Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G to launch soon in India with 6,580mAh battery, Victus 2 protection and more
Xiaomi appears to be gearing up for the India launch of the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G, as the device has now surfaced on Geekbench, hinting that its arrival is imminent. The Redmi Note series has traditionally been a strong performer in the Indian mid-range smartphone market, and early details suggest that the Note 15 Pro 5G could continue that trend.
Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G India launch imminent
Xiaomi globally unveiled the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G and Note 15 Pro+ in December 2025. While the company has not yet officially announced the India launch date, the appearance of the Indian variant on benchmarking platforms strongly indicates that preparations are underway.
Geekbench listing reveals key details
According to a Geekbench listing, an unannounced Xiaomi smartphone with the model number 25080RABDI— tipped by reliable leaker Abhishek Yadav — is believed to be the Indian variant of the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G.
The listing confirms:
- Android 15 out of the box
- 8GB RAM (more variants expected at launch)
- Octa-core ARMv8 processor with a peak clock speed of 2.6GHz
In terms of performance, the device scored:
- 1,051 points (single-core)
- 2,938 points (multi-core)
These scores position it firmly in the upper mid-range segment, suitable for multitasking, gaming, and daily usage.
Hardware and software expectations
Reports suggest that the Indian Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, paired with a Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. The device is expected to run HyperOS 2 based on Android 15, offering smoother animations, improved battery optimisation, and enhanced system stability.
This combination should deliver a balanced performance experience, especially for users who game casually, consume media heavily, or rely on their phones throughout the day.
Display, camera and battery specifications
Xiaomi is likely to retain the same hardware as the global variant. Expected highlights include:
- 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display
- 120Hz refresh rate
- Up to 3,200 nits peak brightness
- Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection
For photography:
- 200MP primary camera with OIS
- 8MP ultra-wide camera
- 20MP front camera for selfies and video calls
Battery and charging:
- 6,580mAh battery
- 45W fast charging
- 22.5W reverse charging
The large battery combined with fast charging makes the phone particularly appealing for power users and gamers.
Expected price in India
In Poland, the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G (8GB + 256GB) is priced at PLN 1,699, roughly ₹42,000. However, Xiaomi typically prices its Redmi Note lineup more aggressively in India.
Industry expectations suggest the Indian price could be significantly lower, placing it competitively against rivals from Realme, Samsung, and iQOO. While Xiaomi has not confirmed the exact launch date, the phone is expected to debut within the current quarter.
What to expect next
With its large battery, premium display protection, high-resolution camera, and new chipset, the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G is shaping up to be a strong contender in India’s crowded mid-range smartphone market. More details, including official pricing and launch timelines, are expected soon.
