Xiaomi has officially launched the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus in China following numerous speculations before its release. While many discussions revolved around the device itself, some also hinted at Xiaomi’s strategy for releasing it globally. Early firmware updates seem to reveal several hardware modifications intended for the global version of the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus, and we have detailed those changes in another article.
Changes in Poco Series
Furthermore, this firmware suggests that Xiaomi is planning to revamp its Poco series to include a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus. To clarify, the Poco X8 was previously linked with the Redmi Note 15 Pro, mainly due to the similarities between their predecessors. However, the model number 2510ERA8BC actually corresponds to the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus, not the Redmi Note 15 Pro.
Model Numbers and Rebranding
Additionally, the early firmware for the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus implies that Xiaomi has designated the model number ‘2510EPC8BG’ for the Poco M8 Pro. For context, the Poco M7 Pro features hardware from the Redmi Note 14 5G available in China and its Indian version. Therefore, renaming the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus to the Poco M8 Pro would indicate a significant shift in the Poco M series on a global scale.
At this point, it is still unclear how this will affect the Poco X series. Nevertheless, it appears that the Poco M8 Pro will come equipped with a robust 6,500 mAh battery and support for 100 W wired charging. In addition, the device seems to feature an OmniVision OVX8000 main camera, which is also found in the Xiaomi 14 Civi and the Redmi Note 14 Pro, along with an 8 MP OmniVision OV08F ultra-wide-angle camera that is shared with the Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus.
