We’ve been seeing leaks for a 4G-connected Redmi 15C over the last couple of weeks. Now info on a 5G model has surfaced with better than expected specs.
The Redmi 15 5G is said to feature a 6.9” 1080p+ 144Hz display. Previous Redmi models commonly had 720p+ resolution, so this is a welcome upgrade. The high refresh rate is the cherry on top (usually, we see 120Hz).
There’s more – the phone will allegedly be powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3. That too is higher than normal as the Redmi number series typically uses Snapdragon 4-series chips for its 5G models (e.g. Redmi 13 5G and Redmi 14C 5G featured Snapdragon 4 Gen 2). It’s a 6nm chip, so it’s nothing too advanced, but it’s still a class above the usual silicon we see in these phones. The chipset will be paired with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB storage.
The phone will launch with the tagline “One Charge. Two days. Zero Worries.” and it justifies that with a massive 7,000mAh battery. Only two Xiaomi phones have a higher capacity – the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro and Redmi K80 Ultra, both of which are high-end models.
The charge speed is on the low side at just 33W. That’s going to take a while to fill all 7,000mAh, but at least you’ll only have to do it once every couple of days.
The leak reveals additional detail, like a 50MP main camera joined only by a 2MP helper on the back, plus a fairly basic 8MP selfie camera. On the plus side, NFC is supported, which isn’t always the case in some markets.
Redmi 15 5G leaked specs
Speaking of, the price is given as “RM 699-RM 750”, which reveals that this info comes from Malaysia. The price converts to $165-$180, by the way.
For now, there is no information on when Xiaomi will unveil the Redmi 15 5G. Given all the leaks, we think that the Redmi 15C 4G is just around the corner, but these could have separate launches.
