Cons
- Performance could be better
- Ships with Android 15
One of the lightest and sleekest phones in the segment
+
Upon wielding the Redmi Note 15 for the first time, you can't help but notice how conveniently the handset settles in your palms. With a rounded polycarbonate midframe, the Note 15's ergonomics are reminiscent of several curved display phones released in the past, such as the POCO X7 and Moto G96. Plus, the centred protruding camera module lets you rest your index finger on its bottom edge for extra support during one-handed use.

A near-perfect curved display for multimedia
+
The display panel on the Redmi Note 15 has received several upgrades over the Note 14, with the most significant change being the shift to a 3D curved display from a flat panel. For starters, the display measures 6.77 inches and features AMOLED technology, a FHD+ (2392 × 1080) resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, a 12-bit DCI-P3 wide colour gamut, 3,840Hz PWM dimming, 3,200 nits peak brightness, and 800 nits typical brightness.

Performance that isn't class-leading
+
Although the Redmi Note 15 has received a performance upgrade over its predecessor, the 4nm-based Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 doesn't deliver performance numbers as high as those of the heavy hitters in the sub-Rs 25,000 segment. This chipset is paired with UFS 2.2 storage speeds and LPDDR4X RAM, and is available in two options: 8+128GB and 8+256GB.

Capable camera for daylight shots
+
To up the photography and videography experience from the previous generation models, the Note 15 features a brand new primary camera. It debuts the 50MP 1/1.67-inch Samsung HM9 lens that supports OIS, has an f/1.7 aperture and comes with 3x in-sensor digital zoom. Tagging along with this camera on the rear is an 8MP ultrawide lens, while up front there's a 20MP selfie shooter.

Solid battery endurance with room for improvement
+
Powering the Redmi Note 15 is a 5,520mAh battery, a 410mAh bump over its predecessor. While the battery capacity looks decent on paper, several smartphones released last year packed 7,000mAh or larger batteries. Redmi claims the Note 15 is tuned to last for over 38 hours on a single charge and can retain at least 85 percent of its original capacity even after 1,600 charge cycles.

A long-supported and feature-rich software
+
The Redmi Note 15 flaunts Xiaomi's feature-rich HyperOS 2 skin. Based on Android 15, although it's not running on the latest version of Android available, it generally comes across as reliable software. For day-to-day operations, the UI has smooth animations and transitions, while the customisation options aren't the best out there unless you only rely on in-built themes. I found the software to lack colour accent theming and homescreen icon customisations. On a positive note, the lockscreen has several clock templates to choose from.

Some extras that add to the experience
