Redmi Note 15 5G: A New Name, The Same 108MP Problem?

The time for the Redmi Note 15 series to go global? It’s finally here. The devices first dropped in China a few months back. Now, Redmi is readying them for the rest of the world. They started teasing the phone in India today. This is typical. Everyone knows the international versions often change specs, even if only a little, versus the ones released in China.

Honestly, this launch was totally expected. Leaks have been flying everywhere. Retailers listed the phones. Tons of specs surfaced. The teaser today just confirms what we all figured: the launch is imminent. For budget-conscious buyers, this is a very big deal.

Redmi is screaming about the camera. They’re selling it using a phrase: the “108 Master Pixel Edition.” This means a giant 108-megapixel sensor is on the back.

Wait, though. The last phone, the Note 14, had 108MP too. So, why the fancy new name? My best guess? The "Master Pixel" tag is just a really catchy way to market a camera that is maybe only a little better. Perhaps the sensor itself is newer. Or, it could be the software cleaning up the photos is much smarter. In my view, it’s mostly a marketing push. It makes that huge 108MP number feel exciting and new to people. That number still sells phones in the mid-range.

The leaks are very helpful. We have a clear view of the phone's hardware. It’s a solid upgrade. Not revolutionary. It’s smart and hits all the important buyer points.

The screen? It will be a huge 6.83-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel. That’s a small boost over the old model. Powering the whole thing is the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 SoC. That's a wise choice for a mid-range device. It comes with a good amount of memory: 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. That’s a solid baseline.

The camera system is simple: 108MP main, 8MP ultrawide, and a 20MP selfie camera. The battery is the practical highlight. It's getting a bump to 5,520 mAh. It supports decent 45W wired charging. Bigger screen, bigger battery, newer chip. This combination is always a winner. It keeps the Note 15 5G looking extremely competitive against all rivals. We should know the full truth very soon.
