Xiaomi has officially announced the launch of the Redmi 15 5G smartphone in India, set for August 19th. This new device in the Redmi series stands out in the budget segment with its massive 7000mAh battery, making it the first phone in its class to incorporate silicon-carbon battery technology. Xiaomi claims this technology will help the battery retain 80% of its health even after four years of use. The phone offers an impressive 13.5 hours of standby time on just 1% charge when in hibernation mode and supports 18W reverse wired charging, adding to its long-lasting endurance.
Sporting a large 6.9-inch Full HD+ display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, the Redmi 15 5G promises a vibrant and fluid viewing experience. It is powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 SoC, a chipset designed to balance performance and efficiency for everyday tasks and gaming.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the dual rear camera setup featuring a 50MP primary sensor and a secondary camera, alongside an 8MP front camera for selfies and video calls. Additional rumored features include 33W fast charging support and an IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance, underscoring durability in everyday use.
The Redmi 15 5G will be available in three colors: Midnight Black, Frosted White, and Sandy Purple. Pricing details from Malaysia suggest the model with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage will cost around RM 699 (about Rs. 14,305 or USD 165), with expectations of a more affordable 6GB + 128GB variant as well.
For Indian buyers, the smartphone will be sold through Amazon.in, Xiaomi’s official Mi.com store, and offline retail outlets, offering multiple purchase options after launch.
With its standout battery life, large high-refresh display, and capable Snapdragon processor, the Redmi 15 5G is poised to be an attractive choice for budget-conscious consumers seeking a power-efficient and feature-rich 5G smartphone.
