Xiaomi has officially launched the Redmi 15C 5G in several European countries, including Poland, France, Spain, and Hungary, following the earlier release of its 4G counterpart. The new model brings next-generation connectivity and several key upgrades while retaining the large display and massive battery that defined the original.
Key Upgrades: 5G Connectivity and Modern Chipset
The most significant change in the 5G variant is the shift from a MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra to a Dimensity 6300 chipset. Built on a more efficient 6nm process, the new silicon offers improved performance with two Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores. This upgrade ensures smoother daily use and improved energy management, which is beneficial for 5G tasks.
Display and Battery: Large and Long-Lasting
The phone features a 6.9-inch IPS LCD with a 720p+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for media consumption and casual gaming. Powering the device is a substantial 6,000mAh battery that supports 33W wired charging, capable of reaching 50% in just 28 minutes. Notably, the retail box does not include a charger.
Camera and Durability
Photography is handled by a 50MP main rear camera and an 8MP front-facing shooter, both of which are capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps. The device also boasts an IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance, adding durability for everyday use.
Additional Features
The Redmi 15C 5G features practical extras, including a 3.5mm headphone jack, FM radio, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. It supports Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.4, and multiple global navigation systems. NFC availability varies by region.
Pricing and Availability
The Redmi 15C 5G is already on sale in Europe, with prices starting around €165 for the 4GB RAM and 128GB storage model. A 256GB variant is also available. For comparison, the 4G version typically retails for €150 but is currently discounted to €130 in Spain.
