Reviews for the Xiaomi Redmi 15 5G

72.6% Xiaomi Redmi 15 5G smartphone review – A hot candidate for the runtime throne | Notebookcheck
Europe only ever gets phones with smaller batteries? Xiaomi shows that doesn't have to be the case, since the Redmi 15 5G comes with a powerful 7,000 mAh battery. Our review reveals what this means for the battery life and what else this relatively affordable phone has to offer.
Xiaomi Redmi 15 5G hands-on review
Source: GSM Arena English
The new Redmi 15 5G is an improvement over its predecessor in a handful of important ways. The massive battery is a huge step forward and will likely provide class-leading battery life. The ability to charge other devices with it, that too at a reasonable speed, cannot be understated. The phone also has a fresh new design, with a bigger and brighter display, which should appeal to those watching content on the go. However, the phone leaves room for improvement in other aspects. CPU performance hasn't improved, not just over the Redmi 13 5G but also the Redmi 12 5G from two years ago, and the GPU performance improvement is still not enough to make the phone viable for gaming. The camera feels like a step back in some ways over the predecessor when it comes to stills, and the videos are still unusable due to a lack of stabilization.

83% Xiaomi Redmi 15 Review
Source: Exhibit.tech English
The Xiaomi Redmi 15 is a great budget smartphone at ₹14,999, featuring a 7,000mAh battery, 6.9-inch 144Hz display, and Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 processor. Its sturdy design includes a thick chin, which might deter some users. While the camera performs decently for casual photography, it struggles in low light. Compared to rivals like the Vivo T4x, the Redmi 15 offers better battery life and display size but is slightly behind in performance. With features like IP64 resistance and expandable storage, it’s an excellent choice for those seeking a dependable, budget-friendly device.

78% Redmi 15 Review: Big daily driver with a battery for really long drives!
Source: Tech PP English
The Redmi 15 is one of the best options out there for those looking for a do-it-all phone on a budget of about Rs 15,000. Yes, we would have liked an AMOLED display, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and a few more megapixels on the other cameras, but we think that the massive battery and display do compensate for them. In many ways, the Redmi 15 is a classic Redmi mid-segmenter, with some distinctly Note-able genes of the Redmi Note kind. It just does everything pretty well, and thanks to that big battery, does so for a long time. It does well enough to have been a Note. Higher praise than that we cannot give in the mid-segment. At Rs 14,999, the Redmi 15 faces stiff competition, but stands tall (a phone that big would!), thanks to its steady performance and a battery that not only keeps the phone running but can also charge other phones!

Redmi 15 Review: Built to last, but can it outshine rivals?
Source: Think Digit English
The Redmi 15 plays safe in all aspects and definitely has a few things to flex. The design is pretty impressive, an IP64 rating makes the deal more promising, but the bulky form factor is hard to ignore, at least for me, when you compare the device to he iQOO Z10x that manages almost a similar battery in a lighter frame. The display is bright and colour accuracy is good, but those thick bezels often come in the way of what could have been an immersive viewing experience. Performance-wise, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 keeps things reliable for daily tasks and casual gaming, but benchmark numbers reveal it’s a step behind rivals in the same price bracket. The cameras shine in daylight with natural portraits, but low-light struggles keep them from being all-rounders.

Qualcomm Adreno 619: Integrated (in the Snapdragon 750G) graphics card based on the Adreno 600 architecture. The performance is a lot better than the old Adreno 612.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


SD 6s Gen 3: Mid-range SoC with 8 Kryo 660 cores (two ARM Cortex-A78 based cores with up to 2.3 GHz and 6 ARM Cortex-A55 with up to 2 GHz) and an X51 5G modem.
