Xiaomi's presence in the Indian market has diminished over time. They are not launching dozens of phones as before, but there's a choice available in every segment, like the Redmi 15 5G, available under an affordable 15,000 rupees. This smartphone emphasizes a large screen and a powerful battery.
After extensively using the Redmi 15 5G, we have clear insights about this device's ideal user. In this review, we will answer if this phone meets the needs of potential buyers.
The Redmi 15 5G flaunts a large screen, giving it a phablet-like feel rather than just a smartphone. It belongs to the category of devices from some years ago known for their larger displays. The phone houses a display with noticeable bezels. Its considerable size makes one-handed usage quite challenging.

The rear features a dual-camera setup. While the design of the rear panel is appealing, featuring a textured finish, opinions vary—some might appreciate it, while others may not find it appealing. Design-wise, the phone doesn't quite stand out from its budget range.
This smartphone offers a 6.9-inch FHD+ LCD display supporting a refresh rate of 144Hz. However, the screen's brightness seems underwhelming, especially in daylight conditions. If you enjoy watching videos or gaming, this large display device might appeal to you, exuding the vibes of a mini-tablet or phablet.

Equipped with a 50MP main lens and a 2MP secondary camera, the front camera boasts an 8MP selfie shooter. However, the camera performance might not impress those seeking high-quality photography. Alternatives in this budget may offer better day and low-light photography experiences.
The debut of a new segment contender with a strong focus on screen size and battery life.
In terms of performance, the Redmi 15 5G has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 processor, which is older but still performs decently for daily tasks, multitasking, and average gaming.
No significant heating issues were observed. You can engage in games like COD and BGMI here, though not at the highest settings. For heavy gamers, alternative smartphones should be considered. The device serves well for everyday tasks and video watching experiences.

The smartphone's speaker is quite loud, enhancing video watching. No issues were noted during calls and connectivity. The 7000mAh battery provides tough competition in its price range.
You can use this phone for two days on a single charge. With heavy usage, the battery still lasts more than a day. It supports 33W charging and takes over an hour to fully charge.
This phone is an excellent choice for those desiring a large battery and display. If you prefer compact or camera-focused phones, this may not be your best option. However, fans of large screens will find it seamlessly fits into their wishlist.
