Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus Leak: Surprising Downgrade Revealed

Key Takeaways

1. The Redmi Note 15 series is expected to launch in India in September, with sales starting on January 9, 2026.
2. The global version of the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus will feature 8 GB of RAM, unlike the 12 GB in the Chinese model.
3. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor will provide only a slight performance boost compared to its predecessor.
4. Geekbench scores indicate modest performance improvements of 6% in single-core and 3% in multi-core tests.
5. The global variant may have a smaller 6,500 mAh battery and lack the 50 MP telephoto lens found in the Chinese version.


Early signs of the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus’ global launch have appeared online. Just a few days ago, tipster Abhishek Yadav mentioned that the Redmi Note 15 series is set to debut in India in September. However, the ‘first sales’ are reportedly not going to start until January 9, 2026. It’s still a mystery when Xiaomi plans to roll out the Redmi Note 15 series to other regions like Europe, Africa, or the Middle East.

Performance Insights

In the meantime, an early Geekbench listing has provided some information about Xiaomi’s strategy for the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus on a global scale. Interestingly, the global version of the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus will come with 8 GB of RAM, similar to its predecessor (currently priced at $352 on Amazon), instead of the 12 GB offered in China. Furthermore, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 is expected to deliver only a slight performance improvement over the previous model.

Benchmark Results

With scores of 1,239 and 3,347, the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus achieves just 6% and 3% performance enhancements in the Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. Earlier leaks suggest that the global variant of the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus will not include the 50 MP telephoto lens found in the Chinese model nor its impressive 7,000 mAh battery. Instead, Xiaomi is likely to outfit the international version with a smaller 6,500 mAh battery and similar camera features as its predecessor. We will have to wait and see if this is also true for the Indian launch.
