Xiaomi is set to launch the Redmi Note 15 5G in India on January 6, 2026. This new mid-range smartphone promises a blend of powerful performance and a super bright display at a competitive price point.
The Redmi Note 15 5G features a 6.7 to 6.8-inch curved AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate and can reach a peak brightness of up to 3200 nits. This ensures excellent visibility even under direct sunlight, making it ideal for outdoor use. The display also includes Wet Touch 2.0 for improved responsiveness when the screen is wet and is protected by Xiaomi’s Dragon Crystal Glass for durability.
Powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset built on a 4nm process, the device delivers efficient yet strong performance. It scored over 600,000 on the AnTuTu benchmark, illustrating its capability to handle gaming and multitasking smoothly. The phone comes with three memory options: 6GB RAM with 128GB storage, 8GB RAM with 256GB storage, and a top variant with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, all using LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage technology.
Battery life is a strong suit with a large capacity cell. The Chinese variant packs a 5800 mAh battery, while the European version has a slightly smaller 5520 mAh battery. Both support 45W fast charging and 22.5W reverse charging, which allows users to charge other devices. This setup ensures full-day usage without frequent recharging.
On the camera front, the Redmi Note 15 5G is equipped with a 50MP main sensor featuring Artificial Intelligence Stabilization (AIS) and 2MP depth sensor. The front camera offers an 8MP sensor. Video recording supports 4K at 30 frames per second with AIS stabilization, providing decent quality for everyday video content.
Additional features include an IR blaster, dual stereo speakers, NFC, in-display fingerprint scanner, and IP68 certification for dust and water resistance on the Chinese model (IP64 for others). The phone runs on HyperOS 2, based on Android 15, offering three major OS upgrades and four years of security patches. This ensures a safe and up-to-date software experience over time.
The design is sleek and lightweight, measuring 7.4mm thick and weighing 178 grams. It adopts a slim look similar to the Pro Plus series, with symmetrical bezels and a plastic body that feels stylish yet durable.
