Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 China Version Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 China Version - an exemplary inexpensive device

Every year, the Chinese company Xiaomi, if they do not make a small revolution in the smartphone market, then they certainly keep all their opponents on their toes. So, it's time to release the basic model of the Note line for residents of China. The hero has noticeably advanced in functionality, which cannot but please.

The appearance of the new product has become noticeably more beautiful. Few in the price segment are ready to boast of such a stylish back panel made of high-quality polycarbonate, almost full moisture protection according to IP66 standards, an up-to-date camera block and quite thin display frames with a built-in fingerprint scanner. The almost 7-inch AMOLED panel is much more interesting than that of its predecessor. The peak brightness has grown to 3200 nits, and the color rendering is more natural. FullHD+ resolution is enough for image clarity, and it is also smooth at a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

The technical characteristics include the fresh Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, 6GB/8GB of RAM and the Adreno 710 video core. This is a more than viable bundle for the price category, scoring about 600 thousand points in the AnTuTu test. The HyperOS interface based on Android is devoid of lags, the vast majority of resource-intensive games work perfectly at low-medium graphics settings. There is no excess heating, throttling is almost not noticeable. The battery, which has grown to 5800 mAh, provides autonomy for about a couple of days of work with the gadget. Fast charging at 45W also does not seem modest. The permanent memory can be 128/256 GB if there is a slot for MicroSD cards.

Perhaps, only the photographic capabilities are far from ideal. The main 50-megapixel photo module from Omnivision and a 2-megapixel depth sensor are more or less suitable for daytime photo sessions, but due to the lack of optical stabilization, you can’t count on high-quality photos in the evening. There is stereo sound, but it is not too loud or balanced. The version under consideration does not have NFC contactless payments, it is recommended to wait for them in the global configuration. But the IR port is available in both. As a result, we have an imperfect, but very competitive phablet that can and should be considered for purchase.
