The Redmi Note 15 offers an immersive experience with its 6.77-inch AMOLED display, which supports a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Protected by Xiaomi’s Dragon Crystal Glass, the screen is designed to handle everyday scratches while delivering vibrant colours and sharp details. This makes it suitable for users who stream, game, or multitask extensively.
Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, which ensures efficient performance across apps and games. With multiple RAM and storage variants (up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage), users have the flexibility to choose a model that suits their usage needs, whether for basic daily tasks or more demanding workloads.
Battery life is another strong point, as the 5800mAh battery paired with 45W fast charging ensures longer usage without frequent charging interruptions. The camera setup also impresses, with a 50MP OIS main lens that promises clearer low-light photos and stabilised video recording. Combined with IP66 water and dust resistance, the device strikes a balance between durability and performance in the budget 5G segment.
