Why It’s a Good Budget Buy in Kenya
If you’re shopping with a budget around KSh 17,000-22,000, the Galaxy M15 offers a lot of value: long battery, good display, and with the 5G variant you get modern connectivity. It fits well for users who mostly use phones for social media, video streaming, chats, and light gaming. If you don’t need top-end performance, this phone’s trade-offs (charging speed, build materials) are acceptable for its price.
