Xiaomi, which introduced the Xiaomi 15 in China last October, initially launched the phone in color options like black, white, silver, green, and lilac. However, the brand has now announced a special color for the Chinese New Year: Red! This new color symbolizes luck and prosperity in traditional Chinese culture while giving the phone’s design a striking appearance. Here are the details…
How Does the New Red Color Affect the Design?
The Xiaomi 15 Red model features a black frame, with the device’s angular camera module also left in black tones. This creates a balance between the striking red color and the black details, offering a premium look. However, aside from the color, there are no changes in the device’s technical specifications.

Key Features of the Xiaomi 15 Red:
- Display: 6.36-inch LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, 1200×2670 resolution, 3,200 nits peak brightness
- Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite
- RAM: 12GB or 16GB options
- Storage: 256GB / 512GB / 1TB
- Camera:
- 50MP main camera (with OIS)
- 50MP ultra-wide camera
- 50MP telephoto (3x optical zoom)
- Front Camera: 32MP selfie camera
- Battery: 5,400mAh capacity, 90W wired charging, 50W wireless charging support
Currently, the new red color option for the Xiaomi 15 is exclusive to China. However, as seen in previous years, Xiaomi is expected to offer new color options for the global market as well. Additionally, the top model of the series, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, will be announced in the coming weeks. If Xiaomi follows its previous strategy, the global launch of the Xiaomi 15 may happen during the same event.
