Xiaomi's popular sub-brand, Redmi, has officially expanded its Indian portfolio with two major product launches. On January 6, 2026, the company unveiled the much-anticipated Redmi Note 15 smartphone alongside the Redmi Pad Pro 2 tablet. Both devices promise significant upgrades in performance, display technology, and battery life, targeting the competitive mid-range segment of the Indian market.
Redmi Note 15: A Mid-Range Powerhouse with Flagship Features
The latest addition to the best-selling Note series comes packed with compelling hardware. At its core lies the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, designed to deliver efficient performance for everyday tasks and gaming. The visual experience is anchored by a large 6.77-inch AMOLED display that boasts a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. A standout claim from the company is the screen's exceptional brightness, reaching up to 3,200 nits at its peak.
Redmi has overhauled the design language for the Note 15. The rear camera module has been transformed from a square island to a prominent large circular housing. The camera system itself sees a major leap, with the primary sensor upgraded to a high-resolution 108MP shooter, a significant jump from the 50MP sensor on its predecessor. While the 8MP ultrawide camera remains, the less-used 2MP macro sensor has been removed.
Enhancing its durability, the smartphone carries an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance, offering protection against heavy rain splashes. On the software front, it runs HyperOS 2 based on Android 15 out of the box. Xiaomi promises an impressive 4 years of major OS updates and 6 years of security patches. Powering the device is a substantial 5,520mAh battery that supports 45W wired fast charging.
Pricing and Availability for Redmi Note 15
The Redmi Note 15 will be available in two storage configurations. The base variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at Rs 22,999. The higher model with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage costs Rs 24,999. Attractive bank offers can provide instant discounts of up to Rs 3,000 for customers using select bank cards. The smartphone will go on sale in India starting January 9, 2026.
Redmi Pad Pro 2: A Productivity Tablet with a Colossal Battery
Launching alongside the smartphone is the Redmi Pad Pro 2, a tablet focused on media consumption and productivity. It features a spacious 12.1-inch QHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate for fluid scrolling and visuals. Under the hood, it is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, with an option for 5G connectivity in select models.
The tablet's most remarkable feature is its gigantic 12,000mAh battery, which is supported by 33W wired charging. For an immersive audio experience, it comes equipped with a quad-speaker setup tuned with Dolby Atmos support. The camera setup is utilitarian, featuring an 8MP sensor on both the front and rear, suitable for video calls and document scanning.
