Xiaomi is gearing up to launch its latest mid-range 5G smartphone, the Redmi 15 5G, in India on August 19. The phone has already created buzz with its industry-first 7000mAh battery and strong performance specs. As per the brand’s confirmation, this device will bring significant upgrades in both battery efficiency and performance capabilities.
What makes this launch more exciting is that Xiaomi is introducing advanced features like a silicon-carbon battery in a segment where such specs are usually reserved for premium phones. Along with that, the phone will feature reverse wired charging support and promises exceptional battery health that lasts up to four years. These additions are clearly aimed at users who demand long-lasting power and high value for money.
Redmi 15 5G India launch
Xiaomi has revealed that the Redmi 15 5G India launch will be the company’s move to redefine what users can expect from an affordable 5G phone. The device will come with a massive 7000mAh battery, using advanced silicon-carbon tech. Xiaomi claims this ensures 80% battery health even after four years of usage—ideal for users who don’t switch devices every year.
The phone will also support 18W reverse wired charging, which is a handy feature for users looking to share battery with other gadgets. Despite the large battery, Xiaomi has managed to keep the form factor slim, making it the slimmest 7000mAh phone to date.
Display, Design and Performance
Redmi 15 5G sports a large 6.9-inch FHD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate, making it suitable for gaming, video streaming, and smooth scrolling. The high refresh rate enhances the user experience, especially for those who consume a lot of visual content.
The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset, designed to handle multitasking, social media, and even moderate gaming with ease. Coupled with 6GB or 8GB RAM options, performance is expected to be stable for most day-to-day tasks.
Camera and Other Specifications
In terms of cameras, the Redmi 15 5G packs a 50MP main sensor along with a secondary lens to assist in depth or wide-angle shots. On the front, it’s expected to carry an 8MP selfie shooter which should be good enough for casual photography and video calls.
The phone will likely include 33W fast charging and an IP64 rating, which provides some protection against dust and light splashes—suitable for daily use in Indian weather conditions.
Storage and Colour Variants
The device is expected to be launched in multiple configurations including 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB. Users can choose from three elegant colours: Midnight Black, Frosted White, and Sandy Purple—giving style options to suit every personality.
Pricing and Availability
In Malaysia, the 8GB + 256GB variant has been priced at RM 699 (approximately ₹14,305). Based on this, we can expect the Indian pricing to be competitive, potentially starting around ₹11,999 for the base variant. After the official launch, the Redmi 15 5G will be available on Amazon.in, mi.com, and across Xiaomi’s offline retail channels.
With a strong combination of long battery life, sleek design, solid performance, and an affordable price point, the Redmi 15 5G is shaping up to be a serious contender in the Indian budget smartphone market. Xiaomi’s focus on battery innovation, combined with reliable hardware, could make it one of the most talked-about launches this year. For users seeking a future-ready device without burning a hole in their pocket, this launch is definitely worth watching.
