Massive Battery Boost
According to recent leaks, the Redmi 15 5G will pack a 7,000mAh battery—a big step up from the 5,160mAh cell in the Redmi 14C 5G and the 5,030mAh battery in the Redmi 13 5G. Impressively, it’s said to offer 7.5 hours of standby time even at just 1% charge, potentially translating to up to 750 hours (31+ days) on full charge.
For comparison:
-
Redmi 14C 5G: 5,160mAh | 21 days standby (quoted)
-
Redmi 13 5G: 5,030mAh | Standby time not disclosed
This could mean fewer charging cycles and longer overall battery life—especially valuable for users frequently on the move or away from charging points.
Competitive Edge in the Budget Segment
If launched at around ₹14,000, the Redmi 15 5G would outshine many rivals in the budget category. Most competitors—like the Tecno POVA 7, OPPO K13x, and iQOO Z10x—still offer batteries around 6,000mAh. The Redmi 15 5G could set a new standard in this price range.
Performance: Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 Under the Hood
The phone is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 SoC, a 6nm chipset with:
-
2x Cortex-A78 cores @ 2.3GHz
-
6x Cortex-A55 cores @ 2.0GHz
It’s the same processor used in the Motorola Moto G85, and early benchmark comparisons show that it outperforms the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 found in both the Redmi 13 5G and 14C 5G.
AnTuTu Benchmark Scores:
-
Moto G85 (Snapdragon 6s Gen 3): 471,687
-
Redmi 13 5G (Snapdragon 4 Gen 2): 445,212
-
Redmi 14C 5G (Snapdragon 4 Gen 2): 438,871
This suggests users can expect smoother performance and improved multitasking with the Redmi 15 5G.
Display and Features: What to Expect
Rumored specs suggest a full-HD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate, offering a smoother visual experience than the 120Hz screens on its predecessors.
Other expected features include:
-
50MP primary camera + 2MP depth sensor
-
8GB RAM + 256GB storage (global variant)
-
Android 15 out of the box with HyperOS 2.0
-
IP64 rating for better dust and water resistance
Final Thoughts: Worth the Wait?
With a leaked price of RM699 (approx. ₹14,000), the Redmi 15 5G could be one of the most well-rounded phones in its class—offering better battery, display, performance, and storage than most alternatives in the segment.
Unless you’re in urgent need of a new phone, it might be smart to wait for the Redmi 15 5G’s official India launch. This could be the device that redefines what to expect from a budget 5G smartphone.
