If you’ve been holding off on buying a new mid-range phone, January 2026 might just be your moment. Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the Redmi Note 15 series in India on the 6th, and the leaks and official teasers are painting a pretty exciting picture for anyone who loves great value-for-money devices.
This time, Xiaomi is doing things a little differently: instead of dropping all models at once, they’re going for a phased rollout. The vanilla Redmi Note 15 will arrive first, followed by the Pro and Pro+ versions a little later. There’s even a cool-sounding “Redmi Note 15 5G 108 Master Pixel Edition” that’s already getting its own Amazon microsite, so expect some photography-focused marketing soon.
Here’s a simple breakdown of what each model is expected to bring (based on the latest credible leaks and teasers):
| Model | Display | Processor | Main Camera | Battery & Charging | Standout Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Redmi Note 15 | 6.8″ AMOLED, 120Hz | Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 | 108MP + 8MP | >5,500mAh, 45W | IP65, ~170g, HyperOS 2 |
| Redmi Note 15 Pro | 6.83″ AMOLED, 120Hz, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 | Dimensity 7400 Ultra | 200MP + 8MP | ~6,500mAh+ (fast charging expected) | IP68, premium build |
| Redmi Note 15 Pro+ | 6.83″ AMOLED, 120Hz, Victus 2 | Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 | 200MP + 8MP | ~6,500mAh+ | IP68, slightly better performance |
| Note 15 5G 108 Master Pixel Edition | 6.8″ AMOLED (possibly curved) | Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 | 108MP (tuned differently) | >5,500mAh | Slim metal frame, clean-edge design |
A couple of leaks also mention the base Note 15 might actually come with a 6.77-inch screen and weigh around 178g, but nothing is 100 % confirmed until Xiaomi takes the stage.
Expected Pricing in India
Xiaomi has always been the king of aggressive pricing in the mid-range segment, and the Note 15 series looks set to continue that tradition:
- Redmi Note 15 → around ₹20,000 (great entry point)
- Redmi Note 15 Pro → ₹27,000 – ₹30,000
- Redmi Note 15 Pro+ → roughly ₹35,000
- The special 108 Master Pixel Edition will probably sit close to the base or mid-Pro price, depending on storage options.
At these prices, the 200 MP camera on the Pro models and the overall build quality (IP68 on the higher variants!) feel almost too good to be true.
Why This Series Feels Special
- Camera focus: Between the 108 MP “Master Pixel” tuning on the special edition and the 200 MP sensor on the Pro duo, Xiaomi is clearly pushing photography as the headline feature.
- Build quality jump: IP68 on the Pro models is rare at this price point, and even the base model gets IP65.
- Slim & premium design: The Master Pixel Edition especially is being marketed with words like “metal frame” and “clean-edge,” which suggests Xiaomi wants it to feel more flagship-ish.
