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

Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro+ - improvements that will delight you?

The Chinese company Xiaomi decided to improve the most expensive representative of the Redmi Note line for the global market this year. If the previous models were among the best in their price category, now there is no doubt about the commercial success of the updated hero of today's review.

The appearance of the new product is similar to that of its predecessor. A similar block of photo modules, a variety of textures and colors of the rear panels, full protection from dust and moisture according to IP68 standards, a frameless 6.83-inch AMOLED screen with a built-in fingerprint scanner looks modern and stylish. The quality of the AMOLED panel has also improved. There is no question about the clarity of the image at a resolution of 2772x1280 pixels, or its smoothness at a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The color rendition is more realistic, the touch panel is more responsive. The effectiveness of the oleophobic coating is good.

The technical characteristics include the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 CPU, 8GB/12GB/16GB RAM and Adreno 810 video core. Performance at the level of 900,000 points in the AnTuTu test guarantees lag-free operation of the HyperOS shell based on Android, and games will work stably at medium-high, or even maximum graphics settings. The high-tech chipset is not without energy efficiency, throttling is also minimal. The battery, which has grown to 7000 mAh (6500 mAh in the global configuration), will provide more than 10-12 hours of active screen time. Of course, there is also fast wired charging with a power of 90 W (100 W for the rest of the world). But the developer still saves the wireless alternative for flagships. The permanent memory is 256/512 GB, it cannot be expanded with microSD cards.

The photo capabilities have undergone pleasant metamorphoses. Yes, the 8-megapixel wide-angle lens is still mediocre, but the combination of the 50-megapixel main photo module Omnivision Light Hunter 800 and a telephoto lens (only in the version for the Celestial Empire) with a three-fold optical zoom of the same 50 MP is excellent. Both have hybrid stabilization and are capable of highly detailed daytime and evening photos and videos. The stereo speakers are not flagship, but they are quite loud, the sound is balanced, pleasing to the ear. NFC contactless payments, 5G network support, the IR port is in place, and the version for China also supports satellite communications. Thus, before us is a worthy continuation of the ideas of the series, ready to give the buyer a lot of positive emotions.
