| Sadly, Xiaomi pre-installs HyperOS 2 on the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G rather than the newer HyperOS 3. |
Months after its debut in China, Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 15 series is inching closer to a worldwide launch—but still without an official global date. While the company has remained quiet, retailers have begun listing models ahead of time. Following recent sightings of the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus and two 4G variants, the standard Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G has now surfaced for pre-order in Germany, revealing some notable differences from the Chinese version.
The listing comes from German retailer Smartmobil, which has published detailed specs and pricing for the yet-to-be-announced global model. Interested shoppers can already view the device on Smartmobil’s official product page. This early retail appearance gives us our clearest look yet at what international customers can expect.
Key Differences: A Smaller Battery for Global Markets
One of the most significant changes is in battery capacity. According to the retailer’s specifications, the global Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G will feature a 6,580 mAh battery. This marks a reduction from the larger cell found in the Chinese variant, continuing a trend seen with last year’s model. For comparison, last year’s global Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G also shipped with a smaller battery than its Chinese counterpart—you can check its current price and specs $305 on Amazon.
This move is likely a strategic decision related to regional regulations, shipping logistics, or cost management, but it does mean potential buyers should adjust their endurance expectations accordingly.
Full Global Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G Specifications Revealed
Beyond the battery, the Smartmobil listing confirms a robust set of features:
- Display: A large 6.83-inch CrystalRes AMOLED screen.
- Processor: Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra chipset.
- Memory & Storage: Expected to start with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
- Design: Dimensions of 163.61 x 78.09 x 7.78 mm and a weight of 210 grams.
- Camera System: A triple-camera setup headlined by a 200MP primary sensor, joined by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 20MP front-facing selfie camera.
- Colors: The device will be available at launch in Black, Glacier Blue, and Titanium colorways.
Pricing and Availability: Can You Order Now?
The retailer lists a price of €399 (approximately $465), positioning it as a competitive mid-range offering. While the page suggests the phone can be ordered, it is crucial to note that this is a pre-release listing. It remains unclear when Smartmobil or Xiaomi will actually begin shipping units to customers who order now.
This German listing is part of a wider pattern of global variants appearing online. As reported by GSMArena, multiple Redmi Note 15 devices have been listed ahead of the global launch, indicating that an official announcement from Xiaomi could be imminent.
The Bottom Line for Buyers
The appearance of the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G at a major European retailer is the strongest signal yet that its global launch is on the horizon. The confirmed specs show a powerful device with a flagship-grade 200MP camera and vibrant AMOLED display, albeit with a adjusted battery size for markets outside China.
Prospective buyers should treat current pre-orders with cautious optimism, as final availability and official specifications will only be confirmed once Xiaomi makes its global announcement. For now, the listing provides an exciting and detailed preview of what’s to come in the competitive mid-range smartphone segment.
