In terms of design, both phones feature flat AMOLED displays. The Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G sports a larger 6.83-inch 1.5K resolution screen with a 120Hz refresh rate.
The Redmi Note 15 Pro has a slightly smaller 6.77-inch AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution and the same 120Hz refresh rate. Both screens support 12-bit color output and can reach a peak brightness of up to 3,200 nits for better outdoor visibility.
Touch responsiveness differs between the models. The 5G variant has a high touch sampling rate of 480Hz, double the 240Hz found on the 4G version. Dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos enhance the multimedia experience on both devices.
