Are you ready for a major upgrade to your daily smartphone experience, without breaking the bank? Xiaomi has officially announced the highly anticipated launch of the Redmi 15 5G in India, set for August 19, 2025. The device promises to deliver flagship-level performance and features at a truly budget-friendly price, making it one of the most talked-about tech launches of the year.
Xiaomi has set the Redmi 15 5G India launch for August 19, 2025. The event will kick off a new chapter of Redmi’s dominance in the entry-to-midrange 5G market, with expectations that the device will compete aggressively with popular Motorola, Realme, and Vivo models in the same segment.
The expected Redmi 15 5G price in India is between Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 15,000, closely aligning with its predecessor, the Redmi 13. The handset will be available online through Amazon and possibly Xiaomi’s own stores, with attractive introductory deals highly likely.
Redmi 15 5G is launching in three new colors:
Midnight Black
Frosted White
Sandy Purple
The device’s design incorporates a fresh Royale Chrome finish and a premium-looking, aerospace-grade metal camera module that is set to turn heads at its price point.
One of the most impressive features—and a true differentiator—is the enormous 7,000mAh battery using advanced Silicon-Carbon tech. This is the largest capacity ever seen in a mainstream Redmi phone.
But size is just the start. Thanks to new battery software optimizations, even just 1% battery in “Hibernation Mode” can last up to 13.5 hours.
The 15 5G will also support 18W reverse wired charging, letting you power up other devices just with your phone. Effectively, you’re carrying a slim powerbank in your pocket along with your phone.
Visual experience is set to be a highlight, with the Redmi 15 5G sporting a huge 6.9-inch FHD+ display with a rapid 144Hz refresh rate. This means twice the smoothness of typical 60Hz screens, making gaming sessions, videos, and social scrolling buttery and immersive.
Under the hood, Redmi 15 5G is powered by the new Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 processor. This brings:
Faster app launches
Improved multitasking
Enhanced gaming performance at this price
Support for the latest 5G bands in India
You’ll also get Android 15-based HyperOS 2.0 out of the box, promising a refreshed look, better efficiency, and several privacy/security enhancements.
The rear sports a dual camera system led by a 50MP AI-enhanced primary sensor—a massive leap over previous budget devices. Key highlights:
Crisp, high-resolution daylight photos
Advanced AI optimizations for low light
Smooth video recording
The secondary camera likely offers depth or macro functions, rounding out a versatile imaging package.
Slim and lightweight design despite massive battery
IP rating for dust and limited water resistance
Storage and RAM options (to be revealed at launch)
Latest connectivity: Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, Type-C charging
Likely under- or side-mounted fingerprint scanner
