Ahead of the official announcement, the product page for the Redmi Note 15 5G briefly went live on Xiaomi’s website and Amazon India, revealing several key details about the upcoming smartphone before being taken down.
Launch Date Confirmed via Amazon Listing
An Amazon microsite temporarily displayed the January 6 launch date for the Redmi Note 15 5G before being replaced with a generic “Coming Soon” message. Although the launch date was quickly removed, screenshots captured beforehand strongly suggest that Xiaomi is locked in on this timeline for the India debut.
India Gets an Upgraded Camera Setup
Xiaomi has confirmed that the Indian version of the Redmi Note 15 5G will feature a 108MP primary camera, a notable upgrade over the Chinese variant, which launched with a 50MP sensor.
According to recent European retail listings, the phone will come with a dual rear camera system, consisting of:
- 108MP main camera
- 8MP ultra-wide lens
For selfies and video calls, the device is expected to include a 20MP front-facing camera. The same camera configuration is likely to be carried over to the Indian model.
Performance and Software Expectations
Globally, the Redmi Note 15 5G is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, built on a 4nm process and capable of clock speeds up to 2.4GHz. This processor should offer a balance of efficiency and performance for daily use and gaming.
In India, the smartphone is expected to ship with HyperOS 2, Xiaomi’s latest software layer, offering improved system optimization and new features over previous versions.
Battery and Charging: Bigger Could Be Better
While the China variant of the Redmi Note 15 5G launched with a 5,800mAh battery, leaks suggest that the global version may include a 5,520mAh unit.
However, considering current market trends, Xiaomi may equip the Indian model with a 6,000mAh or larger battery, paired with at least 60W fast charging. Final details will be confirmed at launch.
Display and Durability
- The Redmi Note 15 5G is expected to feature a 6.77-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a resolution of 2392 × 1080 pixels. The panel is rumored to support:
- 120Hz refresh rate
- Up to 3000 nits peak brightness
- In-display fingerprint scanner
In terms of durability, the device may carry an IP68 or even IP69 rating, offering strong protection against dust and water.
Expected Price Range in India
The Redmi Note 15 5G is likely to be priced between ₹20,000 and ₹25,000 in India. For reference, the Redmi Note 14 5G launched at ₹18,999 for the base variant, while the higher storage model was priced at ₹21,999.
Official pricing and full specifications will be revealed closer to the launch date.
What to Expect Next
With a high-resolution camera, large AMOLED display, capable chipset, and potentially massive battery, the Redmi Note 15 5G could become one of the most competitive mid-range smartphones of early 2026 in India.
For now, all eyes are on January 6, when Xiaomi is expected to make everything official.
