Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 to launch globally with battery capacity downgrade
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 has been around for a month now, having been released on August 21 alongside the Redmi Note 15 Pro and Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus. While the trio can be picked up from importers, Xiaomi has not hinted at when it will offer any of the Redmi Note 15 series globally.
Nonetheless, initial Redmi Note 15 firmware may have already provided a hint about what is in store for the device's global release. Just like the Xiaomi 17, the Redmi Note 15 is reputed to feature a scaled-back battery globally compared to the variant already sold in China.
For context, the standard Redmi Note 15 leverages silicon battery technology to provide a 5,800 mAh peak capacity backed by 45 W wired charging. While the latter is said to be sticking around, PaperKing13 has shared evidence to suggest that the Redmi Note 15 will drop to a 5,520 mAh battery for its global release.
Nonetheless, this would still represent a bump over the Redmi Note 14 5G (curr. $248.99 on Amazon) and its 5,110 mAh battery. Unfortunately, a 108 MP primary camera will return in the form of the Samsung S5KHM9, as will 8 MP and 2 MP rear-facing sensors that are likely ultra-wide-angle and macro cameras, respectively. In other words, it sounds like the global Redmi Note 15 contains as much of its predecessor's hardware as the Chinese version of the Redmi Note 15.
