Xiaomi launches the REDMI Note 15 series

Xiaomi has launched the REDMI Note 15 Series, a lineup designed for people who want a smartphone that’s both durable and powerful. Built for everyday life, these phones can handle rainy days, accidental drops, and dusty environments, making them perfect for busy UK lifestyles. Whether you’re navigating city streets or enjoying the outdoors, the REDMI Note 15 Series is made to keep up without slowing you down.

The series includes four different models to suit different needs and budgets: the REDMI Note 15 for essential everyday use, the REDMI Note 15 5G for faster connectivity, the REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G for strong all-round performance, and the REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G for those who want the very best features. Each model combines solid build quality, impressive battery life, and powerful performance, so whether you’re taking photos, gaming, or working on the go, there’s an option for everyone.

A standout feature across the series is REDMI Titan Durability, which makes these mid-range phones exceptionally tough. The Pro models come with reinforced frames, high-strength motherboards, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and IP68/IP69K water and dust resistance, meaning they can survive drops, splashes, and even brief submersion. This makes them perfect companions for everyday adventures, from crowded commutes to outdoor trips, giving you peace of mind that your phone can handle whatever life throws at it.

The REDMI Note 15 is a practical and reliable phone, perfect for everyday use, and starts at just £179 for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage model.

The 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen is impressively bright at 3200 nits, so everything stays clear even under the sun, and the 120Hz refresh rate ensures smooth scrolling through social media or apps.

Inside, the MediaTek Helio G100-Ultra processor handles everyday tasks smoothly, and with up to 16GB RAM via memory extension, multitasking is a breeze. The 6000mAh battery can last up to two days, while 33W turbo charging quickly gets you back to full power.
