| The Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G adopts the design of its more expensive siblings but with a lower price tag. |
Xiaomi has officially pulled the wraps off its latest mid-range contenders, announcing the global rollout of the expansive Redmi Note 15 series. While the 5G models grab futuristic headlines, it’s the new Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G that’s poised to be the volume king in many markets, directly succeeding last year’s Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G. But in a move that may give savvy shoppers déjà vu, this "new" phone feels more like a cautious refinement than a revolutionary leap.
Let’s cut to the chase: if you were hoping for a complete camera overhaul or a jump to a sharper display, you might be disappointed. Xiaomi has played it remarkably safe with the core specs. The 200MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide, and 32MP selfie shooter return intact from the previous model. The screen also remains a familiar 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a 1080p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 240Hz touch sampling.
So, what is new? The upgrades are selective. The most significant improvement is arguably the massive 6,500 mAh battery, a substantial jump from the 5,500 mAh cell in its predecessor. It supports 45W wired charging, promising exceptional endurance for power users. The display, while the same in resolution, now boasts a blinding 3,200 nits peak brightness, making it much more usable under direct sunlight.
Under the hood, MediaTek’s Helio G100 Ultra makes way for the Helio G200 Ultra. While this denotes a generational step, early expectations suggest it won’t deliver the same level of performance boost seen in the 5G variants of the series. It’s an update that maintains competitiveness rather than redefines it.

Regional Availability and Pricing Quirk
In an interesting distribution twist, Xiaomi has decided against launching the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G in the UK. The rest of the Redmi Note 15 family will arrive, but 4G Pro seekers in Britain will have to look elsewhere.
For the rest of Europe, the phone is available now. The starting configuration of 8GB RAM and 256GB storage is priced at €349.90, offered in Black, Glacier Blue, and Titanium finishes. Xiaomi is also offering a notable launch deal: a variant with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage is available for the same €349.90 price tag, effectively saving you €50 off its intended MSRP.
The Verdict: A Solid Iteration for Specific Buyers
The Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G presents a classic mid-year upgrade scenario. Its stellar battery life and brighter screen are genuine, user-friendly improvements. However, the carry-over camera system and incremental chipset change mean that owners of the Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G have little reason to switch.
This phone is ideally suited for someone with an older device seeking a reliable, long-lasting 4G workhorse with a great screen, or for those in markets where 5G is still not a priority. It’s a competent phone that refines rather than reimagines, making its value highly dependent on local pricing against its still-relevant predecessor.
The Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G is now available for purchase in select European markets. You can also find the latest deals and offers on the series through major retailers like Amazon.
