Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus to arrive with "upgraded" chipset after all

Xiaomi is preparing the Redmi Note 15 Pro series to launch in China this month. Details of the devices have slowly surfaced in previous weeks, with the line-leading Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus tipped to be powered by the same chipset on last year's Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus.  New information appears to corroborate that idea, too. 

As shared online by multiple sources, the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus has made its debut on Geekbench ahead of its imminent launch in China. The mid-range phone was previously tipped to be powered by a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, and is listed with the chipset on board—albeit in an overclocked state. The version of the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 tested on the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus has its prime core running at 2.71 GHz, a neat jump in frequency from the 2.50 GHz on the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus (buy on Amazon) and other devices with that chipset last year. 

The GPU on board remains the Adreno 810, confirming that the chipset is a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. Performance-wise, the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus and its overclocked SoC score 1,228 and 3,230 on Geekbench 6's single-core and multi-core tests respectively, with that single-core score being about 6% higher than the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 managed on average in our in-house tests. The phone is also listed with 16 GB of RAM, an improvement on the 12 GB of RAM last year's phone maxed out at. A performance upgrade after all, all considered, but one unlikely to thrill fans of the series.
