’s display to be smoother rather than having rich colours.
