- The global launch of the Redmi Note 15 series began in Poland and has leaked throughout the EU.
- Five models planned for Europe: 4G and 5G versions with changes in cameras and batteries.
- OLED/AMOLED panels up to 6,83 inches, sensors up to 200 MP, and silicon-carbon batteries.
- Leaked prices are around 299, 399 and 499 euros for the 15, 15 Pro and 15 Pro+ models in Europe.
La Redmi Note 15 series It has gone from being a mere rumor to becoming one of the most anticipated mid-range launches. Between listings mistakenly published in European stores, discreet announcements in Poland, and cross-references among carriers, the global arrival of this family is now an open secret, with a direct impact on Spain and the rest of Europe.
In recent weeks, the pieces have fallen into place: full details of the Redmi Notes 15 Pro 4G, near-final specifications of the 5G models, indicative prices for the Eurozone and even an X-ray of how Xiaomi wants to adjust cameras, batteries and memory to maintain its position in the best-selling mid-rangeWith all this material on the table, we can now draw a fairly clear picture of what will arrive in our stores.
A complete family: five Redmi Note 15 phones for the European market
The most reliable leaks suggest that the new range will arrive in full in our region. Distributors and operators of the European Union They have already listed, in one way or another, the five variants that would be marketed in Europe, which also includes the Spanish market.
According to those lists, the lineup would consist of two 4G models and three 5G models, all of them under the Redmi Note 15 umbrella:
- Redmi Note 15 4G
- Redmi Notes 15 Pro 4G
- Redmi Note 15 5G
- Redmi Notes 15 Pro 5G
- Redmi Note 15 Pro + 5G
This strategy of offering both 5G and non-5G versions allows for better price adjustments in countries where the 4G connectivity remains dominant And where many users prioritize camera and battery life over next-generation networks. At the same time, the 5G variants are clearly aimed at those looking for a long-lasting device with connectivity better suited for the coming years.
Redmi Note 15 5G: the foundation of the new mid-range
The standard 5G model has been quite clearly visible in a German operator (Sim.de), that It has even gone so far as to offer it linked to a contract fee.Although the specific offer is from Germany, it helps to understand how Xiaomi wants to position this device within Europe.
According to that specification sheet, the Redmi Note 15 5G would be sold in a configuration of 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, with two output colors: black and a glacial blue which seems to be becoming the family's main tone. The chassis would feature IP65 certified for dust and water resistance, a detail that until recently was reserved for higher-end models.
The screen would be one of its strong points: a panel 6,77-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rateDesigned to offer smooth browsing and gaming without spiking energy consumption. Under the hood, leaks agree on the use of Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen3, a 4nm chip that we have already seen in other mid-range models and that promises a reasonable balance between performance and efficiency.
Regarding autonomy, sources indicate a battery of 5.520 mAh with 45 W fast chargesupported by silicon-carbon technology in some variants. This figure is slightly lower than the 5.800 mAh of the Chinese model, but sufficient to offer a long day of use for most users. The camera system would be a significant improvement over the Chinese version, with a 108 megapixel main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a third 2MP support sensor.
Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G: the silent protagonist of the leak
Of all the models, the one that has leaked the most detailed information in Europe is the Redmi Notes 15 Pro 4GAn Italian store even published the complete specifications of the device, including its price, revealing most of its features before the global announcement.
This Note 15 Pro 4G would be based on a processor MediaTek Helio G200 UltraIt is designed to offer good performance in gaming and multitasking without significantly increasing the final cost of the device. It would be accompanied by... 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage, with the possibility of expanding memory via microSD slot, something that was being lost in the mid-range and that Xiaomi seems to be recovering in this generation.
The terminal would mount a panel 6,77-inch OLED with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rateUnlike other more aggressive resolution options, this one prioritizes keeping power consumption under control, which goes well with the integrated battery: 6.500 mAh with 45 W fast charge, a remarkable figure for a 4G model that does not need to power modems as demanding as those of 5G.
Where this Pro 4G makes the most obvious leap is in the camera. All available information agrees that it will inherit the 200 megapixel main sensor Its Pro 5G sibling boasts a 1/1,4-inch screen, significantly larger than usual for this segment. It would be accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a third 2MP auxiliary sensor, while the front camera would reach... 32 megapixelsOn paper, a setup designed to stand out on social media and in everyday photography.
