The Samsung Galaxy M15 5G measures 160.1 × 76.8 × 9.3 mm and tips the scales at 217 g, giving it a relatively solid, full-sized feel in the hand. Its total volume comes to approximately 114.35 cm³. The phone follows a standard flat-slab form factor — it is neither foldable nor built to any rugged specification — and it carries no water-resistance rating, so exposure to moisture is not covered.

The Samsung Galaxy M15 5G carries a triple-lens rear camera system with sensors at 50 MP, 5 MP, and 2 MP, paired with apertures of f/1.8, f/2.2, and f/2.4 respectively, all using CMOS technology without a back-illuminated sensor. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30 fps, with slow-motion recording supported, though HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available. Autofocus options include phase-detection autofocus for stills and continuous autofocus during video, as well as touch autofocus, while laser autofocus is absent; there is no optical zoom and no optical image stabilization. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, though manual shutter speed is not available, and the camera also supports burst mode, HDR, panoramas, and timelapse. A single LED flash is present on the rear — not dual-tone or RGB — while the front has no flash of its own. The 13 MP front camera sits behind an f/2.0 aperture in a standard (non-under-display) position and uses a single lens; RAW capture and 3D photo or video recording are not supported on either camera.
