Redmi Note 15 Pro in for review
The Redmi Note 15 series by Xiaomi is going global, and we've got all five units at the office and in for review. Let's unbox the Redmi Note 15 Pro (this is the 4G model).

It comes in a well-stocked box - you get a 45W charger, a USB-C to USB-A cable, and a grey silicone case.
The Redmi Note 15 Pro shares some similarities with the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G (and even the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G). Pictured here against the Pro 15 5G (on the right), the two are similar in size, but the 5G model has a slightly larger display (6.83-inch vs 6.77-inch).
The Redmi Note 15 Pro has a similar curvier design to the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G - both its front and rear panels are sloping. The frame has flat sides, just like the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G, though.

It's up to you whether you prefer curvier glass or flat glass; luckily, Redmi gives you all the choice (too much choice even).
The Redmi Note 15 Pro packs a 6,500mAh battery - that's 80mAh less than the 5G model, but the charging speed is the same at 45W. Reverse charging is a bit slower, for whatever reason (18W vs 22.5W).
Another difference is the chipset - the 4G model has a 6nm MediaTek Helio G200-Ultra, while the 5G model steps up to a 4nm Dimensity 7400-Ultra. You can spec the phone either with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, or move up to 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage.
The Redmi Note 15 Pro isn't as tough on paper as the Pro 5G and Pro+ 5G - it's capped at IP65, but it isn't something you'd feel when grasping the phone in your hands. It feels robust and well-made. Ours is the Titanium Color model, but you can also get the phone in Glacier Blue and Black.
The Redmi Note 15 Pro packs the same Gorilla Glass Victus 2 over its display. The screen is flanked by dual speakers, which have something Redmi calls 300% volume boost. The speakers are excellent and support Dolby Atmos. More on that in our full review!

Tough shit about the headphone jack. It’s what Apple started when they took away the jack on the iPhone 7 and never brought it back. No different to Apple going eSIM with its newer models, even a lot of people still want a sim tray
