Xiaomi has expanded its Note series in China with the new Redmi Note 15R. “Unlike the Redmi Note 15, the 15R packs a massive battery with reverse wired charging, capable of powering not just earphones but other phones as well.

Up front, the Note 15R features a 6.9-inch FHD+ LCD with 144Hz refresh rate and 850 nits peak brightness (HBM). It also supports wet-hand touch input and offers a 288Hz touch sampling rate for smoother response in games. Powering the device is the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 (6nm, 2.3GHz), paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage.

The phone weighs 217g, measures 8.4mm thick, and carries IP64 dust and water resistance. Buyers can choose from Glacier White, Shadow Black, and Quicksand Purple.

The phone comes with a 50MP main rear camera and an 8MP selfie camera. Its highlight is the 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, which Xiaomi says can maintain durability for up to five years. Charging is handled by 33W wired charging and 18W reverse charging.

On the software side, it runs HyperOS 2 based on Android 15, with Xiaomi promising 48 months of smooth performance. Other features include Dolby Atmos support, a 200% volume boost, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, and an infrared remote sensor.

The Redmi Note 15R is available in three configurations:

8GB + 256GB – 1,499 yuan (~$210)

12GB + 256GB – 1,899 yuan (~$265)

12GB + 512GB – 2,199 yuan (~$305)

Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed sales outside China, but the Note 15R’s large battery and competitive pricing make it an appealing choice for entry-level buyers.
