The wait is finally over for smartphone buyers in India. Xiaomi has officially released the complete Redmi Note 15 series, with the powerful Pro and Pro+ models going on sale this week (February 2026). Known for offering “flagship killer” features on a budget, Xiaomi has taken a big leap this year. The new phones come with massive battery upgrades, military-grade durability, and cameras that compete with much more expensive phones.
This article breaks down everything you need to know about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 15, Note 15 Pro, and the top-tier Note 15 Pro+.
The “Titan” Upgrade: What Is New?
The biggest talking point of the Redmi Note 15 series is its focus on durability. Xiaomi calls this “Redmi Titan Durability.” For the first time in this price range, the Pro models come with an IP69K rating.
In simple terms, this means the phones are almost completely waterproof and dustproof. You could drop them in water or expose them to high-pressure jets, and they should survive. This is a feature usually found only in rugged phones or super-expensive flagships.

Key Specifications Breakdown
1. Display and Design
All three phones feature a stunning 6.7 to 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The screens are bright (up to 3200 nits peak brightness), making them easy to read even under direct sunlight. They are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which helps prevent scratches and cracks from accidental drops.
2. Camera Performance
Xiaomi has packed massive sensors into these phones.
- The Pro & Pro+ models feature a 200MP main camera (Samsung HP E sensor). This allows for incredibly detailed shots and decent zoom capabilities without a dedicated telephoto lens.
- The Base Note 15 comes with a 108MP main camera, which is still excellent for daily photography.
- Selfie lovers get a 32MP front camera on the Pro+ and a 20MP camera on the Pro.
3. Battery and Charging
This is where the Redmi Note 15 series truly shines.
- Redmi Note 15 Pro+: Comes with a 6,500mAh battery and blazing fast 100W charging. It can charge fully in under 30 minutes.
- Redmi Note 15 Pro: Actually has the largest battery at 6,580mAh, but with slower 45W charging.
- Base Note 15: Features a reliable 5,500mAh battery with 45W charging.
4. Processor and Speed
- Pro+ Model: Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4. This is a very capable chip for gaming and multitasking.
- Pro Model: Uses the MediaTek Dimensity 7400-Ultra. It offers smooth performance for daily tasks and moderate gaming.
- Base Model: Runs on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, which is efficient and good for general use but not heavy gaming.
Why This Launch Matters for India
The Indian smartphone market is very competitive between ₹20,000 and ₹40,000. Brands like OnePlus, Realme, and Motorola have been launching strong phones in this segment.
Xiaomi’s move to include IP69K water resistance and 6,500mAh+ batteries sets a new standard. Usually, phones in this range have smaller batteries (5000mAh) and lower water resistance (IP64). By offering these “flagship” durability features, Xiaomi is forcing other brands to upgrade their quality as well. This is a big win for Indian consumers who often have to deal with dust, rain, and long commutes without chargers.
What Happens Next?
With the sales now live, we expect stock shortages for the popular “Pro+” model in the first few weeks. If you are planning to buy one, check for bank offers immediately. Xiaomi is also offering bundles, such as a free Redmi Watch Move with the Pro+ model for a limited time.
