Editorial report
Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Special technical sheet
The Redmi Note 15 Special suits buyers who prioritize a large, very bright display and stronger-than-usual protection. Its main trade-off is the rear camera: its sensor is smaller than those in most phones of its time.
The 6.77″ AMOLED display reaches 3200 nits, while the 89.7% screen-to-body ratio leaves relatively little bezel. Those figures support comfortable viewing indoors and outdoors. The 120 Hz refresh rate enables smooth scrolling, although it is typical for phones of its time. IP66 protects against water and dust, while MIL-STD-810H covers shocks and drops.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, 8 GB of RAM and expandable 256 GB storage form a practical everyday setup, with Android 15 as the operating system. The rear camera combines 50 MP, an f/1.8 aperture and 4K video at 30 fps, but its 1/2.88″ sensor is worse than those in most phones of its time. The phone also has 5G, dual Nano-SIM, stereo speakers and reverse charging.
Connectivity is worse than on most phones of its time, even though 5G, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1 and several navigation systems are included. With a NeoScore of 6.1, the Redmi Note 15 Special is a better fit for buyers who value the display and protection than for those who put camera hardware first.
