Xiaomi recently turned heads in China with the debut of the Redmi Note 15 series. The lineup features the standard Note 15, the Pro, and the top tier Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus. The good news for the rest of the world is that the Pro Plus has officially made its global entrance, bringing some serious hardware upgrades that make its predecessor look a bit dated. We finally got some hands-on time with it, and it is clear that Xiaomi is aiming for the crown of the affordable mid-range market.
Built to Survive the Daily Grind
One of the first things you notice when picking up the device is the heft and solidity. Xiaomi is marketing what they call “Redmi Titan Durability,” a fancy way of saying they have reinforced the structural integrity to handle the inevitable drops and knocks of daily life. The back panel is crafted from fiberglass, which feels much more premium than standard polycarbonate, while the front is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2. While the frame is still plastic, the overall package feels dense and well-put-together. It even carries an IP69K rating, meaning it can withstand high-pressure water jets and heavy dust, a rarity in this price bracket.
A Screen That Punches Above Its Weight
The display is a genuine highlight. You are looking at a 6.83 inch AMOLED panel that hits a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. With a resolution of 2772 x 1280, everything from text to high-res photos looks incredibly sharp. The real star of the show is the brightness, which peaks at a staggering 3200 nits. This ensures the screen remains perfectly legible even under the harsh midday sun. The design uses slightly curved edges, reminiscent of the 2.5D glass era, which helps the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus feel a bit more ergonomic in the palm, though the bezels are slightly more prominent than what you would find on a flagship.
Performance and Software Experience
Under the hood, Xiaomi has opted for the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. When paired with up to 12GB of RAM, the phone feels snappy and responsive during multitasking. You won’t be breaking any world records in benchmarks, but for gaming, social media, and productivity, it holds its own perfectly well. Storage goes all the way up to 512GB, which is plenty for 4K video and large photo libraries. The software experience is powered by Hyper OS 2. While the interface is fluid, it does come with a fair bit of pre-installed software. Fortunately, most of these extra apps can be uninstalled if you prefer a cleaner look.
High-Resolution Photography
The camera department is led by a massive 200MP main sensor. In our brief testing, the phone captured impressive detail in daylight, and the processing seems more natural than in previous years. Low-light performance is also surprisingly competent, retaining color accuracy without blowing out highlights. There is also an 8MP ultra-wide lens for those expansive landscape shots and a 32MP front sensor for crisp selfies. If you are into video, the main camera handles 4K at 30 fps, providing stable and clear footage for your social feeds.
Battery Life That Just Keeps Going
Perhaps the most impressive spec is the 6500mAh battery. For most users, this is a two-day phone without even trying. When you do eventually run low, the 100W wired charging can top it back up in a flash. This combination of longevity and speed is a hallmark of Xiaomi’s Redmi Note series, and it continues to be a major selling point. While we are still waiting on official regional pricing, it is expected to follow the brand’s tradition of offering high-end features at a price that won’t break the bank.
