Xiaomi India will introduce the Redmi 15A next week
So, that’s what the “hero” teaser was about – Xiaomi is bringing back its affordable Redmi A-series next week. The last one was the Redmi 10A from early 2022. Note that this is different from the likes of the Redmi A5, which is an Android Go Edition phone. The Redmi 10A ran full-fat Android.
Xiaomi Redmi 15A: 5G chipset with an octa-core CPU • dual-camera
The Redmi 15A will become the first 5G-capable phone in its family. Details are a bit scarce, but here are a few other specs to look forward to. For reference, the 10A launched at ₹8,500 four years ago.
The 15A will have the “largest and smoothest” display in its segment (which segment is that, though?). The 120Hz refresh rate is notable as the 10A had a 60Hz IPS LCD.
Xiaomi Redmi 15A: 120Hz display • 6,300mAh battery
Also, the phone will be equipped with a 6,300mAh battery. This again is a solid jump over the previous model, which had a 5,000mAh battery (to be fair, that was four years ago).
The upgrade to a dual-camera is also significant in the context of previous A-series phones, but we’ll have to wait for more teasers to find out anything about the sensors. Similarly, the phone will have an IP rating, but the exact spec is TBA.

4GB is for stock Android Go, and that's being merciful. 6GB is currently the bare minimum and it has its limitations. That phone will be a hero by night, not by day.

USD170 is only reasonable for a 3 year old phone, as long as it's a flagship. There's always an option to purchase deadstock devices, without overpaying for second hand e-waste with questionable previous use.
