Xiaomi recently debuted its Redmi Note 15 series in China, making waves with a trio of devices. After much anticipation, the top-tier Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus has finally made its way to the global market. It brings some impressive hardware upgrades that make it feel like a serious contender for anyone looking to get more for their money. We had the chance to go hands-on with it, and it definitely makes a strong first impression for a budget friendly device.
Built to Last and Take a Splash
Xiaomi is leaning hard into what they call Redmi Titan Durability. The goal here is a phone that can handle the occasional tumble or daily knock without a fuss. While the sides are still plastic, the Pro Plus features a unique fiberglass rear panel and a sturdy Gorilla Glass Victus 2 display. One of its standout features is the IP69K rating. This goes beyond the standard water resistance found on most flagships, protecting the device even against high pressure, high temperature water jets. It is the kind of peace of mind that is rare in this price bracket, though we would still suggest finding the best protective case to keep that glass pristine.
A Screen That Pops
The display is a clear highlight of the experience. You get a massive 6.83-inch AMOLED panel that is incredibly fluid thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate. It is sharp too, with a resolution of 2772 x 1280. What really catches your eye is the peak brightness of 3,200 nits. This makes the screen easy to read even under direct midday sun, which is often a pain point for mid-range phones. The bezels are not the thinnest on the market, and the edges have a subtle 2.5D curve. It feels a bit like a throwback to classic smartphone designs, offering a comfortable grip and a premium look.
Performance and Software Experience
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 keeps things moving. While it is not designed to break world records like the chips in the upcoming flagship models, it is more than capable of handling multitasking and heavy app usage without breaking a sweat. You can spec this out with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, which is plenty for photos and games.
The phone runs on Hyper OS 2. It is snappy and responsive, though it does come with a fair amount of pre-installed apps. If you prefer a cleaner interface, you can fortunately uninstall most of the bloatware to suit your taste. Software stability matters, and Xiaomi seems to have polished the experience here to ensure the 6,500mAh battery lasts throughout the day and then some.
Capturing the Moment
On the photography front, the 200MP main sensor is the star of the show. Whether you are taking shots in bright daylight or trying to capture some mood in low light, the results are consistently good with plenty of detail. It is paired with an 8MP ultra-wide camera for those broad landscape shots. For selfies, the 32MP front camera does a great job during video calls.
If you like to record video, the main camera supports 4K at 30 fps. While it does not have the cinematic bells and whistles of a device like a premium foldable, it provides solid, reliable performance for your social media posts. The massive battery and 100W charging speed ensure that even if you spend all day recording, you can top up your power in just a few minutes. Pricing details are still under wraps, but if history is any indication, this will likely be a very smart choice for the budget conscious buyer.
