Verdict: Xiaomi Redmi 15C 5G
The affordable Redmi 15C now also comes in a 5G variant. It not only brings faster connectivity, but also noticeably more performance and quicker charging than before. The case is attractive to look at, but wide bezels and modest stability make it clear that this is still an entry-level device.
The cameras deliver acceptable results. The speaker does its job, but little more. GPS accuracy is sufficient for everyday navigation, while the IPS display impresses with good brightness and accurate colour reproduction.
the price difference between the 4G and 5G versions of the Redmi 15C is currently 30 - 40 euros in online stores. If you can invest this amount, you will get a substantial upgrade that is worthwhile, especially in terms of system speed and loading times.
On its own, the Xiaomi Redmi 15C 5G is a capable entry-level smartphone.
Pros
Cons
Price and availability
During our review, the Redmi 15C 5G started at around €140, available via MediaMarkt and amazon.de. While the model appears on Xiaomi's global website, it is not officially sold via the company's US or UK stores. Buyers there currently only have access through third-party importers, with pricing dependent on the seller.

Specifications
Case: colourful plastic design
Compared with the Redmi 14C, the review unit has grown by a few millimetres, offering a slightly larger display area. Its weight, however, remains unchanged at 211 grams.
The smartphone features a plastic case. The review unit came in violet, with a back panel that plays with light using a mix of more and less reflective surfaces. By contrast, the green and black variants are more straightforward in design.
On the front, the screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 3. The bezels are clearly visible, marking the Redmi 15C 5G out as an entry-level smartphone.
The case feels stable in everyday use, though it creaks faintly and shows slight flex under pressure.
The manufacturer specifies IP64 protection: the phone is fully protected against dust and solid particles, but only resistant to splashes of water.
Features: limited RAM
The Xiaomi Redmi 15C 5G is available in the following storage variants:
- 4 GB RAM/128 GB storage
- 4 GB RAM/256 GB storage
More than 4 GB of RAM is not offered, leaving little headroom for demanding apps or multitasking.
The USB-C port is wired internally only as USB 2.0, so it cannot output video over cable and does not support faster data transfer rates.
NFC for contactless payments is included.
microSD card reader
Storage expansion is possible via the microSD slot. Read and write speeds are respectable.

Software: updates until 2031
Xiaomi preinstalls HyperOS 2, its own user interface based on Android 15. One drawback is the abundance of preloaded software, along with ads appearing in certain places. Although the ads can be disabled, doing so requires switching them off app by app, making the process cumbersome.
The manufacturer promises six years of security updates, extending to 2031. System upgrades are also confirmed up to Android 17.
Sustainability
There are no concrete statements on the sustainability of the Redmi 15C 5G, nor are repair manuals provided.
However, Xiaomi does list approximate spare part prices on its website, and the packaging is largely free of plastic.
Communication and GNSS: good 5G frequency coverage
Wi-Fi 5 is the fastest wireless standard supported by the Xiaomi Redmi 15C 5G. In testing with our reference router, the Asus ROG Rapture AXE11000, we observed occasional noticeable drops in data rates. Overall, however, transfer speeds between 250 and 350 Mbit/s were typical.
4G and 5G frequency coverage is solid, allowing for frequent mobile internet use while travelling. For very distant international trips, though, buyers should check compatibility in advance, as the Redmi 15C 5G is not a true world phone.

Outdoors, the smartphone quickly determines location with an accuracy of up to two meters.
In our real-world cycling test, the Redmi 15C 5G performed well overall in terms of positional accuracy.
For users who do not require absolute precision, the phone can be recommended as a reliable navigation device.
Phone functions and call quality: clear and reliable
Xiaomi relies on Google's standard phone app. The app was recently updated, but it remains intuitive and easy to use.
Call quality is solid: overall voice transmission is clear, though the other party can occasionally sound a bit tinny.
Cameras: decent for the price
A 50-megapixel main camera is located on the back, supported by a depth sensor for portrait effects. Photos show good colour reproduction, but often lack sharpness.
In low light, darker areas are frequently lost in shadow.
Video recording is possible at up to 1080p and 30 fps. Autofocus and exposure tend to react somewhat slowly, but results are acceptable given the device's price.
The 13-megapixel front camera produces decent selfies.

Accessories and warranty: charger not included
A charger is not part of the package, but a USB cable, SIM tool, and silicone case are provided.
Xiaomi grants a 12-month warranty for smartphones purchased in the EU.
Input devices and operation: reliable biometrics
The 120 Hz display responds quickly to inputs and usually implements them smoothly. The touchscreen even offers a high-sensitivity mode, allowing operation with wet hands. In testing, this worked reasonably well.
A fingerprint sensor is integrated into the standby button on the right. It unlocks the smartphone quite reliably and with virtually no delay. Biometric face recognition via the front camera is also available. This method proved dependable, but it is only 2D-based and therefore not particularly secure.
Display: significantly brighter
The IPS panel measures 6.9 inches diagonally and offers a relatively low resolution of 1,600 × 720 pixels. With a pixel density of just 254 PPI, content does not appear especially sharp.
Brightness, however, is impressive and noticeably higher than that of the predecessor: up to 591 cd/m² ensures fairly good legibility even in brighter environments.
Colour reproduction is also decent, although reds in particular appear slightly oversaturated.
No PWM flickering was detected during testing.

Performance: good power for little money
The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 provides a solid SoC for entry-level phones, delivering a clear performance boost compared with its predecessor. A Motorola Moto G35, however, still manages to offer somewhat more power.
In everyday use, the review unit occasionally stutters and hesitates when launching apps. Overall, though, navigation through the menus is reasonably smooth. With more demanding tasks, however, the smartphone quickly reaches its limits.
