BARCELONA, August 2, 2025 — Xiaomi’s latest budget warrior, the Redmi 15 5G, has officially landed in Europe, packing flagship-tier features at a price that’ll make rivals sweat. Priced from just €199, the device targets cost-conscious buyers but refuses to compromise on battery life or display tech—two areas where it punches far above its weight.
The Battery That Won’t Quit
The standout feature? A massive 6,000mAh battery—Xiaomi’s largest ever in the Redmi series. Early tests suggest 2-day endurance for moderate users, with 33W fast charging juicing it from 0% to 100% in under 90 minutes. For streaming binges or long commutes, this could be a game-changer.
144Hz Display: Smooth on a Budget
Xiaomi brings premium-screen tech down to earth with a 6.9-inch FHD+ display featuring a buttery 144Hz refresh rate. Whether scrolling TikTok or gaming, the fluidity rivals phones twice its price. Corning Gorilla Glass 5 adds durability, while a peak brightness of 550 nits ensures readability under sunlight.
Under the Hood
Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 700-series chipset (exact model TBA) and paired with up to 8GB RAM, the Redmi 15 5G handles multitasking smoothly. Storage options range from 128GB to 256GB, expandable via microSD. 5G connectivity future-proofs the device, though performance leans toward efficiency over raw power.
Camera specs include a triple rear setup:
- 50MP main sensor (f/1.8)
- 8MP ultra-wide (120° FOV)
- 2MP macro lens
A 16MP front camera sits in a punch-hole cutout. While low-light performance won’t dethrone flagships, daylight shots impress for the price.
Design & Software
The phone sports a sleek, gradient "Ripple Green" finish (also in classic Black) and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. It ships with Android 14 and MIUI 15, promising two OS updates. At 8.3mm thick and 205g, it’s hefty but ergonomic.
Pricing & Availability
Starting at €199 for the 4GB+128GB model and €249 for the 8GB+256GB variant, the Redmi 15 5G is now rolling out across Europe. Key retailers include:
- Euro.com.pl (Poland): Xiaomi Redmi 15 5G 128GB in Green

The Verdict
Xiaomi’s formula remains ruthlessly effective: identify premium features (huge battery, high-refresh display), democratize them. The Redmi 15 5G isn’t revolutionary, but it redefines value in Europe’s crowded budget segment. If battery life and smooth visuals top your list, this might be 2025’s smartest €200 spend.
