Australia’s mid-range phone market is only getting hotter, as three Redmi Note 15 phones launch locally today, with toughness and sharp cameras touted as highlights.
Xiaomi, one of the biggest smartphone brands in the world, officially launched in Australia last year with the 15T series. Now, it’s bringing more of its affordable handsets through the Redmi sub-brand, including the Redmi Note 15 5G, Note 15 Pro 5G, and Note 15 Pro+ 5G.
Considered the top model of this launch, the $799 Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G looks to offer reasonable value for its price. Underneath its 6.83-inch AMOLED display is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, supported by up to 12GB of physical memory and 512GB of storage.
A 6,500mAh battery comes with the 15 Pro+, along with up to 100W wired charging speeds via its included charger. It’s considered fairly durable, too, with IP68 dust and water resistance, and a screen made of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 material.
Although it looks like the back of the phone houses a quad-camera array, it’s actually two: a 200MP main sensor, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. Xiaomi advertises the main sensor as capable of 2x and 4x “optical-level telephoto” zoom, although it’s an in-sensor zoom, as opposed to a mechanical zoom. On the front is a 32MP selfie camera.
What’s the difference between Redmi Note 15 models?
Alongside the Pro+ model, the $699 Redmi Note 15 Pro and $599 Note 15 (discounted to $499 at launch) pare back the internals. Both phones max out at 8GB of memory and 256GB of internal storage. As for the processor, the Note 15 Pro uses the MediaTek Dimensity 7400-Ultra, while the baseline Note 15 has the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset.
Only a few other variations separate the Note 15 Pro from its ‘Plus’ cousin, which shares the same-sized AMOLED screen. Its battery is listed as an ever-so-slightly bigger 6,580mAh, but the charging speed is a slower (but still quick) 45W. A 200MP main camera still comes included, but the front camera is 20MP.
The differences increase when looking at the cheapest Note 15 model. Unlike the other two models, it doesn’t support eSIM technology, which is an odd omission. Elsewhere, it has a marginally smaller 6.77-inch AMOLED screen, and a more compact 5,520mAh battery capacity. There’s no 200MP main camera here, either, replaced with a 108MP sensor instead. The other main difference is an IP65 rating, meaning it’s less resistant to water.
As reported by WhistleOut Australia, each new Redmi Note 15 model includes four years of operating system updates, plus six years of security updates.
Redmi’s latest range is available now in Australia, along with a launch promotion: anyone who buys the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ or the Note 15 Pro by 11 February gets a bonus Redmi Pad 2 tablet, valued at $349.
