Realme 15 Pro Game of Thrones Edition Lands in India
Built less for performance and more for fandom, this edition turns a phone into a collectible relic.
Phone launches have started to feel predictable. Specs go up a little, prices creep higher, and the excitement fades faster each year. Maybe that’s why brands are shifting from plain performance to something more emotional, like fandoms.
A clear example of this is the Realme 15 Pro Game of Thrones Limited Edition. Instead of another incremental refresh, Realme has turned its mid-range phone, the Realme 15 Pro, which already made waves earlier this year, into a fantasy collectible inspired by HBO’s hit series. Priced at ₹44,999 (~$507), it ships in a single 12 GB RAM / 512 GB storage configuration.
Packaging is also part of the experience as the Realme 15 Pro arrives in a box that closely resembles Daenerys Targaryen’s dragon-egg chest. Open it, and you're greeted with complete Westerosi keepsakes, like an Iron Throne phone stand, a King’s Hand SIM-ejector pin, a hidden letter that reveals text under light, and postcards and stickers of the Great Houses, Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, and more.
The phone itself commits fully to the theme. It carries a 3D Targaryen sigil and dragon-claw camera housing, with house mottos etched around the lens rings. The back even changes color from black to red when heated above 44°C, powered by Realme’s Dragonfire Color-Changing Technology. It’s not exactly practical, but it’s undeniably striking.
Inside, the fantasy continues. There are “Ice” and “Fire” UI themes, medieval-style animations, and Game of Thrones camera filters. Beneath the theatrics, though, it’s still the standard 15 Pro: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, 7000 mAh battery with 80 W fast-charging, dual SIM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a capable camera system featuring three 50 MP sensors and a 50 MP front shooter.
Now, if we’re being honest, this edition isn't for everyone. It’s for collectors and die-hard fans who want their phone to double as a piece of pop culture. It may not be the most practical buy, but I believe it’s easily one of the most entertaining and a reminder that tech can still have a little fun. Will we be seeing an Oppenheimer-themed phone next? Samsung, your move.