As for the price, the Italian store placed this model at around 289-295 euros for the 8/256 GB variantThese are not official figures, but they fit with other leaks that place the Pro 4G slightly below the Pro 5G models and well above the basic Note 15.
Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G: a balance between power and battery life
The Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G is shaping up to be the most balanced model in the family, designed for those who want a leap in performance and camera quality without reaching the price of the Pro+. Several stores in Germany have announced its early arrival, with a configuration very similar to the one seen in China, but with battery and photography settings for the global market.
On the front, this model would have a screen 6,83-inch AMOLED display, 1,5K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, protected in the more advanced variants by Gorilla Glass Victus 2It is a slightly larger panel than the base models, with more definition and a brightness that, according to the Chinese specifications, can reach very high peaks, designed for good outdoor visibility.
The chosen brain would be the MediaTek Dimension 7400 UltraThis chip, geared towards the mid-to-high-end market, has been seen in other manufacturers' products and should offer a good combination of graphics power and efficiency. Memory configurations in China go up to... 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storageBut a standard version is expected in Europe. 8 / 256 GB as a basis.
In terms of camera, the global versions would differ from the Chinese models: the European Redmi Note 15 Pro would feature a 200 MP main sensorIt also features an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP macro lens, compared to the 50MP of the Chinese version. This move strengthens its photographic appeal in markets where competition is particularly fierce in this area.
The battery capacity would be slightly lower than the Chinese model, dropping from 7.000 mAh to around 6.580 mAh with 45 W loadThis is also supported by silicon-carbon technology. This reduction aims to keep the weight and thickness down without sacrificing generous battery life, something key for a device designed for several days of moderate use.
In Germany, one of the stores that has listed it without a contract mentions a price close to 399 EurosThis figure coincides with other leaks that place the starting point of Pro 5G in Europe there.
Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G: the top-of-the-range model in the series
The top step is occupied by Redmi Note 15 Pro + 5GThis model aims to offer a near-high-end experience while remaining within the premium mid-range price bracket. In practice, it serves as the technological showcase for the Note 15 family.
This terminal would integrate a screen 6,83-inch OLED with 1,5K resolution and 120 Hzwith a more refined design and gently curved edges on all four sides for improved ergonomics. In terms of durability, certifications indicate IP68 In the more equipped variants, it's a step above the IP65 rating found in the base model.
Inside, the leaks agree on the processor Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, accompanied by 8 GB of RAM in the starting configurations and up 512 GB storage in the most complete versions. The goal is to offer enough power for gaming, photography, and intensive use without the device falling short in the medium term.
The battery would be one of its biggest selling points: around 6.500 mAh with fast charging up to 100W The global version has slightly less capacity than the Chinese model's 7.000 mAh and 90 W, but with an even faster charging speed. On paper, this translates to being able to fully charge a large portion of the battery in just a few minutes with the right charger.
The camera setup also differs from the model destined for China. There, the Pro+ opts for a system with 50 MP telephoto lenswhile in Europe a configuration of 200 MP + 8 MP + 2 MP, without a TV to keep costs down and reinforce the message of a single, high-resolution sensor as the main focus. The front camera would remain in 32 SM, geared towards selfies and high-quality video calls.
Regarding prices, several sources place the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G for around 499 euros In Europe, with slight variations depending on the country and promotions. It's a moderate increase compared to previous generations, influenced in part by the escalating prices for RAM and storage that the industry has been pointing out for months.
Changes between the Chinese and global versions
Although the Redmi Note 15 series was officially launched in China in August, the models that will arrive in Europe They won't be a perfect copy of the originals. Xiaomi is repeating its usual strategy: maintaining the design, screens, and processors, but introducing specific changes in... cameras and batteries depending on the market.
In the case of the Redmi Note 15, the global model would gain a slightly larger screen (6,83 inches versus 6,77) and a more ambitious camera system, moving from a 50MP main sensor with basic support to a combination of 108 + 8 + 2 MPIn return, the battery capacity would decrease slightly from 5.800 to 5.520 mAh, maintaining the 45W fast charging.
