NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Xiaomi Redmi 17C 5G is the more complete choice: it pairs a 50 MP main camera, versus 13 MP on the Redmi 15R 5G, with reverse charging. Their overall scores are close, so the choice comes down to these differences and Google services, which the 17C includes.
Both have a 6.9″ IPS LCD with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 800 nits of peak brightness. Contrast favors the 17C at 1500 :1 versus 1200 :1. They share the Dimensity 6300, 4 GB of RAM, and support for up to 128 GB of storage.
The 17C runs Android 16 and includes Google services; the 15R runs Android 15 and does not. Both have a 6000 mAh battery and 33 W charging, but the 17C adds reverse charging and USB Power Delivery. The Redmi 15R 5G may suit buyers who value aptX and LDAC audio support.
