Redmi 15 5G Set to Launch in India With 7000mAh Battery Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 and 144Hz Display

Xiaomi is again disrupting the Indian budget smartphone segment. The company is about to introduce the Redmi 15 5G, as has been confirmed by a fresh teaser that has gone live on Amazon India. The listing suggests a huge battery boost and strong performance improvements over its antecedents, making the Redmi 15 5G much-awaited under the sub-₹15,000 segment. Here's all we have so far from leaks to official teasers and how it stacks up against competition in the same category.

Teaser Confirms Huge Battery Life

The feature that everyone has been raving about with the Redmi 15 5G has to be its 7,000mAh battery, a far cry from the 5,030mAh on the Redmi 13 5G and 5,160mAh on the Redmi 14C 5G. The Amazon teaser says that the phone can last up to 7.5 hours on standby when it has just 1% battery. By that standard, a complete charge might yield as much as 750 hours or 31+ days of standby time an unusual sight in this class of products.

To put that into perspective:

• Redmi 14C 5G with 5,160mAh: ~21 days standby

• Redmi 13 5G with 5,030mAh: Undisclosed, likely lower

• Redmi 15 5G with 7,000mAh: ~31.25 days (as per teaser)

For active users or users in locations with subpar charging availability, this may be a lifesaver. More battery capacity also equates to reduced charge cycles, which all factor into healthier battery durability and lifespan in the months and years to come.

Performance

Another standout feature of the Redmi 15 5G is its Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset, a 6nm processor that delivers quite a performance boost. The chipset features:

• 2x Cortex-A78 cores at 2.3GHz for heavy-duty tasks

• 6x Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz for efficiency and multitasking

It is the same chip used in the Moto G85, and benchmark leaks reveal that it beats the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 found in the Redmi 13 5G and 14C 5G. In AnTuTu tests, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 offers better scores in CPU, GPU, memory, and UX categories leading to a noticeably more responsive and smoother user experience.

This translates to improved app loading, multitasking, gaming, and long-term use particularly for those who want to keep the phone for longer than a year or two.

Display

If the performance and battery are not enough, the Redmi 15 5G could also pack a Full HD+ resolution screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. This higher refresh rate compared to the 120Hz panels found on the Redmi 14C 5G and Redmi 13 5G could mean a much smoother and pleasing experience particularly for scrolling, animations, and gaming.

Coupled with a power-saving chipset and huge battery, users should be able to run high refresh rates without compromising battery life, which is something that budget phones tend to lack.

Camera

Redmi is probably retaining a 50MP primary sensor along with a 2MP depth sensor on the Redmi 15 5G. This might not be a game-changing configuration, but Xiaomi has been refining its camera processing with every new generation. There will be improved low-light photos, sharper images, and better AI scene detection than its predecessors.

Software

The Redmi 15 5G is expected to launch with Android 15 out of the box, topped with HyperOS 2.0. Xiaomi’s new software skin is lighter, faster, and more polished than MIUI, and includes improved customization options, better memory management, and tighter integration with Google services.

Durability

Another significant upgrade is the IP64 rating, which provides moderate dust and water splash protection. This is over some past Redmi models in this category and ensures that the phone becomes more usable for day-to-day activities even in wet or dusty conditions.

RAM, Storage & Global Pricing Expectations

Leaked specs indicate that the Redmi 15 5G may have a generous 8GB RAM and 256GB onboard storage for the RM699 (around ₹14,000) global variant. If this happens, it will be an amazing value-for-money deal, as most of the phones in this range have either 6GB+128GB or less.

There might also be lower memory options to start with at the launch to support users who are on tighter budgets. But if the 8GB+256GB model is launched below ₹14,000 in India, it may even surpass all budget competitors in raw specifications and usage.

If you’re currently looking to buy a budget 5G phone and your needs aren’t immediate, it may be wise to hold off until the Redmi 15 5G launches in India. With a rumored price tag under ₹14,000 and class-leading specs, this phone could set a new benchmark in the budget smartphone category.

Expect official announcements on the India launch date and the date of sale availability soon. Stay glued to AndroBranch for updates as the Redmi 15 5G inches its way to the release date.