The Notes redmi 15 ProThe differences lie primarily in the photography. The Chinese version uses a 50MP main sensor, while the global model would opt for a sensor of 200 MP accompanied by 8 MP ultra-wide angle and 2 MP macroThe battery would also be adjusted 7.000 mAh to 6.580 mAh, maintaining the same charging power.
El Redmi Note 15 Pro + It's the one that registers the most striking change: the 50MP telephoto lens of the Chinese model would disappear in the European variant, replaced by a configuration of 200 + 8 + 2 MPAt the same time, the battery capacity would increase from 7.000 to 6.500 mAhbut fast charging would take a small leap to 100 W, which would keep the recharge time at very competitive levels.
These adjustments reflect the idea of strengthening the camera's appeal in markets like Europe, where comparisons between mid-range phones usually focus on the photographic quality and in autonomy, much more than in small nuances of pure power.
The price factor: leaks for Europe and market context
The various leaks allow us to trace a fairly consistent fork Regarding how much the Redmi Note 15 will cost in Europe, always with the caveat that Xiaomi usually adjusts figures and promotions according to the country and the launch phase.
On the one hand, the range already has official prices in China, with the Redmi Note 15 starting from figures that, at direct exchange rates, are around 120-180 euros According to our memory, the Redmi Note 15 Pro and Pro+ are priced between approximately €160 and almost €280. Naturally, these prices aren't directly applicable to Europe due to taxes, logistics, and other factors.
In European territory, the most frequently cited sources place the European Redmi Note 15 around 299 euros, Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G for around 399 euros and Redmi Note 15 Pro+ around 499 euros, typically with base configurations of 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The Pro 4G would fall slightly short of these numbers, in the range of 290-295 euros, according to the Italian store that released its listing.
Beyond the specific figures, Xiaomi itself and other manufacturers like Samsung have acknowledged that price of RAM and storage memory Prices are rising significantly, partly due to soaring demand for chips used in servers and artificial intelligence applications. This cost pressure makes it more difficult to maintain the same prices as in previous years, especially in Midrangewhere the profit margin was already very tight.
Even with that upward pressure, the Redmi Note 15 seems to be in a relatively contained position, with moderate increases compared to the previous generation and with the intention of continuing to compete strongly in terms of value for money against other Android rivals.
Global launch: Poland as the gateway and Spain in the spotlight
The international rollout of the Redmi Note 15 series is anything but conventional. Far from a single global launch, Xiaomi has opted for a staggered launch which combines silent announcements, controlled leaks, and local premieres.
The first official stop in Europe has been Polandwhere the company has already announced the launch of several 5G models in the family: the Redmi Note 15 5G, the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G, and the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G. Some reference prices and sales start dates have been confirmed there, beginning around [date missing]. December 18 for the main configurations.
Meanwhile, India is emerging as the other major initial showcase. Xiaomi's official channels in the country have begun to explicitly mention the Redmi Note 15 5G They are already preparing a dedicated microsite, with a specific date that is repeated in several leaks: the January 6 as the day of presentation of the new batch of 5G models.
Talking about SpainXiaomi has not yet set a specific date, but the brand's historical pattern and the leaked schedule point to a relatively near launch Following its official release in Poland and other Central European countries, the previous series quickly crossed borders, and all indications suggest a similar trend will emerge.
Meanwhile, some stores and operators European They have already started listing the new models. in their internal catalogs, something that usually precedes announcements for the general public by a short time. Barring any surprises, Spanish users shouldn't have to wait long to be able to purchase one of the models in the Redmi Note 15 family.
With all the leaks and official announcements, the new Redmi Note 15 series is shaping up to be a continuation of the previous model but with greater ambition: large and fast OLED and AMOLED displays, sensors of up to 200 megapixels inherited from the high-end range, silicon-carbon batteries that prioritize autonomy, and a price point that, despite the general increase in component costs, seeks to remain competitive in the European mid-rangeIt remains to be seen how Xiaomi will finalize the details for Spain, but the groundwork has been laid for these new Redmi phones to once again take center stage in operator and store catalogs in the coming months.
