iPhone 15: The most affordable smartphone with Dynamic Island currently available.
Priced at just over 16 million VND, the iPhone 15 is an optimal choice, boasting a Dynamic Island display, USB-C port, and powerful performance that's not far behind the iPhone 16.
The iPhone 15 marked a turning point for the standard line, being the first to feature a Dynamic Island display and switching to a USB-C connector. In the Vietnamese market at the end of December, this model is recording extremely competitive prices, becoming a top choice for users who want to experience new technology without paying the exorbitant prices of the upcoming iPhone 16 or iPhone 17.
Dynamic Island design and premium display technology.
The biggest highlight of the iPhone 15 is the removal of the traditional notch, replaced by Dynamic Island, creating a more consistent appearance with the Pro models. The device boasts a 6.1-inch OLED screen with Super Retina XDR resolution, delivering sharp image quality, impressive contrast, and a wide P3 color gamut. Although it only has a 60Hz refresh rate, technologies like True Tone and HDR display still ensure a top-tier visual experience.
To protect the device, Apple continues to equip it with Ceramic Shield coating. This is a highly durable tempered glass that minimizes damage and scratches in everyday situations such as impacts or drops.
A16 Bionic performance and multitasking capabilities
Inside the iPhone 15 is the A16 Bionic processor, the same chip that powered the iPhone 14 Pro. Combined with 8GB of RAM, the device handles demanding tasks and multitasking smoothly with minimal lag. According to performance tests, the iPhone 15 achieved approximately 1.47 million Antutu points, a score not significantly lower than the 1.58 million points of the newer iPhone 16.
48MP camera system and new USB-C connector.
Apple has taken a leap forward in photography on its standard line by increasing the main camera resolution to 48MP. This new sensor not only provides more detail in photos but also offers 2x digital optical zoom, equivalent to having a third lens. In addition, the 12MP wide-angle secondary camera and algorithms for improved low-light photography and image stabilization remain key strengths.
Switching to USB-C instead of the traditional Lightning port not only helps synchronize with the modern technology ecosystem but also brings great convenience to users when charging and transferring data.
Battery life and fast charging capabilities
The iPhone 15 is equipped with a 3349 mAh battery, well-optimized to provide up to 20 hours of continuous video playback. The device supports 20W fast charging, allowing it to charge 50% in just 30 minutes. While this charging speed is somewhat modest compared to Android competitors in the same price range, its stability and long-term battery life remain a major plus for loyal Apple users.
In summary, while the iPhone 16 and newer generations are still maintaining high prices, the iPhone 15 emerges as a balanced choice between cost and features, incorporating all of Apple's core technologies.
