Xiaomi has added a brand new member to its budget-friendly phone lineup. The Redmi 15R 5G was officially unveiled in China today. The device, which stands out with its large battery, slim design, and features for its price, is now available to users. Here are the new Redmi 15R 5G specifications, price, and details.
The Redmi 15R 5G comes with a 120Hz display
One of the most striking aspects of the Redmi 15R 5G is its remarkably elegant design despite its massive battery. With a body measuring just 7.99mm thin and weighing 205 grams, it boasts impressive performance for a phone with a massive 6000mAh battery. The device is available in four colors: Cloud White, Lime Green, Twilight Purple, and Star Rock Black.
The front of the phone features a 6.9-inch teardrop notch display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. This panel, capable of delivering up to 810 nits of brightness, features Wet Touch 2.0 technology, which detects touch even with wet fingers, making it easier to use in rainy weather or with wet hands.
The Redmi 15R 5G is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 processor, produced on a 6nm process. Xiaomi claims this phone will “maintain uninterrupted smoothness for 48 months,” a bold claim that promises long-term use. The rear camera setup is kept simple: a single 13-megapixel sensor supports HDR and basic scene optimizations.
The 6000mAh graphite battery is said to last up to 1.9 days on a single charge. The phone runs Android 15-based HyperOS 2 out of the box and is enhanced with accessibility features such as an extra-large font mode and a 200% increase in speaker output. A 3.5mm headphone jack is also included for users who prefer wired audio accessories.
The Redmi 15R 5G stands out with its budget-friendly pricing strategy. The entry-level model, with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, has a very attractive price tag of 1,099 yuan (approximately $150). Here’s the price of the new device:
- 4GB + 128GB: 1,099 yuan (approximately $150)
- 6GB + 128GB: 1,599 yuan (approximately $220)
- 8GB + 128GB: 1,699 yuan (approximately $235)
- 8GB + 256GB: 1,899 yuan (approximately $260)
- 12GB + 256GB: 2,299 yuan (approximately $315)
